The time has come to THANK Donald Tump for his support...

Donald Trump will “probably” run as an independent candidate for U.S. President in 2012 if he does not receive the Republican party’s nomination, he told the Wall Street Journal in a video interview on Monday.

Once upon a time, people were worried that a Bloomberg-type Independent would draw off disgruntled Independents who would otherwise vote Democratic, throwing the Presidential Election to the GOP. Now, thanks to The Donald, we have a candidate likely to draw off the most rabid of the Tea-Party / Birther voters from the Republican line.

1. They do love him,....He only speaks on one issue but that's the one

they are frothing about. Most don't even believe he's a serious candidate but they don't care. As long as all he talks about is birth certificate they're happy campers..

2. Meh...he's Fred Thompson with a dead squirrel stapled to his head.

He'll catch about 8 percent of the la-la land vote in the primaries, and go back to his TV show after he is done playing.

3. Go for it Trumpy. We need to split the tea party - freeper vote. n/t
