Even Trump’s most trusted advisors didn’t expect him to fare this well.
Almost a year ago, recruited for my public relations and public policy expertise, I sat in Trump Tower being told that the goal was to get The Donald to poll in double digits and come in second in delegate count. That was it.
The Trump camp would have been satisfied to see him polling at 12% and taking second place to a candidate who might hold 50%. His candidacy was a protest candidacy.

“The hard truth is: Trump only cares about Trump.”
Of course. Then again, replace Trump with any other politician’s name and it’s also a true statement.
“And here’s what he tapped into: the unprecedented, unbelievable anger.”
Yep. And regardless of this election, and maybe, especially if Trump looses, where is that anger going to be re-directed? Think it’s going away? Doubtful. Reap what you sow peeples.Report
Let me try that. Hillary only cares about Hillary. Yep it is true.Report
I don’t think any of the current crop of presidential candidates have egos any smaller than the size of our sun (and I’m including the saintly Bernie.) The choice is whether they plan to glorify themselves by being administrators or gods.Report
