Well ‘threatening’ to run as Independent pretty much destroys whatever Trump’s hunt turns up. Trump has not had to spend a dime on all this campaign publicity over the past life of the current president. So I am NOT seeing this as pure and a good deed that was initially presented.
We have a big enough bully in the White House right now, we do not need to switch riders. Questioning the hidden documentation of a person’s origins does nothing to demonstrate ‘conservative’ principles.
I totally agree with that, which is why I stated that I was not particularly sure Trump could be trusted. He definitely has other motives, and they could range from the benign (free publicity) to the nefarious (the second-coming of Ross Perot). However, he has definitely provided the most serious backing for the Birther movement since the issue first came up. Far more than Orly, to use a loony example, could have done (and I am so certain she was either crazy or pulling for the other side). With Trump, the issue simply will not go away that easily. However, as a Conservative, he is not even a small ‘c’ conservative.
