Trump, No Trump

So the ultimate symbol of American capitalism-at-its-worst chose to opt out of the race before it really got started.  Of course, he didn't do it willingly.  He wanted to be there.  He could taste it.  He desired the run, the challenge, the competition.  But he could tell, the real consumers (voters) weren't going to buy his candidacy.

Per this story on CNN, a poll this week showed that

"...71 percent of Americans think the business mogul has "no chance" of ever winning the White House."

He'll play things up in the coming years, like the story about how he alone got the long form birth certificate to be released after several years of effort by all others.  Like the story about how he was such a real threat, that Obama finally got serious about Osama bin Laden and took him out to put an end to the credible concept of Trump as the Republican nominee.  

So now what?  I think he should bring Glenn Beck to Celebrity Apprentice next season.  Both of them will need the pats on the back they aren't getting from Americans today.
