Trump is a brand.
He’s the most famous person in America.
I can think of only two other celebrities who made it in politics:
Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When you are well-known, you have a way of pulling in people lesser mortals can only envy.
That’s what has some people upset about the fact the rest of the GOP field can’t compete with Trump.
He makes them look like schoolboys.
Perhaps it’s because he says what he thinks and feels instead of relying on optics, consultants’ dubious advice, flawed polls or just their own plain ulterior intentions.
