Do You Believe Donald Trump Would Make A Good President?
Since his announcement earlier this month, Donald Trump as been mired in controversy. From his comments about Mexicans, to his recent shot at John McCain's record as a war hero, Trump has been unapologetic, yet his comments don't seem to be having a negative political effect since he's currently the GOP front runner.
The Questions for Today are:
Is Trump a serious candidate?
Would he make a good President?
Does he have a chance at winning the nomination/general election?

At this point, being the front runner is like being the tallest midget.
To answer your questions:
No, it's about ego and publicity.
Doubtful. A president needs to be able to compromise and do what is "possible". Trump has been the only voice that matters to Trump for a long time.
He has about the same chance to win either one as I do. The republican party isn't crazy enough to put him up and the country certainly isn't crazy enough to put him in office. At least I hope this to be true.
Trump being the front runner is a little more important than that. By him being in the lead, he's making people "pick their horse" a lot earlier this cycle. Trump has no chance of getting the nomination, but by having such an early lead, he's making people rush to the "safe choice" (Jeb Bush) early, this means that the money isn't going to be there for the "dream candidates" that people would normally take a shot on early.
The only real danger Trump poses is if he runs as a third party, although, there are a lot of people (myself included) who wouldn't be surprised if there were two "third party" candidates this time.
So, is the "other" 3rd party going to be Bernie or Hillary?
Bernie, Hillary is going to win the nomination.
