Why is the Trumpster doing well in the polls?

[FairWinds]

The Krugman says its the "bothsidesism" of the
main stream media - and I agree.

Trump is becoming a serious contender because the media
treats him as a serious contender.

1. Most polls, besides the repug-leaning ones, find he's not doing so well.

Same thing happened in 2012. Rasmussen and all the other right-leaning polls had Romney winning easily.

What was it W bush said — "fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

4. that free airtime is what makes me suspect he MAY be the establishment's true candidate

5. Define "establishment".

Do you mean the one Sanders railed against all campaign as if he hadn't ever been part of it for thirty some years in elected office, and the one Clinton was allegedly a big part of, or do you mean something that now favors Trump instead of Clinton even though she was smeared endlessly for being a part of it?

7. among the financial elite, there are those that seem to think we need managed democracy and

those who think we need none at all.

Hillary is the candidate of the first kind.

Trump could be the candidate of the second kind.

2. a narcissistic psycho . .

is within about 5 points of Ms. Clinton in the race for the presidency . .

Trump is definitely within striking distance.

Are you OK with that? I am not.

And I see "false-equivalencism" as a primary cause.

3. First of all he has received probably $1 billion in free air time from the

cable news channels. Second he can say or do anything and the MSM doesn't call him out. Howard Dean was done after the "Dean
Scream". They blasted Gore because of the sigh in the debates. Then with GHWB they hit him because he looked at his watch. But that asshat Trump has said and done 100 things that would have finished anyone else.
