Trump will never be President. Here is Nomi Prinz's overview of his business past. I think that the media might not focus on it because he is such a money maker for them and the remaining crew are either unlikeable, boring, ridiculously superficial or just flat out dumb. And others like Cruz don't bring it up because he prefers to have to spotlight on Trump for the time being. And of course none of them want to alienate Trump's supporters and would prefer for him to just go away on his own without them having to attack him, as they he is quite a clever and strong counter-puncher. But he will never be elected. Trumpocrisy The Donald’s Finances and the Art of Ignoring Conflicts and Contradictions By Nomi Prins tomdispatch.com

More Trump PR brilliance--this may become the equivalent to the "flip-flop" meme that was used to kill Kerry in '04. Or "Al the Bore" that was used in '00. The Rs love to use something totally irrelevant to ridicule the opposing candidate. Trump ‘Reprimands’ Crowd For Cracks About ‘Muslim’ Obama and ‘Bathroom’ Hillary by Mediaite Staff \| 10:37 pm, January 5th, 2016 video at the link: mediaite.com Presidential candidate and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump put on something of a clinic on a rather new skillset Tuesday night, raising passive aggression to towering heights. With a little assist from the crowd, Trump brought back two of his greatest hits. First, he referenced the September brouhaha over his failure to correct a supporter who asserted President Obama is a Muslim by jokingly scolding an audience member who shouted a similar remark Tuesday night in Claremont, New Hampshire. The bit killed with the crowd, who then teed up Trump’s more recent attack on Hillary Clinton‘s “disgusting” urination habit, and Trump hit it over the (beautiful, Mexico-funded) wall: Trump: Where is she (Hillary)? I didn’t hear that? Audience Member: The bathroom! Trump: That’s terrible. Terrible! You should never say that! That’s terrible! They said she’s in the bathroom. That’s a terrible thing. I’m admonishing you for the press. You are admonished. We should throw him the hell out of here. Get out of here! No, I’m only… The crowd ate it up, of course, ensuring that this sort of Rocky Horror Picture Show call-and-response will become as regular a feature at Trump rallies as his cameraman-bashing schtick.
