Like Jeb they didn't take him seriously. They thought he was just a good story, something they could use to promote their early polling, and that he would implode like Herman Cain before 2015 ended.
Big mistake.
You missed the point. You claimed that the MSM publish fake polls when it’s ways to go before the actual elections so Trump’s abysmal poll numbers against Hilary are false. So explain why the MSM have had Trump in the lead for the GOP primaries for 6 months already, long before the actual primaries. That puts the lie to your claim.
