Scott Adams explains how Trump created a win-win situation for himself, and lose-lose for everyone else...
“Let’s shift to the third dimension and see if the view is different. For starters, tell me what you learned about all the other candidates today.
Nothing?
Trump sucked the oxygen out of the room. Again. And the issue - as always - is something we can jabber about forever. It is jabber-ready by design, so the media and the public will have no time and no brain cycles left to consider his competition.”

Trump didn't create the circumstances on his own. He stepped into the race, asserted certain proposition, and is reacting to events and criticisms.
His media prominence includes some people who view him as a train wreck, and others view him as a leader who puts American interests first. Both groups have big numbers.
Politically, he is a pariah. See 22 leaders of NR, Levin is openly disdainful, Limbaugh is more clever. Only the "extreme" politicians such as Sessions and Palin support Trump - the others see him as a lesser of two evils, but still evil.
At any rate, the battleground was established the moment Trump entered the race. But the "screw Fox News" move is reactionary on his part. He's chosen an unconventional path. People will analyze that in light of their own bias.
Are you kidding...they are getting all kinds of screen time to point out what an ass he is!!!
