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.
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.
I didn’t say the BC was the main issue. The BC is one of many issues – some you mention. What I did say is that the GOP is positioning itself to run another lack luster candidate — only to get their ass handed back to them.
My original comment was Trump tested the water and decided against it. He made an honest statement why he’s not running and to his credit he didn’t drag it out. You call him fraud.. your opinion. Not mine.
