"Look, I don't know what his intent is, but he's infuriating Hispanics, the very group of voters the GOP is looking to make gains with in 2016," said one party official who asked not to be named. "You could just be an egomaniac running his mouth, but he's starting to look like a guy hand-delivered by the Democrats."
Since the 1980s, Trump has contributed $490,000 to Republicans, according to OpenSecrets.org. But he's donated at least $330,000 to Democrats -- including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid and Anthony Wiener, the husband of Hillary's top aide, Huma Abedin.
The tycoon last showed up in 2012 to talk about President Obama's birth certificate, garnering plenty of coverage by the mainstream media news outlets (In one May 2012 interview on CNN, Wolf Blitzer said to him: "Donald, you're beginning to sound a little ridiculous, I have to tell you.").
Republicans had long moved past the questions that swirled around Obama's birth. But the issue was brought back to the fore by Trump -- and Mitt Romney was then asked repeatedly about the "Republican" stance that the party didn't believe Obama was born in America.
Now, Trump has declared his candidacy for the presidency (although in his announcement speech, in which he said "I" 195 times, he didn't once declare he was running for the Republican nomination).

Better question: Is the GOPe a Democratic plant?

Well, lets see. Trump and Cruz agree on every single issue. I think we can safely say that Trump is not advancing Democrat ideas. Is he lying? I don’t think Trump would destroy himself like that.
Propel Water has electrolytes.
I don’t think so although Trump might be (or at least might as well be) a Martian.
Ha! You said it.
Is Jebber a Dem potted pant?

Curl wants to draw attention to his new site.
Dang “Plant”. ;-) Sticky key.
As does BRAWNDO, it has what plants like
jeb is a maggot.
Trump agrees with Jeb-on every single issue, expect Jeb- isn’t as peo-Muslim. Bush hasn’t come out and said people need to stop taunting Muslims.
Better question: Is the GOPe a Democratic plant?
As Ronald Reagan once said, Trust but verify.
The GOP does not need any help losing elections, with or without Trump.
They have a history of it all by themselves.
“Look, I don’t know what his intent is, but he’s infuriating Hispanics, the very group of voters the GOP is looking to make gains with in 2016,” said one party official who asked not to be named. “You could just be an egomaniac running his mouth, but he’s starting to look like a guy hand-delivered by the Democrats.”
That is as far as I read. A Republican who actually believes that it will be the Hispanics who will drag their sorry asses across the line November 2016 is not worth reading about. As Ann Coulter has often pointed out, Republicans who think that going after the Hispanic vote is a winning strategy, are barking up the wrong tree.
Funny. If Trump is a disruptor it is backfiring. This is an issue the GOP base has wanted to be dealt with for decades and the GOPe has been blowing sunshine into our sphincters the whole time. Now they have to answer to us on this. I can’t imagine why the Rats would want to see the GOP base pawing the ground, snorting, and carrying pitchforks and torches. If they sent Trump on a mission they sure screwed up.
