Trump 2012? Not Every Stupid Idea Is Funny

Stuart Rothenberg, Roll Call
I debated about filing this column, worrying that writing anything — anything at all — about Donald Trump would only fuel the existing chatter about a possible presidential bid for the Republican nomination by the celebrity businessman.I decided, however, that a painfully honest appraisal of Trump’s prospects and of the Draft Trump movement was overdue.
