Unable to add or edit profiles on contribution pages
Turns out that Jetpack conflicts with CiviCRM - Fix for now is to disable Jetpack when using CiviCRM Profiles on contribution pages and then reactivate when done. Also note:  Jetpack also impacts the ability to edit a calendar date in CiviEvents.

Update:
In speaking with Jetpack, the Jetpack Notifications module relies on Backbone.js and is in conflict with CiviCRM.  There is already a ticket discussing conflict with backbone.js and a multitude of wordpress plugins with CiviCRM.  Instead of deactivating Jetpack everytime you need to access a profile or edit a date, simply disable the Notifications Module at http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack_modules

They are working on making the feature easier to access and enable when it’s disabled. https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/6788

Now I am able to use Jetpack sans the Notifications module which I don't care about and CiviCRM without any issues.
