We all know that Donald Trump would make the best, most powerful, awesomest, biggest, goldest, finest President ever. Just ask him!  But will he honor us with an actual run?  To get into the debates you have to be an official candidate, not just have a PAC or exploratory committee but the real thing (FEC filing, paid staffers, etc). He keeps saying that he will surprise the people who think he isn't running.

It seems that if he runs, he will be in the debates (bumping out another lower tier candidate). And he is not afraid to attack his fellow Republicans. Just look at his Twitter feed. He has gone after Walker, Bush, Rubio and even this week he has been attacking Kasich.

Pretty much his last chance. I doubt there will be even a modicum of interest in four years.

He may run, but no person with a smidgen of sense would vote for him.

Terrifyingly, Trump is sounding saner than many of the "big" candidates.

I'm leaning towards no, but it would be hilarious to watch.

I am actually inclined to think he will this time, simply because he needs to in order to get the attention.

I agree with a couple others in this thread, he might actually do it this time.

He will run. He will not win the nomination, but he will be powerful in the debates. I can see him running in 2020 and 2024.

I hope he does, but he won't. He does this every four years to drum up interest in his latest investment project or ratings for his reality shows.

You do know he'll be almost 80 by then, right?

This will be his last stand in Presidential politics, and he'll lose.

Yes, he'll be 74 in 2020 and 78 in 2024, but that didn't stop Ron Paul from running.

Donald Trump is no Ron Paul.

Didn't we have all this will he/won't he in 2012. The position of a wacko CEO running on a ed up slightly RINO/I'm a heartless business prick from a blue state has been taken by Carly Fiorina

The big difference between this year and all the previous flirtations is that Trump has now been hiring staff, something that he's never done before. He also keeps saying that he's going to "surprise a lot of people" with his announcement next month, leading me to believe that he's already decided on running. At this point I would be more surprised if he didn't jump in. Then again, maybe that's just because I'm salivating at the thought of his potential campaign.

By the way, his promotional video is a must-watch
