Anyway, I see similarities. Whether or not they will be validated or not remains to be seen, however at this early point, the race to the GOP nomination AND the White House is Trump’s to lose. If he stays on message, I don’t think he can be stopped. I agree that it is his to lose...and the best way to lose it is for him to continue to be ultra-sensitive to criticism. I'd like to see him become a LITTLE more like a politician (of the good variety) - IOW, put forth policies (yeah, I know, they are coming), get informed on foreign and defense policy, and stop the petty attacks on fellow Republicans (even Bush). Criticize them for bad policies, a bad record, etc., but stop with the personal attacks. Let the others do that, because otherwise you give the media more ammo. Trump, unfortunately, created Fiorina's perceived win in the last debate - without those remarks about her face, and her response to it in the debate, there would be nothing very memorable in her performance.

I agree somewhat with the criticisms, however, it is working. Look at Bush’s #s. And Fiorina would have had a strong performance anyway. She was allowed to be in the debate by CNN creating an 11th position on faulty poll #s. She is the flavor of the day, as was Bush, as was Kasich (remember him?) as was Carson (until the Muslim comments, then he was dropped by the media as a darling like a hot potato), now it’s Fiorina. If you’ve noticed, even her stock has dropped some as her record becomes known and now the MSM is on to how wonderful Rubio is. It will continue like that through all the candidates, heck, even Christie will probably have his obligatory day in the sun unless he continues to hover around 0%. The other candidates have nothing and the media has nothing but Trumped (no pun intended) up stories. Notice how there’s been almost nothing from Trump’s past that has come out? Don’t you think the other candidate’s and MSM research would have produced that already? Trump is keeping his powder dry as long as he can on his policies/positions...and why not? He still has leads in all the polls.
