He hasn’t needed to spend much, so far.

By hitting on hot-button issues, he captures headlines. Headlines are free marketing. Headlines turn into commentaries in the news media.

Other wannabes wish they had that kind of exposure. That is why they are coming out so vocally against Trump — they are hoping to get some of the free media attention.

Other wannabes wish they had that kind of exposure.

They could have it, all they gotta do is speak up on some issue.

But that's why their campaigns are dying, isn't it? They DON'T speak up, they're afraid to take sides because then someone will be offended, and that offended person will be paraded on Big Media to say what a jerk the Republican was.

Trump gets smacked too in the media too, but he doesn't care. He isn't afraid - that's the difference.

(** But I will give credit to Rand Paul for speaking up on abortion, Cruz on Iran and immigration, and Huckabee on Iran .... just don't stop with those, guys)
