For those who wonder why Trump is doing so well, the numbers are in.
Trump has 78 % of the prime time coverage of CNN, or 10 times more than Bush, and 70 times more than Walker.
So, no surprise he is still way up in the polls. It is also a huge bonanza for him, that he evaluated at $ 15 million. I wonder whether the FEC has a recourse with that.
Anyway, given the fact that CNN is hardly the only one doing that, this election has become a huge reality show. Shockingly, I watched a few minutes of the Heritage event today, and, considering that they are right wing and all, it was a much better event asking questions about policies, not stupid questions like Tapper asked this week. (I stopped, as I can only take RW propaganda in limited quantity or it becomes bad for my health).
