Too many just assume that it's the birther issue that has attracted people to Trump. I expect it's far more the financial, one-sided trade arrangements, unemployment and general economic weakness.
I suspect that if Trump only talked about economic issues and never mentioned the birther issue no one outside of The Apprentice audience would even know he was running. We've got 20 potential candidates and all of them are talking about the economic issues. How come the circus clown is the only one drawing a crowd?
