Trump is winning in the polls for the same reason Abernathy won the election as governor of Hawaii: He is looking into Obama's birth records. Just about everybody wants to see Obama's certificate, not just birthers. Libs want to shut up the birthers, many are wondering what Obama is hiding, some are just dying to know what looks like a coverup. Curiosity, mostly. Trump is asking questions that everyone wants the answers to.
BTW, "Media Malpractice" is playing on Netflix instant.
Trump is winning at the polls because there is nobody of clear winning potential, including romney, newt, palin and bachmann.
