Why Donald Trump Is Surging in New Hampshire

According to a most recent poll, the unlikely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has surged into second place in New Hampshire. His 21 percent support trails only Mitt Romney's 26 percent and easily tops the 12 percent registered by Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee.

It was Huckabee's weak-kneed performance in the face of the "birther" questions that induced me to write on March 4, "In the Republican spirit of free enterprise, I would recommend my new book, Deconstructing Obama . . . . The first Republican candidate to educate himself on this issue, and to turn the tables on his tormentors, will likely be the next president of the United States."

Little did I expect that candidate to be Donald Trump, but he has done exactly as I had hoped, and, better yet, he has pulled his talking points from my book.

There are, of course, any number of sources Trump could have drawn from on the question of Obama's manufactured nativity story. On two other key points, however, Trump clearly drew his inspiration from Deconstructing Obama.

Most notably, as Trump told Laura Ingraham and others, former terrorist Bill Ayers wrote the Obama memoir, Dreams from My Father, which Trump correctly identifies as the foundation of Obama's "genius" myth.

Of note, too, Trump was the first public figure to draw a distinction between the lyrical Dreams and Obama's workman-like second book, The Audacity of Hope, published in 2006. Trump even hinted at its likely author, referring to Obama's wunderkind speechwriter, Jon Favreau, as "a guy that's like a sophomore in high school."

Forgive my insistence on the subject of Obama's legitimacy, and my own role therein, but I continue to face stiff resistance from the more respectable corners of the conservative media, as has anyone who has dared question the official Obama orthodoxy.

This is all a "distraction," we are told, an "irrelevance" even. Distraction or not, Donald Trump's surge has surely proved the subject's relevance.


Can you imagine Trump as president.  Here's what it would
sound like when he is confronting Kuhdaffy.

I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six shots, or only
five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement,
I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a red button
in the suitcase, the most powerful bomb in the world, and
would blow your country clean off the map, you've got to ask
yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?

RE: It’s his comments about our lack of respect, and China, and our overall lagging position in the world

Michael Savage seems to be a fan of Trump as he’s had Trump on his show several times.

One thing that Trump threatens to do is to INCREASE TARIFFS ON IMPORTS FROM CHINA. Savage applauds that too.

Yeah, that’ll do it... start a trade war with China.

agreed. I think Mr Trump has the best strategy going into the campaign season. He’s talking about the issues people care about, and bringing out other issues that no doubt people have been thinking about but are not willing to speak about out loud. I think Donald Trump is going to become a front-runner really quick. I’m not sure if I’d vote for him in the primary, but, he’s quickly showing himself to be a no nonsense conservative voice.

Gosh, I just wish Jack Cashill would move along and away from these distracting ineligibility themes.

To say these thing about a mulatto, even if is a Marxist, cannot be eligible for the office he holds because of a Kenyan father, cannot actually prove he was born in the USA, refuses to release any personal records, appoints Communists to his cabinet, whose best friend is a known terrorist, has been "retired" from the Illinois Bar, upon the application to which he lied, has a street-drug history, and is a loony-Left MF of the first water, could be construed as "racist."

Gosh, we just can't take that chance. Best to let him continue.
