I seems clear at least some people have decided that Trump will not be able to contest the election uncontested. Which is very understandable. But very ignitable too.

On the other hand, if his rallies keep turning into riots, that will not help him get elected, and may offer the pretext to do something about him directly.

And I agree with the Wallace analogy, that's who he is channelling in his reality TV way.

It deserves to be remembered that Wallace apologized for his behavior in the end.
