Of all the candidates, Trump is being listened to. Why? Because he doesn't talk like the typical Washington politician that every other candidate represents. He is so outside the political box that people are either scared of him, think he's a fool (in comparison to all other candidates), or just a fake.

Guess what, all of this chatter means something. I've said it before - we'll see soon enough.
Being listened too because of irrational statements and general incompetence is not a good thing.

Ahh. So it's a test you created for Trump to fail.

Well explain why it's wrong if it is so simplistic. That should be simple too.

If you think he is irrational and incompetent, then why are you listening to him instead of the candidate that you support?

This indicates that while you say one thing, you actually believe just the opposite.

Republicans won big in 2010, but not in 2012. Democrats know how to get out the vote in big elections, and they'll figure out makes to make people come out and vote AGAINST Trump.

It's hard not to listen to Trump when he gets 24/7 media attention (mostly for saying irrational stuff and being generally incompetent).

Except of course that you are wrong.

Of any of the 4 categories that I listed The GOP gained ground in 2012 too. The only reason that Obama lost is because the GOP establishment railroaded the hapless Romney to run against him.

Do you realize that Donald Trump IS part of the political establishment, only on the other side of it (and often for the Democratic Party)?

What political office has Trump held?
