From ABC:
After a roller-coaster flirtation with a presidential bid, Donald Trump bowed out of the 2012 contest in true Trump fashion, sayng that while he would not be a candidate this year, if he had run, he would have been able to win the primary and the general election.
“I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election,” Trump said in a statement. “I have spent the past several months unofficially campaigning and recognize that running for public office cannot be done half heartedly. Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector.”…
Probably the best decision – and now Trump is free to be “rabble-rouser-in-Chief” of the anti-Obama forces. He can now devote time and resources, if he wishes, to advancing the cause of America…and calling out both GOP and Democrats when they screw up.
