Quote Of The Day
The increasingly crazy and racist Donald Trump:
“I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks. But unfortunately, it seems that, you know, the numbers you cite are very, very frightening numbers.”
The frightening part he’s referring to is Obama’s high approval among African-Americans. I assume he’s not troubled by high approval of white politicians. I wonder if he realizes that every African-American voter has voted for white politicians many times, but the reverse isn’t true?
Rumor is that PPP will release a poll today showing Donald Trump in front of the GOP pack.

Can we get a poll up? Steve Benen believes this is all a giant put-on by Trump, whose past political history was closer to ‘centrist Democrat’ than ‘raving looney.’ So whaddya think he’ll say on his ‘formal announcement’:
a) Thanks, I’m filing my candidate papers tomorrow;
b) Thanks for the compliment, but I really have decided not to run;
or
c) I deliberately ran the craziest campaign I could imagine, and the crazier and more offensive I got the better my numbers rose. People, isn’t it time to tell a party that contains such nuttiness that “YOU’RE FIRED!”
“The Blacks”?
“The Blacks”?
Seriously? Somebody PLEASE tell The Donald that running for President ≠ running for The Grand Wizard.
This may be a giant put-on by Trump, but doesn’t this put-on just illustrate the GOP’s base problem right now? The only way to get past these people is to join them in their craziness and racism.
Shorter Trump: The guy who brings my car around seems to like me.
Shouldn’t that be “TEH Blacks”?
I think he is going to run, but his motivation is not to actually run and win the President. I think he is a stalking horse for the GOP Establishment to suck all the crazy air out of the room.
I dont know I just heard on MSNBS that he scored number one on one of the national pools. What are the Republicans going to do now ?
Polls…Polls
What will the Christian Evangelicals do? How many times has he been married? When he when bankrupt, how will they feel about that? Running the guvmnt like a Casino? He has no government experience, no foreign relations experience…is this Bush 2 coming up. I dont think he is serious. He is more worried about NBC firing his ass. If he does get fired how does that bode with voters. I think he is a bombastic, loudmouth throwing himself to the teabagger, birther wolves hoping for some traction, I think its all smoke and mirrors.
I think he just enjoys the publiity
