"A Donald Trump-Mitt Romney showdown in New Hampshire
Looks like Donald Trump's win-the-birthers strategy is working in New Hampshire and thats coming at the expense of front-runner Mitt Romney.
Romney leads the first-in-the-nation primary contest in a multitude of scenarios involving difference candidates, often by as much as a 2-1 margin, according to a survey out Tuesday from Public Policy Polling. But when Trump gets into the race, Romneys edge shrinks to 6 points, 27 percent to 21 percent.
If Trump isn't included in the survey, Romney draws 32 percent of the vote, with Mike Huckabee a distant second at 15 percent.
The difference is the birthers: The Democratic polling shop found that Trump leads Romney among those who doubt President Barack Obamas citizenship 22 percent to 21 percent. A previous PPP survey found that 42 percent of New Hampshire GOPers don't believe Obama was born in America.
The survey of 384 Republican primary voters in the state has a sampling error of plus or minus 5 percent."

Well, now you’re talking! :-D
Trump is a capitalist, I could only imagine how much money he lost w/ this thing running our country."
I tend to agree. It would mean a serious pay cut and much time away from his businesses that have made him a billionaire.
“Personally, just MHO, I think he is doing it for Sarah so she doesnt have to get her hands dirty. He sees, as we all do, what she has been and is being put through already.”
You may be on to something. Don’t forget that bigwig meeting she had in Palm Beach last fall.
Hey, I’m just passing along what I heard. Imus asked o’reilly who he thing could beat the usurper (my word) and o’reilly said the only one is romney.
Funny, no mention of Sarah though.....
Trump is pro-life, against gay marriage, and pro-Second Amendment.
Good enough for me.
As for the divorces? Well, as I recall, Jane Wyman wasn’t the First Lady. That bridge has already been crossed.
HE’s running running running. He’ll announce in June/July.
The Leprechaun has always been a Romneybot.
One of the reasons I have nothing but contempt for Ted Baxter.
I don’t believe it. It one of those things that I MUST see to believe.
If he does, mark this post. I won’t take offense if you come back and say “told ya so”!!
I’ll eat my crow like a good girl =).....but I don’t think I will!
Worked great for them in 2010...right?
Bravo!
The only one of the possible GOP candidates I detest more than Willard is Elmer Gantry and his sycophantic so-cons.
Not voting is a much better option IMO.
Exactly. We all know how much Trump would have to give up to be POTUS.
Rush says it all the time.....doesn’t want to take the pay cut, lol.
How true! I don't think The Donald cares one way or the other what the press says about him. He certainly doesn't need the publicity. It's refreshing to see someone who says what they think and especially when he brings up the BC!!
What “bigwig” meeting? Was Trump there?
Sorry to sound stupid but I can’t keep up with all this information. I am after all just a nobody who clings to my Bible and is too stupid to see how brilliant the usurper truly is.
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. - Mark Twain (1904).
I had to stop watching him because of the rude treatment he commits upon his guests.
One of my biggest pet peeves is interrupting someone while they’re speaking to get in their own stupid know it all opinion.
If Trump gets in, he better be in it to win it as the GOP candidate, and not do a Ross Perot. He is the only one with any balls and is taking it to Obama, and I don’t care if he has had 20 wives. How many times a person has been married is not an issue.
In another thread, so many I can’t remember which, Trump said he has no intention of forming a 3rd party.
