And Trump's outsize persona has practically made him immune to ridicule. This is what makes Trump a threat....He has enough money not to be beholden to anyone. He has enough ego not to care how many darts are thrown his way. He honestly loves America. I don't agree with him on everything, but I agree with you....he will be interesting to watch. He IS the Elephant in the Room.... He is right now, the only Adult in the Sandbox as well.

My post was to compare Trump and Perot as outside candidates. As I said, I would take either over Obama. That said, I suspect Trump has a "baggage" problem along the lines of Gingrich. I too like that he is challenging the Obama actions and assumptions. I seriously doubt if he will run but I have been wrong many times before.

It looks like they are getting nervous. The calls must be flooding in.

"if he wasn't born in this country, he shouldn't be president of the United States." I don't think this conclusion is accurate. Lots of American expatriates have kids born overseas, and I think those kids are "natural born citizens". My kids are both born outside the US, and are entitled to US passports and US citizenship as a result of my US citizenship. I think natural born citizen is opposed to a naturalized citizen, someone who was born with a non-US nationality, and immigrated to the US and went through the citizenship process. But it is fun to watch Trump pound the table on this issue, as silly as it may be.
