According to a new poll released Friday morning by Public Policy Polling, Celebrity Apprentice host and undeclared candidate for president Donald Trump now leads his nearest GOP primary opponent by nine percentage points. The man that Lawrence O’Donnell calls “NBC’s Charlie Sheen” is showing the political world that a Birther-fueled publicity tour + a weak Republican field equals “Winning!”

The former president met with Democratic lawmakers today to stress the importance of passing health care reform. Angering opponents, he said, was proof that things were working. “The point I want to make is: Just pass the bill, even if it’s not exactly what you want,” Clinton reportedly said. “When you try and fail, the other guys write history.”
