2 hours, 28 minutes ago



ALBANY, N.Y. - Donald Trump is considering running for governor, a leading Republican said Friday.

Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno on Thursday suggested that a big-name candidate could be flirting with entering the 2006 contest. On Friday, he confirmed to News Channel 10 in Albany that he had been referring to Trump.

Bruno told the station he had spoken to the real estate developer and TV personality about a possible run.

Said Frank McKay, state chairman of the Independence Party: "(Trump) is a formidable candidate for anything he decides to run for. We would love to see him run for president of the United States in 2008 as a third-party candidate. I'd do what I could to help give him a strong base here in New York and everywhere else in the country."

Trump flirted with a run for president on the Reform Party ticket in 2000. He has given money to Republicans and Democrats in state races.

[Kadie]

[spindrifter]

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

25. he's a republican? i thought he was a "wig".

[Jade Fox]

26. What IS going on with that man's hair??

Everytime I see him its like, Dude whatever look you're going for with that hair-do, it's not working!

[NaturalHigh]

2. Can this guy get any more full of himself?

When people talk about what a great businessman Trump is, they usually forget to mention his bankruptcy several years ago and his constant cash-flow problems.

[PsN2Wind]

3. He should be Secretary of the Treasury

since he seems able to go bankrupt every few years and still be a billionaire.

[SPKrazy]

6. Everyone should try to shake his hand if he runs!

LOL

The guy is a germophobe!

[grytpype]

8. Oh Jesus, no....

Anything but that.

[tx_dem41]

9. I'm an Atheist, but let me just say....

God help the state of New York.

[roguevalley]

10. He said that last time and didn't. He just likes the attention. :)

[HockeyMom]

11. Now you see WHY the Republican Party

is in such a sorry state in New York?

As a New York voter, I second that:rofl:

[JI7]

12. doesn't this type of news always come out about him ?

seems like he might just want attention or something. and then the media whores start with "Trump for gov" headlines rather than reporting on real issues.

[JI7]

15. this is who will be the next Gov Of NY

[serryjw]

16. I love that man.....sorry

I can't vote for him!

[JI7]

19. what ?

ok, i'm assuming you mean you are sorry you can't vote for him since you aren't in his state ? the same with me.

but it will be good to have him as Gov of such an influential state. and hopefully in the future in the white house as pres, attorney general. or on supreme court.

[serryjw]

22. I vote for him for ANYTHING

It's hard to believe a man like this still exists. Yes, I live in CO, but think having him as NY Governor would be great.

[Book Lover]

20. Who is he? (nm)

23. Here you go........

Bio of Eliot Spitzer...next Governor of NY!

I haven't seen a picture of him in years - haven't lived in NY for over a dozen. I agree; I'd love to see Spitzer as gov.

[carolinalady]

17. One thing is for sure-fundraising is no obstacle! n/t

[Book Lover]

18. Oh please, everybody hates Donald

I know it's a favorite pastime of party machinists to dig up rich guys who have power issues to get them to run, but please, nobody likes him, and when his financial history is publicized, nobody'll trust him with the coffers either.
