First of all, I would like to make clear that I'm not laughing at the US (me being a Brit an' all), just at this particular segment. This whole GOP Primary has just tickled my fancy. So much so that I stay up till the wee small hours to watch the GOP debates. Funniest sh*t on the telly.
The Donald is, in my humble opinion, one of the most ridiculous figures in the whole shebang/clown car/circus. Let's face it, that's saying something.
The man's ego is a wonderful thing to behold. I don't think he's ever recovered from being made such a fool of by Obama. The shindig where Obama made the comment about important decisions.........
In fact, this one...
As you all probably know by now, Trump is scheduled to moderate a GOP debate on December 27th in conjunction with Newsmax.
The fun however starts right here.....

Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman have shown what appears to be actual class and demurred.
Ron Paul's campaign chairman...
“The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office’s history and dignity. Mr. Trump’s participation as moderator will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues such as the national economy, crushing federal government debt, the role of the federal government, foreign policy, and the like. To be sure, Mr. Trump’s participation will contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere.
“Mr. Trump’s selection is also wildly inappropriate because of his record of toying with the serious decision of whether to compete for our nation’s highest office, a decision he appeared to make frivolously. The short-lived elevation of Mr. Trump’s stature as a candidate put him on the radar of many organizations and we recall that last spring he was invited to keynote the Republican Party of Iowa’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner, yet at the last minute he left RPI holding the bag by canceling. In turn, RPI canceled its biggest fundraising gala of the year and suffered embarrassment and in addition RPI was required to engage in refunding measures. Our candidate will not even consider participating in the late-December debate until Mr. Trump publicly apologizes to Iowa party leaders and rectifies in full the situation.
“Therefore our candidate Ron Paul, the champion of the Constitution, has advised he will not attend.”
The Newt has no class what.so.ever. ...

Newt Gingrich has become the first GOP hopeful to accept the NewsMax/Donald Trump debate invitation, and explained to reporters why a bit ago: "How could you turn down The Donald?"
"I would want to go just for the entertainment value," he added, noting he's meeting with Trump on Monday in Manhattan. But he quickly added, "Trump is a unique American character...it'd be like if Bill Gates called (asking for a debate presence."
How could you turn down "The Donald"? Really Newt?
However, for real
lack of class you'd have to go to "The Donald"

"As I said in the past and will reiterate again, Ron Paul has a zero chance of winning either the nomination or the presidency," Trump said in a statement in response to Paul, adding, "my poll numbers were substantially higher than any of his poll numbers, at any time."
"Few people take Ron Paul seriously and many of his views and presentation make him a clown-like candidate," he said. "I am glad he and Jon Huntsman, who has inconsequential poll numbers or a chance of winning, will not be attending the debate and wasting the time of the viewers who are trying very hard to make a very important decision."
Trump referred to his book that's coming out and his claim he is worth more than $7 billion, and asked why he is "not the right person to lead this country out of economic chaos or at least to moderate a debate. I would like to see how Ron Paul would fair in the world of big business."
Donald, Donald, Donald, I just want to know if you use your hair to wash your bum when you take a shower.......... er, wait... no I don't.
