Pundits have largely deemed Thursday's debate a misstep for real estate mogul Donald Trump, but he may have won over billionaire investor Carl Icahn.

The activist investor tweeted Friday afternoon that he had decided to accept a Trump offer for Treasury secretary. Still, he noted that "the methods of electing our corporate and political leaders have become completely dysfunctional."

Boom! Trump! Icahn!

Yes, they are billionaires. But then, everybody up on that stage was a millionaire. So it's rich folks against richer folks. The richer folks have a freer hand. Politics is all corrupted by money anyway. So cut out the middlemen, who are faithless to everybody, and get some ballbreakers like Trump in there.

I'm for him.

You're embarrassing yourself, Champion of the Poor. Do you actually have any principles at all?

Apparently you think I should be embarrassed. I see no reason to be.

I have often stated my principles. You don't state yours.

At least we have finally found the one Republican tycoon you're willing to fight to the death for, loathsome as he is.

Your "principles" keep changing. Pining for Biden to win last week, swooning over the manliness of Donald Trump this week...

This is not a picture of principles or consistency.

" loathsome as he is. "

OK TC. It is obvious that you are not a Trump supporter.

To be honest, who do you support at this point in time?

I asked him that a few weeks ago. He mentioned Rick Perry. In state tuition Rick Perry.

I think he said he would vote for Bush too. Bush wasn't his first choice though.

He also likes Hillary better the Trump. I say that because he said if Trump gets the nomination he couldn't see himself voting for him.

I'm tempted to say anybody-but-Trump, much as the 2012 GOP primary was an anybody-but-Romney exercise in futility.

But I still like Rand best, mostly because the GOP is too religious and too ready to warmonger. It is a party that is too old and too white to survive as it is. Only Rand is going for the younger voters and the non-white voters. I noticed in post-debate interviews with the audience, the only two blacks who were asked said they support Rand.

I think Rand is a hard sell overall. He doesn't debate well for one thing. So I am looking at Walker as the next best choice to stop Bush from prevailing with his deep pockets and deep party elite support. Walker, last I heard, is still the Tea folk's choice too.

The GOP has to grow beyond whites over 50 and very religious younger people.
