Donald Trump's 'birther' antics means he has 'zero chance' to be president: David Plouffe
NY Daily News ^ | April 10th 2011 | BY Lukas I. Alpert

The White House dissed Donald Trump Sunday as a "sideshow" with "zero chance" of becoming president, while defending a last-minute budget deal as a necessary compromise.

Chief advisor David Plouffe unleashed a barrage of stinging comments on Trump, who has recently trafficked in fringe conspiracy theories about Obama's place of birth while taunting America with hints of a presidential run.

"There is zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people," Plouffe told ABC's "This Week with Christiane Amanpour."

"I saw Donald Trump kind of rising in the polls and given his behavior and spectacle the last couple of weeks, I hope he keeps rising," Plouffe added.

"There may be a small part of the country that believes these things, but mainstream Americans think it's a sideshow," he said. "That's not leadership, that's kind of sideshow behavior."

OMG if that can be proved ...You know I was wondering what Trump meant when he said “I have people down there (in Hawaii) and it’s unbelievable what they are finding”....”finding” not “found”. Could this be the “ing” he is talking about??

Oh, I don't know about that, Pouffe. After all, the "American people" hired that moron Obozo, showing that we're capable of just about any stupidity.

I am in mainstream America and I think Trump is right on. Obama should be impeached, tried for fraud and treason, and thrown into a SuperMax for the rest of his miserable life.

I am starting to think we have a better chance of seeing Kerry’s 180.

I’m really getting sick of these raving syphilitic “plouffeters” mouthing off like they have any credibility outside of a San Francisco bath house.

His chances have always been zero. It has nothing to do with his birther credentials.

Right. Only people who bend over for the left and endorse Hussein have any chance of being elected! After all, look how well Miss McCain did!!

Oh! they are now demonizing Mr. Trump as they’ve been demonizing Governor Palin. So he is a threat to them! Go Donald! Go Sarah!

The libs are so easy to read. We can't go wrong with either. As of today I Trump seems more electable.

Just keep talking about it. Sooner or later Obama will have to answer.

He does not have to answer unless it's put in the election requirements to see such. However. it's strange to see states one by one drop this primary requirement.

And the Tea Party was only astroturf.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Not saying Trump has a chance of being POTUS. But his chances of NOT being elected don’t have anything to do with asking simple questions about Obama’s birth circumstances.

BTW, I love this “why is Trump focusing on this? Aren’t there more important issues” meme . . . what a crock!

Who cares if this were even the most stupid issue in the world-—do these yahoos really think that Trump can’t talk birther questions and chew gum at the same time?

Mr. Trump is capable, I think, of handling a multitude of issues at once, including large and small ones (depending on which category one puts birther issues).

And isn’t that the point?

So are you saying if its a choice between Trump and Obama in Nov 2012... you would vote for Obama?

That’s pretty bizarre.

Interesting that everybody else has no problem producing tons of documents, but THE ONE can't even produce a real BC.

My sincerest condolences on the passing of your husband.
