Trump is now breaking one of the oldest rules of show biz

He is becoming over exposed.

Every where I go lately, when he comes on the screen, people are saying that they can't get away from him.

"He's on every channel day and night," I heard a lady say. "I'm just tired of looking at him."

I'm truly seeing the signs of Trump fatigue setting in. I know that he has his rabid do or die followers, but American attention spans are short, and so many are looking for a new distraction.

I'm sorry I mean PUSH.

He knows he almost has it. The media is covering him more than anyone else too - everyone is holding rallies and events everyday at this point.

I'm good, but I'm not that good!

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a42493/christie-endorses-trump/

Christie and He, Trump have been running buddies for a while. They share similar temperaments and speaking styles. They both dislike Ted Cruz, which gives the two of them something in common with the rest of humanity. Christie kamikaze'd himself into Marco Rubio in New Hampshire, a move that benefitted He, Trump more than anyone else. And now, on the day after a debate in which the elite pundit class thought Rubio dinged Trump up worse than he'd been dinged all year, here comes Big Chicken to the rescue as the entire world echoes with the sound of thousands to TV cameras being swiveled back to the entertaining burlesque attraction of a vulgar talking yam.


And I want to see someone make an animated vulgar talking yam, with hordes of supporters with sheep's heads and brown shirts moving and baaing in unison!
