Love him or hate him you can't disagree that he has taken the primary season by storm. There's no way on the planet that Jeb Bush could attract the views that Trump has.

And seriously the other candidates should be forever thankful for the exposure HE has gotten them. Their voices and platforms are reaching millions upon millions.

Win or lose, he's kicked up primary season like never before. I love it!

"Ratings" of course, means "attention". There's no doubt a polished attention whore who's been wanking practicing at it all his life knows how to gadfly.

But there's a difference between "getting attention" and "being capable" or "being competent" or even "not being an asswipe". And the difference is, to use his term, YUUUUUUUUGE.

Bottom line, if "getting attention" were a qualification for high office, the President 50 years ago would have been Marilyn Monroe.

People watch Rump speeches for exactly the same reason they watch Gallagher smash watermelons. And it's not because they're hungry.

Bottom line NONE of the other R candidates could have that type of a draw on their own and by having Trump on that stage with them they are reaching millions of potential voters.

Good grief. Jeb Bush is as exciting as an old fuddy duddy Scout Master giving safety tips on how to roast a marshmallow.

It's a big win for the other candidates to have Trump have that kind of a draw.
