This guy is the symbol of everything that is wrong with politics. I don't even mean his own politics, but the fact that Donald Trump is even in the discussion is an indictment of not just the sad state of the Republican party but of the political discourse in America. For the last 20 years or so, The Donald has been a joke. A strange looking, loud mouth with a proudly awful hair cut that is more successful at branding himself (albeit impressively) than as a real estate mogul. There are thousands of more successful people in his field (many of his properties have declared bankruptcy), but none are as good as him at getting their name put on almost every building in a city and promoting themselves. His reality show and outspoken ways are what made him so famous (and even more rich) despite the fact that he's the embodiment of the "born on third and thought he hit a triple" saying.
So why is this clown some how near the top of certain polls of GOP presidential candidates for 2012?
