Donald Trump’s Birth Certificate Strategy

Donald Trump is wasting no time implementing his political strategy. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. You have Trump,you have the White House, you have an opponent's jugular. Trump is in predator mode. Obama-Birth Certificate. Romeny-RomneyCare. Huckabee-Opie.

There is much to be learned about Trump before he earns the votes from the Right, but so far so good. Trump is running because he loves America, he doesn't appreciate the trashing of his country.He knows the economic power this country possesses, and is willing to use it, in the global market place DT absolutely loves the TEA Party, says they are full of common sense. Trump isn't new to politics either, he's been working in another political arena is all. At the highest levels the corporate/country club world is a take no prisoners, cut throat world of economic political intrigue. Mogul and Washington king maker are co equal terms. Mogul and community organizer are not.

Trump's business acumen has taught him, there are 10,000 mouse trap makers, what the people really want is something traditional, something fundamentally simple and most importantly something revolutionary.

So far Palin, Bachmann, Huckleberry Finn, and Romeny are all working off of old designs. Palin's mousetrap is painted red white and blue. and she's been working the really prime corner on Constitution Ave. Activity around Palin has been brisk, yet unspectacular. Bachmann's got a good mousetrap,and raises lots of money for advertising but her ads lack that " Hey Look At Me, Knockout Punch". Romney the traveling salesman,hasn't change his pitch in two decades.

In two five minute appearances Trump has safaried into the heart of Liberal Land and has cornered a ghetto rat. Trump has a trap that will not only catch America's most troublesome rat, but it will clean his clock, gut him, bag him, then set all the refuse on the curb. No fuss, no muss for the homeowner. But Wait, for your vote, Trump will include a no miss rat bait, Birther Certificus. No native born rat on the North American continent has been birfed that can resist Birther Certificus. Trump also has another trick up his sleeve, right before the first Trump Obama debate handshake, Donald will dip his right hand in pig blood.

“Of course I’d release it. In two seconds I’d release it. If I decide to run, I’ll absolutely release it,” Donald Trump said in an interview with The Daily Caller Thursday, referring to his own birth certificate. “I have it right on my desk. I have it right here, right now, right this minute. I am literally looking at it. Because, based on this I said, ‘do me a favor, get me my birth certificate.’ I have my original birth certificate right here.”

Donald Trump has been thinking a lot about birth certificates lately. Indeed, he has made questions about Barack Obama’s birth certificate a pivotal part of his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. And it appears to be working. One recent poll has Trump running fifth in the GOP field, just two points behind former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

“There’s a very clear niche in the Republican primary,” said longtime political consultant Roger Stone. “It’s a brilliant base-building move. There’s a very active, fervent subset of voters interested in this.” Stone, who has worked for Trump in years past, says he has no paid role in Trump’s current campaign, though he does allow that the two continue to “talk politics from time to time.”

Republican pollster John McLaughlin agrees that Trump’s remarks may be part of a larger, and potentially effective, campaign strategy. “Just like Obama won the nomination as the most anti-Bush candidate, the Republican nomination is going to be won by the most anti-Obama candidate,” McLaughlin said. “He’s positioning himself to be the most aggressive candidate against Obama. If you want to win a primary that’s the way you win a primary.”

For his part, Trump denies that raising questions about Obama’s birth certificate has anything to do with his own political ambitions. “No. Not at all. Not at all,” he said.

With that said, Trump launches into a passionate and detailed discussion of the subject. “We’ve studied it very closely. His family doesn’t even know what hospital he was born in. You know that, right? Do you know that? This is all fact. This is all in the records.”

The publicly-released records of Obama’s birth include a “short-form” certification of live birth created in 2007, a document adequate to apply for a U.S. passport. Yet, as Trump points out, Obama has never released his hospital-produced, “long form” birth certificate. “Here’s the thing: why doesn’t he release his birth certificate?” Trump asked. “If they have it, why don’t they release it?”

Asked if he believes Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, as contemporaneous newspaper announcements suggest, Trump repeated the same line several times: “I want to see his birth certificate.”

Told that the current governor of Hawaii, Democrat Neil Abercrombie, has claimed he remembers Obama’s birth, Trump scoffed. “Well, I think it’s pretty unusual that … a governor currently sitting is going to think back to 50 years and say ‘I remember when he was born.’ Pretty unusual, right? He must have a pretty good memory.”

“I hope he was born in this country,” Trump said. “But the word ‘hope’ is not good enough because if he’s president, he has to be born in the country.”

Lines like this are unlikely to win Trump the endorsement of the New York Times editorial page. But according to consultants Stone and McLaughlin, they may help with primary voters. “It’s a brilliant stratagem in a multi-candidate field,” Stone said. “He just needs a plurality.”

Voters with questions about Obama’s birth could provide that margin. A poll conducted in last month by Public Policy Polling found that 51 percent of likely Republican primary voters don’t believe Obama was born in the United States. Twenty-one percent said they were unsure, while 28 percent said they firmly believe he was born here. Stone said he’s seen other private polls that show about one-third of primary voters feel “very strongly” about the issue.

So far, Obama and his political machine have done an effective job of controlling the issue in the mainstream press, and many think the president has deliberately avoided releasing his birth certificate so he could use the issue to paint conservatives as crazy.

John McLaughlin says that tactic worked well in 2008, but since Obama is far less popular now, and facing much greater scrutiny as a sitting president, questions about his birth certificate are hurting him. “To not put it out now, it’s like, ‘why won’t you put it out?’” McLaughlin said, adding that he personally believes Obama was born in Hawaii.

At this point, Donald Trump and Barack Obama have at least one thing in common: Both claim to have an original birth certificate, yet neither has publicly released one. Asked if he would release his now, before officially announcing for president, Trump doesn’t hesitate. “Nooo,” he said. “Why would I release it to you? I’ve never even heard of you."
