“Trump proved one thing—going directly at Obama (hard) works. Obama is vulnerable on the issues, and if the GOP would go after Obama on the issues they will win.”

Absolutely correct!

Gingrich may have his baggage and shoot himself in the foot, but his most recent attacks on Obama have almost seemed to be directed at out-Trumping Trump's attacks!

Trump _has_ shown that you can attack Obama head-on and beat back the racist counter-attacks.

Obama hides behind his “nice likable guy just like you” persona, but Trump did show that this can be pierced and I hope others will follow because the Obama opposition assassination team is as deadly as Seal Team 6!

GOP candidates won't survive if they don't launch preemptive, inilateral, politically lethal attacks directly at Obama starting NOW.

Anyone who thinks the whole deal was about anything other than getting more publicity (which equals more $) is an idiot of the first order. As with Newt - it's all ego, any ‘principles’ (even ones we like or find useful) are merely coincidence.

Trump rose immediately in the polls the minute he went after obama.

Due largely to Trump's name recognition, nothing more.

He forced him to produce yet another phoney birth certificate.

And wow, Obama really is reeling from that. Not.

Trump did more in his brief flirting with the idea of running than any of the so-called professional politicians have done to date. There isn't one in the present pack than can beat obama and that must remain the clear objective. Without Trump stirring the pot up, we can look forward to another lack luster GOP performance.

Gawd, the GOP can run against Obama on jobs, $4 gasoline, Obamacare and runaway government spending, but you think if someone isn't harping on the BC they're gonna lose.

Yeah, sure.

No. But if there was any earth shattering evidence it would have been planted all over Drudge when the book was released.

And even then ignored like WalpinGate, Obama making two holiday recess appointments making NBP’s go away. And all of the stonewalling and abuse of power and providing aid and comfort to terrorists complete with miranda rights Obama has done.

And one of the issues is his criminal fraud/non-eligibility. That’s what Trump hammered especially. It made him popular because many, many Americans distrust Zero and think he isn’t or may not be eligible. Any GOP candidate who is conservative, principled AND HAS GUTS and hammers Zero with everything - including the lack of NBC status - will win.

If all GOP candidates are eunuchs and nice guys and “Obama loves America” etc they will lose so big that it will be the biggest loss in US history. Not that so many will vote for Zero, but so many - like me - will refuse to vote for another middle of the road compromising elitist who refuses to fight hard.

You Trumpettes

You should prolly quit calling people Trumpettes. I'm thinking 99.9% of the FReepers whom showed support for Trump did so on the fact that Trump was man enuff to go after Obama and his minions and not out of any love for the man.

Drop with the Knee jerk reactions. I fought for this country and your ability to make an ass out of yourself as a fundamental right.

It's time to go on to something useful, like win this election in 2012. To keep on droning about the BC now makes anyone doing so, look like a complete moron.

Well, there’s no joy in being right about this. Trump made a mockery of the electoral process, by using it purely as publicity for his television show. What a cynical fraud the man is. We have tremendous problems and all he can think about is his own enrichment.

It’s pretty simple:

I don’t like Obama.

I don’t like people who like Obama.

I don’t like this person.

Therefore this person must like Obama.

Duh...

IIRC, public figures and news organizations who received advanced copies weeks ago (so they could prepare stories in advance) agreed to an embargo until tomorrow.

News outlets typically observe these agreements and don't try to out-scoop each other by leaking stuff in advance.

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Yes they can run against BO on these issues, but what are the solutions they propose? Do they have the experience and the political will to make the tough calls? How are the candidates going to bypass the media and get their message across to the public, while running for office or is they get elected, after taking office? If elected how will the new president deal with congress and the senate? I would really like to hear SOMEONE, ANYONE, start talking.

Apprentice is _ending_! If Trump ran for office he wouldn't be in it next season so how would a Kos boycott affect him? While totally predictable, I think Trump concluded that he couldn't win the primaries and be the nominee after a parade of folks who lost money on his Trump-branded condos were paraded on 60 Minutes.

No.

I didn't think so, since you also post nonsense like this:

Obama's BC and everything he has done corrupt in office so far...

Obama could appear on TV and say in perfect arabic he has infiltrated the Presidency and he will stand with radical muslims as he eats a LIVE baby and he won't resign nor would the media call for him to. BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD ALL BE RACISTS!

So who are you hoping will run and beat Obama?

Spare me. We had a fair number of people running around FR trying to tell everyone that Trump was the guy for the GOP nomination in 2012.

_______________________________________________

Look at the current GOP field. Everyone one of them is a mirror image of John McCain. How?

All of them want to ignore this birth certificate “distraction” (Palin’s words) and focus on “the real issues”. Well guess what? That’s exactly what we did in 2008, and we all know where THAT got us.

Are we that afraid of Obama, the MSM, and RINO’s like Rove that we dare not attack Obama on BC issues?
