Breaking: Trump won’t run
Hotair ^ | May 16,2011 | Ed Morrissey

Does this mean that Donald Trump’s media tour was nothing more than a self-serving publicity stunt? Perish the thought:

Donald Trump announced Monday that he will not run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Despite months of speculation and a brief pop in the polls, Trump said in a statement that he was “not ready to leave the private sector.”

Nothing proved that more than his oxygen-sucking clown act in pandering to conspiracy theorists. Did anyone seriously think that Trump was serious about running for the nomination?

Hardest hit — Charles Krauthammer?

“3rd party disaster alert!!!”

Why do you make things up? You didn’t read the article as short as it was....

“He said: ‘Trump said in a statement that he was “not ready to leave the private sector.’”

I think someone got to Trump. He looks worse now so I don’t think that “pretending” like he was going to run was going to help him, it only makes him look bad.

The only person that has really stood up for us has gone quiet, that scares me, something is up...

Every article posted has quoted Trump as saying he won't run for the Republican nomination. Maybe I'm attuned by exposure to the Clintons to read more into such precise and unnecessary wording than is intended. We'll see.

In any case, we should all be alert to the 'rats use of phoney 3rd party (and fake tea party) straw men at the national and local levels to draw off opposition support in favor of weak 'rat candidates. They've been doing it since the time of TR and Wilson and it is an institutionalized strategy on their part.

I did not get the “hardest hit - Charles Krauthammer” comment.

He was right on the money with Trump. Said he was a clown just looking for some marketing time. Turns out he was right. Maybe he meant that Charles was only hardest hit because he lost someone to have some fun with. Anyone else get the reference?

I hope he continues speaking his mind. He sure makes tidewaves.

I love it.

And Trump got fooled by the newly forged Birth Certificate.

Actually the question was rhetorical, I was being facetious.

Thank GOD.

Maybe now the libtards I work with will stop calling him “the Republican frontrunner.”

As if!

The real front Republican front runner isn’t on the radar yet.

I wish I could have been here earlier, FRiend.

I could have warned about pack-animal-zombies looking for BRAINS.

If you say she isn't the Conservative One in all ways and will win 2012 by a landslide you are a left-wing intruder and will be punished.
