The Trump ‘surprise’ is actually the SURPRISE OF THE MEDIA

Trump has made name over several decades (good or bad, who knows).

During that time he has spent time on BOTH sides of R&D by the ISSUE and BY THE CANDIDATE.

He has had cable and major broadcast media presence for man years, EVERY WEEK.

As a VERY successful businessman he is confident in his judgement.

That judgment in many areas is in parallel with a great many of the people of the USA.

So why is it a shock at all that he is #2 in the GOP.

WSJ:

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney appears to be the early front-runner in the largely unformed race for the Republican nomination for president, but real estate magnate Donald Trump may be a surprise contender, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Among Republican primary voters, Mr. Romney captured the support of 21% in a broad, nine-candidate field. Mr. Trump was tied for second with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, with 17%. House Speaker Newt Gingrich got 11%, just ahead of former Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s 10%. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, considered a strong contender by political handicappers, remains largely unknown, with just 6% support. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota had 5%, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum 3%, and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbourwith just 1%.

Personally I find it most disappointing that neither Herman Cain nor Mitch Daniels show up in this poll, while someone like Santorum does.

Get ready for two things … a Trump unafraid to make headlines LIVE IN A DEBATE by saying things no ‘politician’ would ever say. And get ready for the media to attempt to Palinize him. ‘I can see Trump’s comb-over from my house’

I hope he makes fun of himself, when the inevitable occurs.

I don’t know yet if he is worthy of support, but I know he is a SERIOUS voice, a NON-POLITICAL voice, which needs to be heard.

And money is volume.
