As for winning the election it does remain to be seen. The election fraud seems to greater that at any other time. With George Soros controlled voting machines in 16 states, continuing Wikileaks/Veritas evidence of severe vote rigging...Trump may not have a chaInce.
Actually, he had unprecedented media coverage between his announcement he was running and during the primaries. In the primaries, he got some negative feedback as his incendiary comments created the “has he gone too far” and “will this do him in” commentary that was going on back then. But even he bragged about the amount of coverage he was getting that in turn didn’t require spending a lot of ad money during that time. I am far from being a Cruzer, and clearly prefer Trump over Cruz, but Cruz was correct when he pointed out the amount of “free” airtime Trump was getting vs Cruz coverage this past spring. And that coverage was simply because Trump was being Trump. And maybe the media did it to bolster someone who wasn’t as strong as someone else from the primary field and who would have given Hillary a run for the money. Remember, the Clinton camp was more concerned running against Rubio than Trump.
