You’re kidding, right?

Trump has just faced 36 straight hours of being pilloried in the town square. He has been chastised and criticized across the political spectrum. Every single political PR person would tell him that the last thing he needs to do is go on a show like this, where the sharks in the media smell fresh blood, and run the risk of making things worse.

But what he has done is throw all of that back in their face. It doesn’t matter what they do to him. It doesn’t matter how big of an ambush or how nasty and critical they make him appear, he understands publicity in a show-business sense and that is how he is running his campaign.

When others would shy away from publicity at this point, he puts himself on the three biggest shows out there.

Maybe I'm starting to get it now. You think of the Sunday shows as potentially BAD for Trump "No publicity is bad publicity"

I NEVER saw it that way; Trump will EAT THEM ALIVE.

Great points. DT is campaigning on high risk/high reward. Instead of backing down, he doubled down and that’s why he has the lion’s share of the polls. Tomorrow he will take up all the oxygen of the morning shows and be in a great position for another week of battle.

As they used to ask on the weekend shows, “who had the best week?” And week after week, you gotta give it to DT.
