How is Donald Trump's candidacy affecting the public conversation — which, in turn, influences how campaigners compete?
The PEORIA Project relies on a Zignal Labs data platform to track presidential campaign conversations across news and social media, including all tweets; publicly available Facebook user posts; comments on YouTube videos, Vimeo and MediaBistro; about 35 million blogs; news stories from more than 100,000 online outlets; all Lexis/Nexis print media content; and television closed-caption content from 900 channels in every U.S. media market....

It’s OK when the political establishment hogs it though.
this is a sideshow. trump is a carnival freak. he’s detracting from the REAL candidates discussing the actual issues.
when this thing started, it was a win-win. walker vs. cruz, and there was no way we could come out wrong. but now hairtard is sucking up all the oxygen in the room.
Lord o' mercy. The Men Seeking Men mediums don't give a flying fig what the REAL candidates are saying.
If it wasn't for Trump, it would be all-Hillary, all the time.
He's throwing a monkey wrench into the mediums' machinery and that's a good thing.
Bingo!
No, he isn’t.
People are free to listen to whoever they want.
If they choose to listen to Trump, then that is what they choose.
It is up to the other candidates to figure out how to reach the the voters that they want to reach.
If the other candidates can’t figure out how to eclipse “hairtard” with a superior message, then I guess they are hairtardier than he is.
Heb Arbusto is a real candidate to represent the totality of the GOP? I don’t think so. Heb needs to go before Trump.
Trump’s the only one in the bunch who can beat Hillary. If he stays in it, the USA might actually have a shot at being great again.
Way #1: he discusses truthfully, the issues people want discussed. GOPe, had their chance, and blew it.
the latest polls would indicate that he’s the only one in the top tier that she could actually beat.
that was before the email server thing exploded, so YMMV
The Donald is not sucking the air out of anything. He is doing whatever he does. It is the media that talks about it endlessly.
I’ve watched Trump’s speeches/dressers for only two weeks. He’s improved a lot in that short time.
I very much doubt that.
Illegals and 3rd world immigrants vote for leftist policies,liberal policies, socialist policies and candidates.
Trump is promising he will deport all illegals and their families . That's at least 40 million leftists in the USA that will leave America. That alone will save our country that is now one inch away from the precipice:

Politicians have not done anything only grow government, allow more immigrants ,done nothing against illegals.
Trump is the only saying he will deport illegals. It's a numbers gave . If you have 40 million fewer leftists in the USA then we can then get conservative laws passed and save America.
If the politicians don't do anything again. what have they done in the past 115 years? just incremental socialism and more immigration from the 3rd world.
This past year the politicians’ “accomplishments” were Obama trade (which is more immigration) and the Iran deal (the politicians empowered Obama to make a treaty where Obama gives Iran the nuclear bomb and gives them billions so that Iran can nuke us. )
Yeah the politicians and Obama are the freak show. Obama has also done about 1000 similar crimes or worse than that (IRS oppressing conservatives , executive amnesty , BLM vs mr Bundy, a thousand other tyrannical horrors. And you have the audacity to say that Trump would make it worse? you've got to living in an alternate reality created by the liberal media or you are a liberal/democrat yourself too. The country is done .
politicians have wrecked America for 115 years. They promise all kinds of things but never do anything good.
and you still trust politicians . why is the county in so much trouble? politicians and the media caused it to be in this much trouble.
Trump is the only one who can Save America
1000 points for the word ‘hairtardier’.... hilarious!
He has, I agree. His mind seems to move at a high rate of speed during interviews.
Whatever the case though, he is appealing to voters in a significant way.
Haha :D
Well, I was just playing off of what that other poster said.
There is no point in insulting the man. Whatever one may think of Trump, he’s beating all the other candidates handily, so any attempt to belittle him belittles by implication even further the candidates below him in my estimation.
See, that’s the problem. They have to “figure it out.” lol
I know...that’s what made it hilarious!
It’s pitiful the way the haters bash Trump. I’m enjoying the way the guy is shaking up the establishment. Go Trump!
