Everybody hates Donald Trump

If there was a master class in how not to conduct yourself as a politician, it would look a lot like Donald Trump.

Trump, who fashions himself a potential 2016 presidential candidate and ally to the tea party, has turned himself into little more than a punchline these days. What’s amazing is that he keeps getting invited to gatherings like the Iowa Freedom Summit two weeks ago – an opportunity he used to rag on Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.

It’s even more amazing when you consider this: Republicans hate Donald Trump.

Yes, the guy who was leading the GOP primary polls in the early part of the 2012 campaign -- almost exactly four years ago now -- is nothing shy of a pariah, even among the most devoted early primary and caucus voters.

That hair, though, is akin to a walking, talking hate crime.

It, like Eichman, warrants an international tribunal and a bulletproof glass booth of its very own.

seriously he takes himself. He sounds like a buffoon but he is absolutely serious. And the hair? I don't know why he didn't pay for a good transplant.

from the article in the OP:

These numbers, we would stress, are among Republicans.


Imagine what the figures would be if the Dems and Independents were included in the poll. Undoubtedly, Trump, if questioned about the results of the poll, will say; "the fucking poll is wrong."

It's useful to him to look or feel important, and people keep printing his press releases.

He's not, however, running for any office. Why would he take a pay cut?
