Another Reality TV Star Throws his Hair Into the Ring

Trump Electrifies CPAC 

February 10, 2011

Let's see, there's Palin 

 

And Huckabee

 

Now Trump?

 

Are the Republicans going to come up with any candidate who isn't a reality TV personality?

 Here's "FOXNation's" take on Trump's CPAC appearance:

If CPAC is a primary for self-confidence, Donald Trump won hands down.
The real-estate mogul with a genius for self-promotion gave the most-acclaimed - and most colorful - speech at the conservative gathering this afternoon, from the moment he took the stage to the song "Money, Money, Money."
