Do you think more people will believe the birther stuff

[fried eggs]

Now that Trump keeps insisting that something is wrong? It really bothers me that he keeps trying to associate Obama with the words con and scam.

[cali]

1. I doubt it. I think that number has reached its upper limit.

[Drale]

2. He's going to cry when he is destroyed in the primaries

[tridim]

3. I don't think Trump believes it.

He's pandering to the teabaggers because he wants their vote.

[LiberalAndProud]

11. ^ pandering to the teabaggers, yes.

But he isn't going to run. I'd bank on that bet. This is a 'look at me' gig. His t.v. ratings are going up. That's the end game.

[atreides1]

4. Well if they do

Then I'm really hosed...

Place of Birth:Honolulu, Hawaii
Year of Birth: 1959

[gateley]

5. Didn't I read somewhere that Trump had sent investigators to Hawaii? If they

do their job, this just might put an end to it once and for all. For some, anyway.

[Democracyinkind]

6. It's just marketing

... and it's not marketing for his "campaign". Any mind that is swayed by that Jerk wouldn't vote dem anyway.

[NoGOPZone]

7. No nt.

[Taverner]

8. Repeat a lie over and over

And people start believing it

"The moon landing was a hoax," "Sarah Palin is the second coming of Esther," "America is Broke"

are all good examples

[jezebel]

10. Yep. The uninformed out there will start believing any crap that is spewed enough times. nt

[louis-t]

9. He will expose what a joke he is and

hopefully, be the catalyst that guides the repug party into a 40 year minority. I saw him insist to Meredith V. that "Obama's grandmother says she witnessed his live birth in Kenya". I assume he is speaking of the grandmother who is no longer living and can't dispute what this dumbass says. Trump is jockeying for position and is gaining ground. I just wonder where the birther crap will take him.

[MatthewStLouis]

12. I figured Trump was smarter than that.

I don't know the guy very well, but I guess he's proof you don't have to be that smart to become a rich b_stard. You only have to be sufficiently greedy. I suppose the words "con" and "scam" must be from some right wing talking points.

[emulatorloo]

13. His use of "con" and "scam" are pre-emptive strikes. Accuse Obama before somebody accuses Trump

of being a scammer and a con-artist. (Which he is, don't you think?)

(I don't think he believes a word he is saying. If I was Ivanka, Eric or Donald Jr I would be mortified by dads BS)

[H2O Man]

14. No.

I think that, as the media again focuses some attention on this, two things will happen: {1} less people will question, much less believe, the after-birthers' crap; and {2} more people will find Trump offensive and pathetic.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Oh, yeah, the GOP has a winner, there.

They might as well change their party slogan to "We have absolutely zero constructive ideas about how to actually run the country. Oh, and Jesus rode a dinosaur."

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Your concern, however, is noted.

Thank you for your concern.

[sufrommich]

18. I think it's a legitimate question. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Most questons are legitimate.

"WARZ TEH BARF CARTIFIRCRAT" questions, however, are the definition of bullshit diversion. Am I concerned that Donald Trump is talking about this? No, actually, I think the best possible thing would be for the GOP to try to run on this "issue". We'd probably get enough of a landslide to win back the house on the coattails.

[sufrommich]

22. Well, I like your thinking. Although considering the spokesman

for the birthers up until now has been Orly Taitz,I'd say The Donald jumping on the bandwagon is a pretty big step up. In terms of popular culture recognition,Trump isn't exactly a nobody.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Isn't Trump also pro-choice?

that's game over, right there.

[blondeatlast]

29. A billionaire who can't avail himself of reasonably decent looking hair is not a step up, IMHO. It's

more comedy that writes itself.

[Life Long Liberal]

28. I think the talk will bring some people out of the woodwork. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

30. That's good. Someone needs to fix the cobbler's shoes while he's asleep.

[Life Long Liberal]

33. +1

[sufrommich]

17. Probably. Unfortunately,Trump isn't seen as an ideologue by

regular viewers of his TV shows.

[blogslut]

20. "Con" and "Scam"

Sounds like Donald Trump.

[blondeatlast]

21. Worrying about what Donald Trump does is a ridiculous waste of precious time. nt

[defendandprotect]

23. Let's pay more attention to what Obama is actually doing --

however, I have no doubt that should Obama become less willing to deliver benefits

to elites/wealthy that they could USE the issue to move him out --

power in America now is in the hands of fascists --

[Heidi]

24. When you say "bothers," do you mean "concerns"? (nt)

[ismnotwasm]

25. No

The people who believe that stuff in the first place are kind of crazy. Trump is a very strange person and does the right no favors touting his weirdo bullshit.

Of course I thought the same thing about Palin, so who knows?

[AsahinaKimi]

27. I think since people are starting their election run...

They have to start flinging their mud now...

[Dappleganger]

31. LOL, no.

[southernyankeebelle]

32. Trump is full of shit up to his eyeballs. I read somewhere this morning that 4 out of 5

people hate him. He is just a distraction. He has an ego as big if not bigger than Palin. He has no chance. He doesn't believe the birther crap and show no action. He isn't disciplined enough to be president. The religious right won't vote for a serial cheater who leaves wives and remarries. It ain't going happen.
