TRUMP THE PREZ... ??

Recently, Donald Trump – yeah, that guy, the guy with the weird hairdo – has been nattering on about the lack of a Barack Obama birth certificate.

Appearing on TV last Thursday, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Mr. Trump said that he wants the issue of President Barack Obama’s birth resolved. That, so Mr. Trump could beat him fair and square.

As nearly everyone on the planet knows by now, Mr. Trump has a good dentist, a terrible barber, and more than a few assets. He probably does not worry about whether or not he will have enough money to pay his rent this month. Now, he is setting a goal for deciding if he will run for the office of POTUS. By June, he will make up his mind.

I can save him a lot of trouble by letting him know that he should fogettaboudit. It would be much more meaningful for him to donate the money he would have spent on a failed POTUS campaign to a charity intended to help others who are less fortunate.

What if, by some miracle, a genuine, 100% guaranteed, actual, authentic, birth certificate appears, showing that Barack Obama was born of alien parentage, in PooPoo, BoogaBoogistan? Then what?

Would the U.S. Congress impeach him and remove him from office? Maybe, but not likely. If Congress did succeed in impeaching President Obama, then what would happen?

Would Joe Biden become POTUS, and select a VPOTUS? Does that really sound like a good choice?

I do not think so. Normally, it would be better to wait until the next election cycle, but remember that conservative Christians hijacked the Republican Party. (The Bible thumpers really need to form their own party. It is interesting to note that these people claim to be followers of Jesus, yet do not adhere to his teachings.)

The result is a littering of marginal, doofus-like Republican POTUS wannabes, none of whom have a chance to win against Obama in 2012, or other Dem candidates in 2016, maybe even 2020. Name any of the present Republican, or “Tea Party” POTUS wannabes, being sure to include Mr. Trump. Realize the fact that his or her chances of getting elected POTUS are the exact same as becoming the next Czar of Russia, the Pope, or the Grand Vizier of BoogaBoogistan.

The Republicans need to shed the mean-spirited, "we do not care about people who are less fortunate," screed offered by right wing conservative Christians. Instead, the GOP should concentrate on finding a candidate who has good budgeting ideas; and, who genuinely cares about other people having a more successful life outcome.

I am a Republican, but I realize that until there is a refocus to more meaningful issues, the Republican Party will continue to flounder and wallow in mediocrity. The Republican Party truly needs to become, “the party of the people.” Unless that transformation happens, they will lose.

In the meantime, “Trumping the Prez,” in 2012 just ain’t gonna happen.
