Stay Classy, Donald Trump

From New York Daily News, we give you more of Mitt Romney’s BFF:

In an address at the North Carolina State Republican Convention, Trump said the outcome of this season’s “Celebrity Apprentice” shows he’s no racist.

“Somebody said, ‘Oh, because I brought up the birth certificate, I’m a racist,’ ” Trump said Friday.

“I said, ‘How can I be a racist? I just picked Arsenio Hall.’ ” [Pols emphasis]

Rep. Mike Coffman very sensibly did not comment.

Our current theory is Trump is going deliberately nuts to give cover not just to Mitt Romney, but to Coffman and a whole slew of Republicans who, unlike Trump, are running for something. But for that to be true, Romney would need to keep Trump at arm’s length, which he hasn’t.

We may be giving Trump too much credit for thinking, but that doesn’t excuse his legitimation.
