    Trump is the Anti-Candidate of the Month. He came out talking tough, saying things (other than the McCain gaffe) many people wish they'd hear from their politicians. That results in a great poll bump for now, but it won't last.

    I think you're making my point. Of course he's not going to pony up a billion dollars, but her certainly could. Good article, I hadn't seen that.

    Very few billionaires could come up with a $Billion in cash. Probably Bill Gate, Warren Buffet, and a very few others have assets liquid enough to raise that much quickly. And even they would have to sell so much stock so quickly that it would adversely affect the stock market. No way Trump could. His net worth is a house of cards and mortgaged to the hilt.

    If Saddam Hussein were still alive Trump might ask him for a loan. When he was on the run American soldiers found a billion of his cash.

    I'm not suggesting he could do it tomorrow but he could easily have $1 billion in cash on hand by this time next year which is when he would need it. He currently has over $300 million on hand.

    Your statement that his fortune is a house of cards is pure speculation. His trouble properties have always been the casino properties. He's not leveraged to the hilt either if the Forbes article red linked is to be believed.

    And the hits just keep on coming:

    Trump gives out Lindsey Graham’s cellphone number

    Hours after South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called Donald Trump “the world’s biggest jackass” for questioning Arizona Sen. John McCain’s “war hero” status, the real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate responded by giving out Graham’s personal cellphone number.

    In a characteristically rambling speech to reporters in Bluffton, S.C., Trump told the crowd that Graham once called “begging” him to put in a good word with “Fox & Friends,” the Fox News morning show on which the billionaire businessman and “Celebrity Apprentice” host was a frequent guest.

    Trump read aloud Graham’s private telephone number from a piece of paper at the podium.

    “Maybe it’s an old number,” Trump told his supporters. “I don’t know, give it a shot.”

    A call to the phone number by Yahoo News went to Graham’s voicemail box, which was full.

    Jesus I hope he stays around for a while. He is really killing me with his antics. Personally, it's funny to me to see career politicians getting lambasted by the Donald. Lindsey Graham, John McCain's girlfriend, is gonna have to change his number now. He calls Donald a jack ass, and Trump spreads his phone number around. Awesome.

    Lol, we stopped this truck at a check point one night, sum bitch was loaded down with gold bricks. We were all trying to figure out how we could get away with one.

    The brass sent a sample off to be tested, turns out they were just that, gold colored lead bricks they looked real
