Donald Trump makes a splash among Tea Partiers in new GOP 2012 poll

[^_^ 5,021]

As he continues to make headlines by aligning himself with "birthers" and questioning President Obama's birthplace, a new poll shows Donald Trump is making headway among Republican voters.

...

The poll shows Trump receiving more support, 20 percent, than any other potential 2012 GOP nominee among Tea Party supporters.

...

Trump continues to receive more publicity for his insistence that Mr. Obama may not have been born in the United States.

...

Some polls show Tea Partiers are more likely than other voters to say it's worth risking a government shutdown in order to bring about more federal spending cuts. On the "Today" show, Trump minimized the consequences of a government shutdown and said the blame for a shutdown would fall on the president.

...

He said that if he were to have a foreign affairs "doctrine," it would be: "We take care of ourselves first."

"We don't build schools in Afghanistan," he continued. "We go to Afghanistan, we build a road, we build a school. Two days later, they blow up the road, they blow up the school. In the mean time, we can't build schools in Alabama, in New Orleans, in Texas, in New York... My doctrine would be build, build, build."

While he's gaining traction among voters, Trump said he can't jump into the race before June because of his hit television program "The Apprentice."

"I have the No. 1 show on TV," he said. "You're not allowed to have a show on and be a declared candidate."

And he wants to "build, build, build" schools all over the country.

With what? Big government spending? The Tea Party likes that? Interesting!

With his 20 percent tax on Chinese imports.

As well as the oil he's going to take from the Iraqis.

It's still big government spending. And what good are all these new schools if you can't hire and pay teachers and staff? More big government spending.

Trump: "I went to the best college and I was a great student."

He is a UPenn graduate.

How about the Feds not build any schools at all. It is not the Feds job to fund any school even in this country. Now I could see them building a small school on a military base for Dependants but it is the state and local government to build and staff the schools that we have chosen to.Abolish the useless department of education and save a ton of money.
