The people who thought Trump was seriously going to run for president are the same people who secretly wish Vegas would allow wagering on WWE fights.

It didn't matter at all about having no political experience, that he's filed bankruptcy numerous times, and was otherwise a circus sideshow, just the fact that he bashed Obama made him a hero to many on the right. Most sane people knew he was a joke on a huge PR stunt from the beginning, but many gullible people thought he was a hero. So the question are many on the right easily mislead?
How many did he have supporting him ?

Gosh op, how many times must you be TOLD?

When only 43% of poll respondents are SURE the president was born in the US, which means that 57% don't believe it/are not sure, that indicates MORE than just those on the right had doubts.

Thank god the democrat-in-hiding, masquerading as a conservative, The Donald, is OUT.

Well sweetie, I am not a Republican. I am a true conservative and I am registered as Independent, something you would not understand, you know, thinking for myself instead of relying on MSNBC to get my talking oders like you.

Well, I guess "the right" was not dumb enough to vote for a community organizer with no executive experience who has destroyed the treasury and the economy. If I had done that, I would be embarassed.

Did people actually think Trump would run.....and WIN?

He did a great service to this country and the millions who did not believe obama - he forced the fraud in chief to produce that which he fought tooth and nail to keep hidden...but ONLY after the polls showed the issue was hurting him badly.

Birth certificate out, Bin Laden dead, ...

Any tricks left for October 2012?
