People tell me "Wow, Donald Trump is crazy with this whole birther thing." I just laugh in response. Donald Trump knows exactly what he's doing. People who dismiss him as a fool are themselves deluded. He is as dangerous as a crane magnet in a steel knife foundry. He's defining himself as the birther candidate, and that alone makes him dangerous.
Donald Trump is a salesman. He's made his billions selling things. He knows that his path to the Presidency is a job of selling Donald Trump. He's selling birtherism as a mainstream Republican value. There's a reason for that: Birtherism is a mainstream Republican value.

Look at that. Three our of four Republicans have some doubt about Obama's status as a US citizen. That CNN poll was released today. Donald Trump knows his audience well. When Trump says "Hey, I have some doubts about Obama's birth certificate", he is reflecting the opinion of a vast majority of Republican voters that share his doubts.
And Trump's not the only one cashing in on this. Jerome Corsi is due out with another anti-Obama Birther book in May. Corsi, like Trump, is betting on oodles of free publicity from the Village. Already, ABC News is asking if the birther issue is enough to make Trump not only a serious candidate for President, but a winning one.
The man's crazy like a FOX, and he's going to ride this idiot birther wave all the way. And yes, Republicans really are this stupid...well, 75% of them, at least.
New tag: The Donald.
When has a Republican actually paid a political price for too much Obama Derangement Syndrome?
