Even Karl Rove thinks this guy is a joke. The question is, why don't more people wise up to him? Running on the birther platform makes the Grand Old Party look like idiots. And I don't think party leaders like it one bit.

The Donald thinks the GOP is stupid

Here is the hot, new theory as to why Donald Trump has been acting like such an ass lately:

Trump has no real roots in the Republican Party. He has been both a registered Republican and a registered Democrat. He has made campaign contributions to Republicans such as John McCain and George W. Bush and to Democrats such as Hillary Clinton and Rahm Emanuel.

I think that he is a bored billionaire playing a huge joke on everyone. Fame feeds his ego and he is having a great time. If he derails the GOP it is even better.

Trump is a self-absorbed billionaire with nothing to do. He is just doing this for kicks/publicity to further is name-brand.

I think he's a joke, and if the GOP actually runs him we can say hello to another Obama term. If the GOP wants to run a business savvy candidate then Mitt Romney is a much more serious candidate.

Ronald Reagan was once a registered Democrat and a UNION member. What's your point? People change based on the current platform of the parties. A political party is just a mechanism to get elected.

I don't get him either. It doesn't matter if he runs as a Democrat, Republican or an Independent. He will never get the majority of Americans to vote him into office. He's a joke. There's no way he doesn't know that.

Maybe its just all about his ego. Maybe he's planning a reality show behind this?
