Stephen Colbert has one. So does Sarah Palin. And now, billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump says he wants his own super PAC too. Trump, who at one time considered seeking the 2012 presidential nomination as a Republican, told conservative outlet Newsmax on Wednesday that he was “thinking about just doing my own super PAC.”
No doubt the super PAC would focus on one of Trump’s favorite targets, President Obama. Trump has been a staunch supporter of the birther movement, and has said repeatedly that he questions whether the president was really born in the U.S.

We’re like children with a wallet and they’re just taking the money right out of our wallet.”

It’s as if they didn’t learn a thing from the 2012 elections. Republicans are on the same suicide mission as before--trying to block immigration reform, roll back the clock on abortion rights and stop gay marriage wherever possible. Why can’t Republicans learn?
