Scarborough’s point exactly: if situation was ANY other candidate, they’d be measuring the White House drapes.

On the merits of Trump, I agree. But historically, see Santorum, Huckabee, Dean, etc. All "leading the polls," but nowhere close to being a serious contended by the time the nominating convention rolled around.

I think the press is just as overwhelmed and in a state of disbelief as the GOP is. Total denial, shock and confusion.
