"Be careful what you wish for."

For those of you wondering what Donald Trump's appeal is outside the crazy Birther/Neo-Birther camp, you need look no further than last night's speech before a well-lubricated crowd at the Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas, where the Donald dropped multiple F-bombs while accusing our nation's politicians of being "stupid" and "blood-sucking." via slog.thestranger.com

Donald Trump, GOP frontrunner for 2012, is a tacky, self-serving creep addicted to gazing in the mirror of public attention. So what? If he's warped, he's warped in a way that represents a dark and highly productive side of the American psyche. via crosscut.com

If someone has the idea that Obama released the birth certificate to make Trump look good because Trump could be a weak and comical Republican nominee. think of the old expression "Be careful what you wish for."

I think that Trump is tapping into a vein of anxiety and fear which is making him a very effective candidate. Don't laugh too soon.
