Why Does FDT's Announcement Matter?

Is he or isn't he?

Does anyone actually believe that Fred is NOT going to announce that he is running for the Republican nomination for President? Yet many supporters are concerned that Fred has not announced yet. The feel that he is leaving money on the table, though it is clear that the Republicans are holding back waiting either for Fred or someone to rise to the top. The money will be available when he announces.

There is little to gain by announcing. If you support FDT, assume he is going to run and do the things to support his run! Fred will announce when he is ready (probably about a month away). Hopefully by then he will have his campaign team structured the way that he wants it. It certainly will not be before he is ready to run the campaign.

By the way. My personal hope is that he announces at the Midwest Republican Leadership Conference that will be here in Indianapolis on August 24-26. Fred is the keynote speaker on the 25th.

An announcement in Indianapolis would be great and quite something to see (particularly because I am going to be there to see it), but I would bet on him announcing in Tennessee.

Well, I wouldn't bet against you. But a guy can hope.
