Here is the hot, new theory as to why Donald Trump has been acting like such an ass lately:
Trump has no real roots in the Republican Party. He has been both a registered Republican and a registered Democrat. He has made campaign contributions to Republicans such as John McCain and George W. Bush and to Democrats such as Hillary Clinton and Rahm Emanuel.
“I go for the person, not necessarily the party,” he has said. “I mean, I vote for Republicans and I vote for Democrats.”
While not an unreasonable statement, it is not what Republicans usually look for in a GOP presidential nominee.
And while Trump’s personal life is not outrageous by today’s standards, he has been married three times and said in 2006, when he was 59, that his daughter, then 24, “does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” It probably does not meet the definition of traditional Republican family values, even if those values are sometimes breached more than observed.
So Trump, entertaining notions of running for the Republican nomination, desperately needed an entrée to what he perceives as the heart and soul of the party. And that entrée, Trump decided, was the scurrilous and discredited “birther” attack against President Barack Obama.
