Been watching snippets of Bernie and Hillary trying out their stump
speeches in Iowa while Trump addresses an audience in NH.

I am amazed at how much free time Trump is getting, at least on CNN
but it is really everywhere.
He may actually be able to afford this campaign if it is not costing
him anything to get TV time.
I still think he has a pretty small following but I never
underestimate what people will fall for if they see it often enough on
TV.

His poll numbers indicate support by about 20 - 24 percent of the
Republican base. That's not nearly enough to become POTUS. He has
started to moderate his mouth though and is saying things intended to
appeal to Independents and some Democrats. Reagan strategy. He has
also promised to release position statements and details of what he
will do to solve problems before the next debate scheduled for September.
