There's nothing on earth this troll deserves less than attention, which, of course, the media and public shower upon him.

They're controlled fully -- they're controlled fully by the lobbyists, by the donors, and by the special interests, fully.Yes, they control them. Hey, I have lobbyists. I have to tell you. I have lobbyists that can produce anything for me. They're great. But you know what? it won't happen. It won't happen. Because we have to stop doing things for some people, but for this country, it's destroying our country. We have to stop, and it has to stop now.One of his quips against Graham is how can someone be so dumb that they're a politician and still poor!But you're right. People recognize the name, are not fond of politicians in a general sense, and are vaguely aware that he is addressing issues they're concerned about in different way - or are dumb enough that they actually know all the specifics of the crazy shit he says and are still on board with it.This is all highly entertaining side-show nonsense right now of course, but I just don't feel like this is going to play out like Herman Cain's little moment in the spotlight. A different animal. Could be wrong, sorta hope so.

I'm consistently shocked at the amount of Trump supporters I've run into around Knoxville. Also, at least two of them were at a gay bar. Insanity. Name recognition is going a long way. Extremely sad that he is constantly in the news and good, old Bernie can barely get a mention.

He'll be irrelevant and a silly memory in the 2016 campaign one year from now.

I hope he rides this out until bitter weird end and splits the repub party.
