Donald Trump speaking in Springfield, Illinois, November 9th, 2015.

Business Insider is following Donald Trump on the campaign trail this week.

Last night, Trump spoke at a rally in Springfield, Illinois. More than 10,000 people attended. It was standing-room-only, floor to rafters. According to the Trump campaign, Trump's attendance shattered a record set by Elton John 37 years ago.

In the view of this Business Insider reporter, many political pundits do not yet appreciate how compelling a speaker Trump is. They also do not yet appreciate how much passion and energy he can inspire. Trump's can-do reputation and the public's disgust with normal politicians and politics as usual are fueling a startling degree of fervor in his supporters.

In short, this Business Insider reporter believes that Trump's potential as a candidate is still being underestimated.

Springfield is where Abraham Lincoln is from. President Obama launched his own campaign from there as well.

No, no, no, this can’t be, Big Gay Media assured us that Trump is a loser, has no chance at winning it all, and will start tanking any day now.

Extending their brilliant thinking to football, Big Gay Media also insists the New England Patriots are losers, have no chance at winning it all, and will start tanking any day now.

Where would we be without these Media geniuses??

“More than 10,000 people attended...shattered a record set by Elton John 37 years ago”

The Morning Joe crew had a big laugh over this. It was YUGE.

I’m thinking that Dr. Ben’s book tour was planned to coincide with his meteoric “rise” in the polls, so that no one would be asking pesky questions like: “If he has all of this support, how come no one shows up at his rallies??”

Big deal. I have it on good authority that Ted Cruz is slowly but surely creeping up on Trump, and is going to inevitably run away with it all.
