Trump is not a conservative, in my opinion this shows people want nothing to do with the current crop of potential candidates and will take just about anyone who isn’t a 2008 retread.

PRINCETON, NJ — Donald Trump debuts in a first-place tie in Gallup’s latest update of Republicans’ preferences for the party’s 2012 presidential nomination among potential contenders. Trump ties Mike Huckabee at 16%, with Mitt Romney close behind at 13%. Sarah Palin is the only other potential Republican candidate to earn double-digit support.
