DB,
This is an interesting article, if you haven't already read it.
Excerpt:

Then came Donald Trump's decision to exit the Republican Party and declare that he would run as an independent candidate. Trump, who had been a member of each party, denounced them both as hopeless cases, caused by Republicans who would not raise any taxes and Democrats who would not cut any entitlement spending. It was time, he thundered, for real change. He would run as the anti-politician. (It also helped that Trump discarded his "birther" mantra.)

Trump is interesting to follow as his past goes against the Conservative values that the Tea Party fought so hard to push forward and correct in the Republican Party.
He is speaking out on subjects that many Americans want addressed, and yet, they are not sure to trust him, being touted as a Democratic plant. His organizational executive, Michael Cohen, has voted and supported Democrats in the past, but now he is saying that Obama and his Administration have taken our country too far and won't support him any longer. I find that interesting as I've read so many Democrats are not happy with this Administration.
Trump says he is disappointed in both parties and would run as an Independent. I think that our country votes more from the center and would find it hard to believe or swallow that someone with his moral character could be voted in.
So, I wonder if the Republicans are letting him take the forefront, at the moment, to address all the larger issues so that the candidate they choose won't have to take the heat? Or as Andrew Breitbart says, "Our country looks more toward a celebrity, and any Republican running must know how to play the media to win." Trump knows how to play the media.
Oh, and one thing I forgot to add - It was a very pleasurable moment when I heard Trump address George Stephanopoulos with, when asked what he found on the birth certificate - "It's none of your business."

I've always wanted someone to say that to George, the ABC campaign coordinator for Obama.
