If there is any better portrait of nouveau riche as exemplar of crass, boorish, and stupid, look no further than real estate mogul Donald Trump.
Wolf Blitzer is spot-on for calling out the Donald for his idiotic obsession with Obama's citizenship. The president is a born and naturalized citizen of this country. He mus be judged on the merits — in truth, lack thereof, in leading this country for the past three and a half years.
Donald Trump does nothing but expose to the world the depths of his ineptitude in leading a final, failing charge regarding the "birther" movement.
And to think that this man was considered presidential material over a year ago!
I do not care how much money this man amasses for the GOP, he is a blight on the political discourse of the general election, which needs to focus on scaling back the government, promoting wealth creation and job growth, and decimating the deficit spending which is eating away at this country's core.
Governor Romney does not need any more help stirring up the embers of Tea Party partisans. He should dump Trump as soon as possible.
