I think Trump has a good chance..

Carson has said he would join with Trump as the vice...

If that would happen they would also get the black vote I think..

For just me and many others... Carson is a good man, and many that would vote for him alone, would still vote Trump just to see him on board.

I look at the other side and all I see are the same o, same o, bullshit politicians..

I would have paid the kickback with no problems. I'm sure someone else did and got wealthy especially in that time.

True, but he can, and will combat an "enemy" congress by Executive Fiat, much as you know who is so fond of doing.

Trump, on the other hand, would be more interested in how it benefits the COUNTRY, not his own ego or legacy.

Time will tell.

All true. Yet, for whatever reason, the R side is not challenging O's ways. I suspect the D side would be more active.

As Boehner is now history, the R side's attitude may change.

how good it is... conservatives not being in a cult. We''ll eat our own.

Case in point with Boehner; he's a republican and from my home state. But I have been disappointed in him for years now, and glad he's leaving.

As much as I would LOVE to see that happen, with the current
GOP establishment in power, I'm not getting my hopes up...
