Honestly, can anyone be surprised? Other than maybe Sidewinder and a couple of extreme right-wing pundits?

According to reports this week, ratings for Celebrity Apprentice have plummeted in the past week as well.

TPM: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...op-primary.php

One month ago, a handful of surveys showed Trump trouncing the GOP field, leading all comers by as much as a nine-point margin. But now, after a month of bruising press coverage, the latest PPP poll shows that Trump's support has quickly dried up, as he's dropped back to a tie for fifth place.

In the poll, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney paced the GOP field at 19% and 18%, respectively. Newt Gingrich took third at 13%, followed by Palin (12%), Trump (8%), and Ron Paul (8%.)

That's a stunning turnaround from one month ago, when Trump led PPP's national survey with 26% to Huckabee's 17%.

But since then, Trump has taken a beating in the media. NBC questioned Trump about his his failed business ventures and bankruptcies -- questions which Trump brushed off by saying he was paid millions, "for his genius."

Also perhaps contributing to Trump's sudden downfall is the fact that the birther population, a group Trump heavily courted by insisting that Obama release his long form birth certificate, was cut in half once Obama released that documentation.
