Rick Klein: Donald Trump is the most dangerous man in politics today, with his unlimited funds, overall showmanship, and disregard for conventional political and even human rules of interaction, coupled with his threat to bolt the Republican Party if things dont go his way. But in dragging the campaign show 100-odd reporters following around the white baseball cap that came out of a 1980s golf pro shop to the Texas-Mexico border, Trump looks like he got what he wanted yet again. The focus was on immigration and the border, not on disparaging comments about Sen. John McCains service, or even Trump calling anyone a loser or a dummy. If you needed yet another exhibit in Donald Trumps capacity to dominate the media cycle and more on his terms than not the images from the border, white hat and all, should suffice for a while.

See: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027006338
He's trading on his celebrity and getting lots of free publicity right now.

Trump has the power/money to remove The ED Show & replace it with Chuck Todd in a Prime time Tv slot.
As Todd seemed excited at the way Trump is seemingly untouchable in his campaign, a sort of enigma, I do wonder if Chuck was "chosen" to provide Trump with his own media show.
Todd would do it in a heartbeat for the paycheck. And Trump knew who his go-to-guy would be.
Chuck the lackey found a forever friend
ugh
