Donald Trump is not running for president.

"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency," Trump said in a statement Monday. "This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country," the real estate mogul and reality show star continued.

Story developing…

Woo Hoo! MITT ROMNEY ... YOUR TURN!!!!

[CPT Clay]

Could Myth Romney be next?

We could only hope!

That’s also why Sarah Palin will suffer with women voters - they are jealous of her looks and hate her for hers.

"Yet, whether a joke or not, Trump at least went out and sounded like a candidate, unafraid to criticize and unafraid of political correctness. Compare this to the leading "milk toast" RINO's whom are left. But, it's still early and we've yet to find out all the candidates.

However, if Gov. Palin stays away as the Media is hoping, Conservatives will likely be unrepresented yet again in another Presidential election. If it's to be another 1996 re-do, been there, done that."

You got that right!

If it's another 1996 OR 2008 re-do, they can count my write-in (at this point) for Bachmann.

I won't sit out the vote, too many other issues on the local ballot that must be addressed. But I will not vote for another McCain. The GOP can take that to the bank.

Not a peep out of him on the bc or the school records. Smells like he’s had a few contracts being questioned or something to take him off the trail.

How about Pippa Middleton for President?

When a nasty pop culture a-hole and despicable creature like Trump can gain traction on this conservative forum, I'd say we all better watch our backs.

Indeed - especially considering that Trump the clown isn't even a conservative in the first place.

Silly, juvenile name calling. If Ronald Reagan were alive today, the great man wouldn't piss on either of you if you were on fire.

Grow up.

Trump proved one thing—going directly at Obama (hard) works. Obama is vunerable on the issues, and if the GOP would go after Obama on the issues they will win.

That's it in a nutshell. Now will any Repugs learn?

[rxsid]

"If Trump doesn't pursue the clearly bogus

Why should Trump go after this issue when the other Republican candidates have shown no desire to question the BC? Why should he do the dirty work other candidates won't touch?

From where I'm sitting...because Barry is "bad for business." Basically, self interest.

Sorry, but you got suckered by the Donald in the first place. And your logic here is just as flawed as your logic in backing him. The raid to get Obama didn't just spring up because of Trump. It had been in the planning and rehersal stages for some time.

Quit being such a pouty puss about having been so wrong about the Donald.

[RockinRight]

They should both do the right thing and endorse...

*wait for it*

...Herman Cain.

Then explain why you can’t admit that Trump did harm Obama.

I know you anti-birthers hate Trump. Fine. So what? Who doesn’t? But why not admit he is a useful idiot that forced Obama to release the long form?

You can’t even do that. Much less see that he ordered the hit on OBL as a diversion to the damage Trump did.

That only leaves one explanation: You anti-birthers hate anyone and anything that makes your boy Barack look bad.

[dfwgator]

How about Pippa Middleton for President?

Well she is a British subject, just like Obama.

[EvasiveManuever]

If Mitch Daniels runs I will vote for him in a heartbeat.

The BUSH Candidate. The ESTABLISHMENT Candidate. The RINO Choice.

No thanks.

3rd party if Daniels is the nominee.
(2nd party I mean)

[dirtboy]

Boy, you Trumpettes aren’t even big enough to gracefully admit you were wrong about him.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Could it be that the two things were orchestrated to happen at the same time?

Sure seems like the plan to defuse the birther issue:

• Trump declares he's running for President and focuses on the birth certificate
• BO releases the fraudulent BC
• OBL killed
• Trump withdraws.

"You anti-birthers hate anyone and anything that makes your boy Barack look bad."

Knock it off.

[Lucky9teen]

My husband and I still say he shot his wad too early...

Tee hee... ;)

[dirtboy]

So why do you think Obama went and released the long form? You think it had NOTHING to do with Trump. You can’t possibly be that stupid.

I said nothing of the sort, you moron. You are the one insinuating that because I said that the bin Laden raid had nothing to do with Trump.
