I “mean”.... as so many are doing (for many varied reasons) - carry him on their shoulders, elevate him.
When he gets nowhere, all his dirty laundry and past positions will be fitted to hang on the Republican field - fair or not, because that’s what the MSM does.
If the media didn’t want him to win the nomination they would ignore him and we know how this ends.
Frankly, I don’t give a rat’s patootie about the Republican field. At best there are only two conservatives who are under the Republican banner who I’d ever vote for.
I’m not elevating him by standing ringside. I enjoy seeing the frustration of Democrats whose former tactics of threats, intimidation, race/ethnic baiting, et al aren’t working. I also enjoy see RINOs on this side being forced to provide some specificity in their erstwhile positions on “immigration reform” as they so like to obfuscate the illegal problem.
The thing you need to realize is that if it wasn’t Trump or Black Hating Confederate Battle Flags, or whatever, it would be something else. And they’ll pour all their resources into it just like they always have.
It’s pointless to keep up this ‘concern’ thing about Republicans because in the final analysis, the only real ‘concern’ meme Democrats will accept is the one that says “Republicans don’t deserve to exist”. That’s their way, that’s their goal
That stuff all will come out and it won't matter any more than Emmitt Smith quitting as a Miss America judge. Because TRUMP DOESN'T CARE.
This is what the old style pols and analysts don't get. With the exception of Cruz---who has yet to weather this level of attack, though I think he can---Trump is the only one with enough money and enough ego to tell yahoos like Jonah to piss off.
