So none of those candidates wants to be the first one in taking the barrage of assaults. they are all -- as one person put it to me, waiting to be the last one in. >> whats the latest we are hearing about sarah palin? is she going to be in, not in? whats going on? >> couple of months everybody was saying none of the republicans will get until they see whats sarah palin is doing. she has become less of a factor in the other minds of the republicans. she says quite openly she is still deliberating...

And the people who, as i was saying before that dont like obama are saying well, maybe if sarah palin doesnt run, maybe theres donald trump. but i think donald trump is going to be somebody who is going to dislike the process, because the kind of scrutiny that hes going to come under, his financial empire, not to mention flip-flopping on issues like abortion, which are very serious issues in the republican party and in the country, i think this is going to be somebody who is going to chafe under...

Donald trump will not be the gop nominee nor next president of the united states. we can compare him to perot. every cycle are these rich odd famous candidates who begin dipping their toe in the water. he will not make it through. he started off with a crazy argument on birther stuff and hasnt brought up much but a large amount of arrogance and media time. that will get you up in the polls but he has name recognition and not someone im willing to take seriously yet. >> even if he doesnt run, thi...
