Which is why he is in the lead. People are sick and tired of the "real" candidates.

Many are going to side with Trump over this which is unfortunate......as only Sanders and Paul are correct on this.....None of this was happening until we cleared the way for it.

The people are absolutely tired of "real politicians". The current state of affairs speaks for itself. We have a President the rest of the world considers a laughing stock, and people in general think Washington no longer represents their interests.

Why anyone would make argument for career status quo candidates is beyond me.

Trump is the summer fling, just wait until Fall when people REALLY get serious.
Trump is only ahead in the Fall because people are too busy with school and stuff to REALLY pay attention.
Rubio is surging.
Fiorina is surging.
Cruz is surging.
Bush...well, he's not surging but it's still WAY too early.
The polls don't count...except when they show Carson ahead of Trump, then they are spot on.
Kasich is the one to REALLY watch out for...when you are REALLY not watching out for Christie.
Trump ONLY had 20,000 people at his last rally.

And perhaps his own HBO comedy stand-up special.

Which, after his belt-buckle twisting, American/Iowan-bashing performance the other night, is quite a good possibility.

If you watch some of Trump's speeches to large crowds, he has a delivery that is identical to a good comedian's speech delivery. He is very very skilled at this. You can tell he enjoys it.

He was in this for one thing, or maybe two: his EGO and to add to his celebrityness. I posted several months ago that he was going to pull a Gary Hart and sabotage his candidacy eventually. Seems like he's on his way.
I really think he's doing these things to sabotage his candidacy. He never intended to win - he just wanted to run to throw out his ideas. Unexpectedly he found a following. He's going to be more and more outrageous in order to gain the Gary Hart level.

Trump doesn't want POTUS, he wants limelight.

If he's not a Clinton crony, that's the only other explanation.

The White House spokesman said that Trump has "disqualified" himself, so I guess that means he's out. Does that mean he can stop his campaign now? Apparently Obama gets to select who his successor is, not the American people.
