Trump thinking - again - about running for president
Serial presidential campaign explorer Donald Trump is at it again, spending $1 million researching a 2016 run, according to his executive vice president.
"The electoral research was commissioned," Trump's executive VP and special counsel Michael Cohen first told the New York Post and confirmed to CBS News. "We did not spend $1 million on this research for it just to sit on my bookshelf," he said.
"At this point Mr. Trump has not made any decision on a political run, but what I would say is that he is exactly what this country needs. The turnout at these political speeches indicates his following remains very strong and is growing."

"Everybody tells me, 'Please run for president. Please run for president.' I would be much happier if a great and competent person came along," Trump said, according to the Source Newspapers. "I'd be happy if President Obama did a great job. I'm a Republican, but before anything, I love this country. I would love to see somebody come in who is going to be great."
He also said that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee and the GOP "has to pick the right candidate because it will not be an easy election in three years."
