Does Donald Trump Belong in the 2012 Presidential Race?

I thought the governor of Hawaii said that he would clear all of this up by proving that Obama's birth certificate existed. The results were that the Governor himself could not find it so now the media reverts back to some Obama henchman that claims she touched it two years ago and it does exist. I used to deplore the birthers but now i am on board, Obama may have been born here but he certainly is hiding something and the evidence is overwhelming for anyone with a brain. This of course explains why liberals still defend him at every turn.
I will vote for Trump for this reason alone.

sue, for wacky entertainment value--he's right up there with charley sheen.
The Donald's substantive policy: "America, WINNING!" end of substantive policy discussion.
he's sucking the air out of romney's campaign already, with his sideshow diversion that keeps a chunk of the fringe right distracted from any serious issues.
but keep that crazy coming: it's win-win for the President.

Anybody who actually believes that The Combover Con Man has sent any "investigators" anywhere is an incurable, terminal moron. During its' birfoonery streak it has said or done absolutely nothing original: it's all just regurgitated, generic birfoon stories and one of the often repeated ones is this "I went/sent somebody to Hawaii and found a bombshell that I'll publish real soon if you suckers send some donations".

We'll take a good look. We need change we can believe in. Obama turned out to be dumber than Bush, more naive than Jimmah Carter, and unable to dunk in a single bound.

Yes Trump belongs in the race and the nominating process will determine whether he is a viable candidate and whether he is electable or not. Simple as that. Just because Trump makes statements that the media or other people claim are ludicrous does not mean that he is exempt from running. For the most part, running for the presidency requires money, ego, and self-promotion, and Trump seems to have all the above.

I require a birth certificate for my girl's softball team. I have not received anything but "long forms". It is so common to make a copy of the "long form" and submit it. Why doth Obama protest too much? He caused this on purpose. So, I hope Trump determines the purpose for this lack of transparency. (remember that word?)
