Democrats had a brilliant response to Donald Trump's candidacyby Brett Logiurato at Business Insider

"SNIP.............
The Democratic National Committee had a clever response to Donald Trump's announcement that he is running for president, treating a candidacy observers often view with suspicion as the most serious yet.
"Today, Donald Trump became the second major Republican candidate to announce for president in two days," DNC national press secretary Holly Shulman said in a statement. "He adds some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field, and we look forward hearing more about his ideas for the nation."
Compare that to the DNC's statements on other candidates. Shulman called fellow GOP candidate Rick Santorum's ideas "backwards." The committee compared former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) to "Arrested Development" character Gob Bluth. It even called former New York Gov. George Pataki (R), who is considered an afterthought of a candidate, someone whose agenda is "wrong for the middle class."
It's not surprising that Democrats are seeking to elevate Trump, who is now perhaps the GOP's most controversial candidate. He's currently in the top 10 of polling, which would put him in position to be on the GOP debate stage in August.

Season 15 of The Apprentice starts before then. He'll have used up all the publicity he plans to use and move on long before that.

but, it would have been so much fun. Especially if it was T-Rump against Bernie.

debates. I hope he makes it.

He's so out there it's fun to watch. He's the classic born wealthy type who has no clue about the real world.
