Could Donald Trump just buy the Presidency?

I mean he's worth like 9 billion$. That's more than Clinton and his majesty Bush the 3rd combined, plus all of the other candidates. But I'm thinking since he's a WASP, he will have alot of pushback and the globalists will stack the deck against him.

    Bloomberg could not buy a primary, Trump cannot either.

    Front Money does not make a president or any other high office holder.

    It is the Party Machine bosses who run the elections and make the decisions as to who will be allowed to run and win.

    Pretty much like Professional Wrestling. ...

    The Donald has a Gucci store worth more than the Clinton's.

    If Donald runs a good campaign he might win a Primary.

    Compared to some people, Trump is small time. He is also a well known liar where his personal fortune is concerned.

    But, on the subject of buying elected offices, all political campaigns cost money. The higher the office, the more the campaign costs.

    "Worth" and "have" are totally different. Trump may be worth 9 billion (probably not), but that does not mean he can just write a check for that amount. Also, most of his money is not in liquid assets that could easily be turned into cash.

    He also leaves out his liabilities. Most of his properties are mortgaged to the hilt.

    In addition he over values intangible assets like his TV show and The Miss America Pagent.

    Like my daddy used to say " he's a mile wide and an inch thick".

    Depends if he'll serve the greater interests of people richer than him. They can fund other candidates with a lot more money. Trump isn't a Rockefeller or anything.

    Unless and until the law is changed so they count MONEY instead of votes "we the people" still have the power! You Ron Paul retards need to get this thru your heads! If you never win an election it's due to YOUR intrangience! This nation does not and SHOULD not cater to YOUR whims!

    First of all, he SAYS he's worth $9 Billion. He hasn't proven that. Secondly, you can't polish **** with all the money in the world./
