“So far is Palin the only potential candidate who has stood with him on the reasonableness of his request and his desire to have the questions answered?”

Last night on Fox News Justice with Judge Jeanine, IIRC, Michele Bachmann echoed almost exactly Sarah Palin’s support for Trump's “Why not just show the BC” version of being a "birther."

I can't find the video yet...

That makes 2 then. The 2 women who have been disparaged by both the “establishment” and the media (ever notice how those seem to go hand in hand most the time?).

The men are totally AWOL.

That may be what Trump wants people to see. He may be stepping out and taking the first bullets to see who will stand up and follow him into war and who will stay at home curled up under a nice cozy media blanket. That’s what we voters need to see, in a world where anybody can SAY they will fight the giant and once we’ve elected them and can see whether they walk the walk, it’s too late. Maybe Trump is providing an opportunity for people to walk the walk BEFORE people have to vote for them. He’s broken the silence. He’s made the issue prominent. Now we’ll see who walks the walk, and who cowers in a corner.

I think Trump knows we need to see drastic action to repair the damage that’s been done. I think he’s saying his decision to run or not depends on whether there’s anybody else who is willing and able to do what needs to be done. He’s stirring the pot to see what fat and skin floats to the top to be skimmed off and what substance remains.

So far it seems like Palin and Bachmann are the ones who haven’t floated to the top to be skimmed off. Romney, Huck, and Pawlenty all floated to the top immediately with just a tiny bit of media heat underneath the burner. I don’t know about Herman Cain.

I think if there’s solid meat in that pot, Trump may decide he doesn’t need to run but can throw his weight behind the person who can do what needs to be done. It can’t be somebody who will melt whenever the media even threatens to look crosswise at them.

At the same time, if Trump’s influence can make sure the AZ law takes effect, Obama’s own ineligibility may clear him out of the way as the democratic candidate. If the dems don’t come up with somebody else they may be without a candidate at all, and whichever lady is chosen to represent the R’s will enter the presidency, with Trump as much as opening the door of her car for her like any gentleman would do.

I could be reading Trump all wrong. I can’t even see the video where he speaks so I could DEFINITELY be wrong.

I hope I’m not wrong on this one though. I hope Trump is serving the country in this way.

Trump has provided some air cover for Palin and Bachmann to say again it’s ok to question about Obama past history and birth certificate.
