Reality television host and developer Donald Trump has risen to a tie for first among potential GOP presidential contenders, according to a new national poll.

Nineteen percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said in the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey that they are most likely to back Trump for the Republican presidential nomination. That put him in a tie at the top of the list with former Arkansas governor and 2008 candidate Mike Huckabee, who also received 19 percent support.

If the rest of the field doesn’t have the hickory, and show it soon, at least in the safe space created by Trump, he’s only going to garner more of the attention and support. But expect the GOP establishment to still push for Romney in circumlocutions that basically come back to that he’s a Republican that the Democrats could like, of all things.

This "poll" would have more credibility if it hadn't been conducted by the Communist News Network (CNN) and reported by SeeBS.

It's funny how the left leaning organizations push the GOP in a direction. That's how we got the likes pf Bob Dole and Juan McLame.

Shows that the Obama Eligibility issue is huge....and if the GOP and GOP Media does not start getting serious about the issue (including stopping the attacks on Birthers)....the GOP will be slaughtered in 2012

If you are not an Obama Birther....you will be an Obama Supporter.

DONALD TRUMP:
I am saying I want to see the birth certificate. It’s very simple. I want to see the birth certificate. How come his own family doesn’t know which hospital he was born in? How come– forget about birth certificates. Let’s say there’s no birth certificate. How come in the hospital itself, okay? This is one of the…in the hospital itself, there’s no records of his birth. In other words, it doesn’t say how much they paid, where is the doctor, here’s your room bill. You know, all the...

MEREDITH VIEIRA:
You’ve been privy to all of this to know this?

DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re talking.

MEREDITH VIEIRA:
You have people now out there searching– I mean, in Hawaii?

DONALD TRUMP:
Absolutely. And they cannot believe what they’re finding. And I’m serious–

You cannot even get a drivers license or marriage license with the certification of live birth Hussein presented.

Here is the difference:

I’d vote for Trump any day but NEVER for Romney or Huckabee.
Look into Huckabee’s days with the Clintons. A criminal like they are.

And if you watch the video to end, note how Lauer et al try to laugh off Trump like he is some fool. What an a-hole.

Transcript from Rush Limbaugh:

RUSH: "Okay, gonna try to get Trump on one day this week. We should be able to do that. Actually, you know, I think Trump might actually be the real illegal alien here. I mean, you say what you will, but he is once again actually doing a job that most Americans wouldn't touch. He fits the bill in that regard."
