He has always intended to run.
Well, if Palin goes to share pizza and chat,and Newt brings in Trump to pose for a Newt Ad in Iowa perhaps to lose the stigma of his ad with Pelosi[?], Hannity who is always talking Trump this and Trump that, says he is honored Trump is available to him while the rest of the media is still down in the lobby...both he and Newt then go to meet with Trump. Huntsman courted him early on [book],even when asked about VPs, Bachmann said she had him on list. Let's not leave out Rush who admires the guy and recently played golf and "talked" and always giggles when Trump takes on the MSM. So who is the person sought out by the Right for advice, strategy, favors, endorsements? Rove, meanwhile is seeing no invite to this Republican In Crowd Love Fest and he is expressing his dislike of Donald.
Trump does not shy from the media-he does not back down to any scrutiny and he is a smart guy-why else would they Need to be validated by him. He shook up Obama's BC controversy for so long that even Obama had to finally answer to Trump.
And that is just on the Right...
