From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce

Why 2 yeses??? My answer would be NO. The Donald is too much of a Republican to be anything else. As an Independent, he would be banned from presidential debates. Plus, he's still the GOP front runner. He says a lot of things that make sense.
Trump will do anything to stay in the limelight even if he runs as a Whig and the Media will make sure he stays in the news no matter what!
Once again both are true. Somebody please look up dichotomy.
Trump's insecurities and egotism will not let him admit defeat.

I want to think both are true as well here, he also could be pulling what has been discussed that Trump could be stirring up hatered fo rBush to get him out of the way so that Scott Walker will win the primary, as he is the Koch Brothers boy.
I think it really all depends on just how serious Mr. Trump is about becoming president. Right now, "The Donald" has the spotlight and he's saying what a lot of people are thinking. But how will this pan out in the long run? While he says what people think on one hand, in the very next breath he says something completely crazy. It makes me wonder just how serious he really is and whether he thinks of this as some sort of PR game to feed his ego. Also, the powers that be which control access to the White House and run the government aren't going to let anyone serious about real reform anywhere near the levers of power. It just ain't gonna happen. You can talk about it all you want, but to actually intend to do it? Not a chance.
