Is Trump a Serious Contender?

So I knew Donald Trump was pretending like he wanted to run for President in 2012, but now I'm seeing that he is actually serious? Jesus man, I'm not an Obama fan these days, and if he Trump really were to get the nod, I might have to throw him a vote of support. These days government is a business, and if Trump knows one thing in this world, it is business and Eastern European foxes.

President Trump?

From CNN:

Washington (CNN) - Donald Trump is now tied with Mike Huckabee for first place when Republicans are asked who they support for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, according to a new national poll.

But while a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday indicates that the real estate mogul and reality TV star has nearly doubled his support since mid-March, it doesn't mean he has smooth sailing ahead.

"More than four in ten Republicans say they would not like to see Trump toss his hat in the ring," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Nineteen percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents questioned in the poll say that as of now, they'd be most likely to support Trump for next year's GOP presidential nomination. Trump says he'll decide by June whether he runs for the White House. An equal amount say they'd back Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate says he'll decide by later this year if he'll make another bid for the White House.

Twelve percent say they'd support former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, who was the party's 2008 vice presidential nominee, with 11 percent backing former Massachusetts Gov. and 2008 White House hopeful Mitt Romney and the same amount supporting former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Seven percent say they are backing Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, another 2008 presidential candidate, with five percent supporting Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who enjoys strong backing from many in the Tea Party movement. Everyone else registers in the low single digits.

I don't know if this is pathetic and sad, or hilarious and awesome. Like are Republicans really desperate enough to put their 2012 hopes on the Donald? I don't know what to think anymore. I want to think this is still a joke but I mean now CNN is on board, jesus.
