"If Trump is not on Obama’s payroll, he’s working for free, and I don’t think he’s that stupid"OK, Trump fans, time to cut The Donald loose. I like how he injects some real talk into the political discussion, especially in the realm of international trade and diplomacy. But he's also a Hollywood blowhard who will say anything to get attention.
So who does he really think is the worst president? Obama? Bush? Carter? He's claimed all three were at different times, and he's called Bush "evil." Really... Hitler was evil, Mao was evil, but George W. Bush?
And while his careening into the Obama citizenship sideshow is gaining him some FReeper fans, it is not presidential. Savvy pols have attack dogs to do the dirty work. There's plenty in Obama's past that is questionable or mysterious, and I don't begrudge people investigating it, but that's not what a presumptive presidential candidate should be focusing on. We need to fire The Donald before his extreme unseriousness sinks the entire party, which is just now finding its feet again.
Donald Trump: A Ross Perot for the New Millennium
Trump is not Obama’s worst nightmare—He’s the GOP’s guarantee of failure in 2012. His hinting at a third-party run reveals his "I wanna be president" stunt to be nothing more than an egomaniacal road trip. The man is good at self-promotion, but he's got no chance to get elected president.
Entertaining a third-party run is an automatic disqualifier
He’s just told us that if he doesn't get the GOP nomination he will not honor the rules of the game and back the winner, so he’s disqualified. Supporting him is a waste of your money and voting for him in a primary is a vote for Barack Obama. A Trump third-party foray will be a march of fools that reelects Barack Obama.

Fuzzy Slippers has the best anti-Trump post in Right Blogistan. She uncovers some convincing disqualifiers, like the traitorous Trump giving money to Harry Reid, when Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle was up in the polls. She also links to an article describing how The Donald bribed the government to declare imminent domain in order to kick an old lady out of her house so he could build a parking lot.
If you’re looking for a real businessman to vote for, drop the infatuation with self-promoting wheeler dealers and go for a serious man who has the education, background and experience to be president:
Vote for Herman Cain
