Why not? We could have a new reality show called Presidential Apprentice. The winner gets to be Vice President for a month.

Well, I for one like Donald Trump. The problem he will have is the “other” 535 bosses. He knows how to raise revenue and make things work. If he can come in with a good management team, I think heads will roll. I can’t believe the loss opportunities we had through the years to make our country work.

We are in agreement on this one! Though, he seems like such an arrogant bastage that I wonder how he would deal with being president, which is not the national CEO.
