And what makes some think Obama is a "great family man"?

We accept that most marrieds are great family people until demonstrated other wise.

The comment is the most likely balancing comment to him being the worst president ever.

I think like everything else Obama does, how he ACTS and BEHAVES as a family man is orchestrated and managed.....just like everything else he does.

He is incapable of spontaneous anything!

First, I am a conservative Republican. I oppose almost all Obama stands for relative to policies.

Marital fidelity is one aspect of character, especially when you boast of it crudely in books and on the air while still married.

That kind of behavior is of the Kardashian, and yes Celebrity Apprentice age, and is a terrible anchor on the character.

Add a despicable, filthy mouth and a soul that allows you to label everyone and anyone who may disagree with you.

Imagine Obama speaking of anyone in the terms that Trump uses. You would be outraged.

Donald Trump is AT BEST a failed human being.

Again, Trump is my last choice of nominee. However, I have to wonder if he runs his businesses in such a crude fashion. The same characteristics of crudeness, foul language, marital infidelity, and insulting everyone does not play any better in the business world, in fact it probably plays much worse given the voter response to Trump so far. So is it all an act??? I just can't imagine he succeeded in building a multi-billion dollar empire with these tactics.

So I think the problem with Trump is twofold. First, the general electorate has no idea what to make of him. He has solidified a base of vehemently angry voters, but he needs to broaden his appeal, not just talk about expanding his base.

The second problem is the Republican "establishment", who have clearly drawn a line in the sand. To have prominent Republicans publically state they would vote for Hilary is self-destructive. They can't possibly want Clinton in the WH, so why go out and burn bridges that may never be repaired in time for November? I think their motives are clear---they cannot control him. Remember the words of Emperor Darth Sidious from Star Wars III---"All those in power are afraid to lose it". This seems to be the case here. I just wish they would leave a back door open for reconciliation, lest we hear the 5 scariest words in the English language----"Good Morning President Hilary Clinton"

He has not even been vetted and people are fawning over him as they would a Kardashian. It is truely disgusting. Except for Celebrity Apprentice, this does not happen. He sells his name and got that name from a gift from his father. He is a promoter of stature to be sure.

Trump airlines failed
Trump mortgage failed
Trump Univ failed (in addition to fraud activities)
Trump Vodka failed
Three marriages failed
Trump Casino failed
4 bankruptcies

His clothing line is mfg in China, Mexico and Bangladesh

Just to begin. That dirty rotten establishment knows he is a foul mouthed, characterless, racist, egoist with zero experience

Are you saying he thinks before he talks and acts. He still plays full court basketball. There' a lot of spontaneity in that game. Watch him at at a breifing or interview. Like Clinton he pauses at the end of the question. Thinks about how to answer the question or comment.

Trump fires back like a comedian trying to out-funny the heckler. His McCain response of calling men heros because they don't get captured is a perfect example. Even Trump would have let that pass if he thought for 2 seconds before responding. He's funny and quick witted. That works on the Howard Stern show.

So, Obama speaks eloquently. We know that, since Harry Reid was kind enough to endorse him as speaking good white man when he wants to. Too bad, his behavior is not as great as his speaking ability. And don't forget all those blunders he made in his speeches when he wandered off his teleprompter. Anyone that thinks that Obama has been a great leader, forgets that he believes in "leading from behind" which really means that he is a follower.

But, this election is not about Obama, but will be motivated by his past performance, or lack of. Folks are mad, at his many failures and want to over correct the course of our nation in another radical manner. When your car is sliding, you don't totally jerk it in the opposite direction. You counter-steer carefully, not radically. Trump is a radical counter steer of Obama's radical course to the left. To get back on track again, we need someone that will take us to the right gradually, not harshly like Trump would.

When I look at the primary election this week, to vote early I am thinking of the three bears story. We have Trump as the harsh tough old bear daddy, Rubio as being too soft and Cruz being a compromise. He is a strong Constitutionalist, but at least he has had some experience in law and a couple years in Congress. I was hoping that Rubio would put on a better showing but it is obvious that it is time for him and Kasich to retire from the race. Trump would be bad for our country, I have no doubt. Better than anything that the Dems have to offer this time around, but still bad. But, we should not settle on bad, just because we have had bad from the left for the past seven years. Cruz knows his way around, can beat Hillary and will abide by the Constitution. Whether I like him or not, the choice is Trump or Cruz. I have convinced myself to vote for Cruz this week, even though I had intended to vote for Rubio. In my opinion, Rubio will not be in the final round, unless the convention puts him there. If they do, then they will be wrong and will lose a lot of membership. The cronies are going to have to learn that loyalty to the country is more important than loyalty to the party. We should not have to act like the Democrats and sacrifice country, morals and ethics in order to preserve the party.
