*** No one in the field excites me right now: Conservative writer David Frum makes a similar point, describing the type of Republican voter who would find Trump appealing. What you want is a candidate who will take the fight to Obama. Really fight him. Mitt Romney? Hes no fighter. Hes a CEO, and youve had it with CEOs. Mike Huckabee? Seems like a nice guy, but if you want a sermon, youll go to church. Now this guy Donald Trump, hes kind of a blowhard. But he hates Obama just as much as you do. You dont take the birth certificate thing seriously, but if it annoys the liberals, what the hell. (By the way, the latest New York Times/CBS poll finds that 47% of Republican voters believe, incorrectly, that Obama was born in an another country.) Another component fueling Trump right now: a lack of enthusiasm for the entire GOP field right now. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) summed it up in an interview with the AP: "I'll tell you, right now: No one in the field excites me right now."
First Read - 2012: What Donald Trump says about the GOP
At first I thought the base of the GOP was dumb enough to put Caribou Barbie on the ticket for 2012. Are they now seriously going to vote for the Donald?
