Donald Trump climbs in presidential GOP race

Donald Trump is running for president of the United States and the more that’s being said, the more it’s starting to become a realization that it’s actually possible.

Usually in tough situations like this we try to find someone to blame and rarely is it both sides of the story at fault. But both leftists and conservatives have teamed up in one of the most interesting presidential races ever to serve as the fuel behind Trump’s raging fire of a campaign.

Trump is actually crushing the GOP polls and it really shouldn’t be surprising. It seemed like an actual fantasy to picture that man as America’s president, but he’s riding high at 27.8%, when he had only 6.5% to his name in the beginning of July, according to RealClearPolitics. Why is the man who told Jorge Ramos “Go back to Univision” a serious contender for the president of this country?

Trump built his whole fortune at a peak in the 80s, he was a yuppie’s yuppie, and now, he’s truly the conservative’s conservative. He’s winning the hearts and minds of the conservative middle and lower class people of this country.

“We know his goal is to make America great again,” a woman who attended a Trump focus group said, “It’s on his hat.”

These are the voters who don’t care about political correctness, the one’s who think it’s the immigrants who are destroying the American Economy. Donald Trump is literally talking out of thin air and it’s working, he’s a genius.

He realizes his audience, he understands his majority voters, he knows the ridiculous things he says work. And in the joke that is the American presidential race, craziness prevails. More importantly, craziness sells.

Conservative networks that thrive off of controversy like FOX News are averaging numbers in the millions. FOX News has been averaging 1.7 million viewers a day, while MSNBC is gaining viewers at less than half of that, at 589 thousand viewers (according to a mediate study).

Ben Carson is polling at 13.2%, putting him in second place on the GOP race, but he still has a long way to go. He’s having a surge in media coverage, sharing around 7% of media coverage and National Polling numbers, but it’s obvious that he’d get much more coverage if he said something outlandish like Trump does.

“Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I’m sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue,” Carson wrote in his book, “America the Beautiful”

Trump likes to show his views on immigration in a different light.

@RobHeilbron: @realDonaldTrump #JebBush has to like the Mexican Illegals because of his wife.” Trump retweeted a little over 3 months ago.

It’s not like Carson is the best fit for the country, in fact he’s definitely not, but there’s a reason you hear so much about Donald Trump’s views and not Carson’s.

The media has given up all it’s morals and seeped its fingers into the news world. No one cares about Bernie Sanders or even a conservative who believes in the reinforcement of the Mexican Border Wall like Ted Cruz, because these people are speaking like politicians.

To put things in perspective, Trump had over 30 minutes to speak in the first Republican Debate, Jeb Bush had little over nine. CNN calls him a “ratings machine.”

An analysis of the GOP candidate coverage on The New York Times web site showed that Trump has been mentioned 318 times from August 7 to 22, Bush had less than half of that at 180, and every other candidate was mentioned less than 120 times.

Trump is saying a crazier thing every single week and it’s working, and it’s both the liberal’s and conservative’s fault for giving him coverage. It’s liberal outlets like MSNBC, upping their coverage of Trump, who are fueling the presidential sprint of Trump.

Ramos should go back to Univision in all honestly, he should go back and never look behind. He should go back and tell all his coworkers that maybe the extra commission check he’s going to get on reporting on Trump won’t be worth it, but the network would never let him do that.

So maybe it’s in your hands. Maybe you should stop talking about him, if you’re a die hard conservative who believes global warming is a hoax and sanctioning Iran is a great idea, you’re in luck. But if you’re a liberal, I suggest you reinforce those blind spots and block that man from your vision at all sight.
