If Trump’s goal is to garner attention and generate publicity, he has succeeded. If his goal is really to be taken seriously as a possible presidential candidate, he is failing miserably, except with a small and deluded minority of the population. Astonishingly, a significant portion of Republicans (51%) don’t believe Obama was born in America. That portion of the population isn’t enough to win an election; Independent voters will be key, and they want no part of the birther silliness.
Nor should any thinking American.

Ms. Riche, PLEASE send me your e-mail address and I will help you PROVE that Donald Trump is on the right track! Obama is surely hiding something; you can agree with that, can't you?--Since Obama hasn't even shown his kindergarten record, his little league record, both of which would have a record of his birth place! If you don't want to wait on me:
GOOGLE: clearingthesmoke by Western Journalism;
GOOGLE: Hawaiian Official signs Affadavit: there is no birth certificate; by Wnd.com.
GOOGLE; Obama birth certificate PRIMER6, by Jerome Corsi, Wnd.com
AND PLEASE GO TO AMAZON.COM AND PRE-ORDER THE NEWEST INSIGHT INTO THIS ISSUE:
"Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not eligible to be President", coming out May 17th from amazon.com AND all the bookstores. Jerome Corsi, again, is the author and has been investigating this Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama since the 2004 Democratic Convention when Obama was introducing the Democratic Candidate John Kerry. Corsi also "demolished" him!!!
GOOGLE: The Case of Impeachment: Why Barack Obama must be impeached in order to save America; again by either Western Journalism or WorldNetDaily--maybe both, but be sure to pick the source that has a blue [PDF] on the left just the line above the source. This last source tells all about his corrupt actions and especially his "soft" touch on terroism and terrorists.
In Christ Jesus,
Nellie Austin

The Republican candidates are probably loving the Trump campaign. It'll help them distance themselves from the fringe. Remember Bill Clinton criticizing Sister Souljah for something or other? It was a "moment" in his campaign because it allowed him to stand up to extremism on his side of the aisle. I can guarantee you that Romney would love to debate Trump, because Mitt would look like a low-key working man. Huckabee would look like a moderate. Newt would look like a moral fellow.

Thanks for the info, Nellie, but I think I made it clear that the Birther stuff is beating a dead horse. Even Karl Rove said it's no longer an issue, and people need to let it go. Not that I think it's a good idea to do everything that Karl Rove says, but in this case, he's right!
Baronius, excellent analysis. Romney, as the nominal front runner, especially benefits from the attention on Trump, because it takes the heat off of him. The longer he can stay out of the intense spotlight, the better for him.

I rarely agree with Marco Rubio on anything, but props to him for suggesting that Trump back off : "Why are we talking about this?" he asked.
Although I think Trump is a despicable clown, I fear that his celebrity will give this "issue" new life and credibility. Disgusting porcine fool.

I wish George Soros would run.

wouldn't that be a step down in power for him? the man controls the world according to glenn beck.
7 - Clavos
Yeah, but now he only controls it financially; if he were prez he could control it by force too.

Maybe Trump needs to hook up with Soros. Then things might really happen for him.
