Dems Hoping Trump Card Yields Returns

By Anna Cameron

The fundraising arm of the House Democratic Caucus is using Donald Trump’s recent notoriety to garner the financial backing of supporters.

In an open letter Friday, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Robby Mook asked supporters to donate and to tell Trump “you’re fired,.”

“The pundits will use our totals to judge whether grassroots Democrats have President Obama’s back and are willing to fight for the issues that really matter or whether Donald Trump continues to rule the day,” said Mook.

Slamming Trump as the “next Sarah Palin,” Mook asked supporters to donate funds in order to send a strong message to both Trump and the GOP.

“That’s why this FEC deadline is so critical,” he said. It’s our chance to show the world that we have our President’s back. Most of all, it’s out change to expose the GOP’s real extremist agenda — ending Medicare, defunding Planned Parenthood, destroying NPR, and giving huge tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil companies.”

Trump Hints At Possible 2012 Presidential Run

Real estate tycoon and reality TV host Donald Trump hinted again at a Presidential run in 2012.   Speaking with HLN’s Joy Behar, Trump voiced that he did not want to be President but that it may be necessary to save the country he loves. 

“For the first time really would think about it. And I am thinking about it. It doesn’t mean I want to do it. I’d prefer not doing it…But I hate - you know, I’m very proud of this country. I’m very proud to be an American. And frankly, I hate what I’m seeing,”Trump told Behar. 

Trump blasted both the Obama and Bush Administrations during the interview on examples ranging from the War in Iraq to the failure to secure the 2016 Olympic Games for Chicago.  

“That shouldn’t be happening to this country. People are not respecting us. They are not respecting this country. And I hate to see it,”said Trump. 

Trump has not officially thrown his hat into the race but there has been buzz for months of a possible Presidential campaign.
