19. Mr. Rather hits it right on the head...

It's been obvious from the outset that the media has wanted a Trump Vs. Hillary matchup and that this race is a lot closer than it should be because of it. If he manages to win or even lose by less than 15 points it's a direct result of how much coverage he's gotten. He's the absolute worst candidate in history (there have been other horrible people who've run, but no one so outrageously unqualified and just plain dumb).

I will never understand how Trump is being taken seriously (by anyone - forget the Right) as a potential President, and if I had to venture a guess, he probably feels the same way and never thought he'd make it this far. Even he is probably shocked at how gullible Republicans are.
