This is one thing, among many, that Trump is accomplishing. He’s managed to brush off the MSM and get through to people who’ve traditionally voted Democrat or just haven’t voted at all.
MSNBC, etc., might come to regret all their free Trump coverage. The people in charge can’t imagine Trump (or any GOP candidate) making sense to anyone at all, but many of their viewers could be concluding that Trump is making a lot of sense.
And if Cruz or Rubio or Christie eventually win the nomination, Trump will have done them a favor by getting so many former Dems to question their allegiance to a party that continues to take them for granted.
