8. Don't get Trumped

Saying Trump "leads the polls" is somewhat misleading.
He is leading in polls of the 20 % of Republicans who will actually vote in the primaries. That's it.
The GOP has been mired at the 20% level in voter turnout in their own primaries for decades.
These same tactics were used in the elections where McCain-Palin and Romney-Ryan ran. From the numbers it appears as if their is some national support where there is none.
Most Americans are not the least bit interested in the GOP, let alone their candidates. Hell, most of them are not even paying attention right now. And when they do pay attention, they're certainly not going to look at Trump, the Clown, or Cruz the Canadian, as viable candidates.
Everybody is getting played by the big money, including the parties and the media. And not just the MSM, even the alternative media is getting all caught up in this nonsense. Trump this, Trump that.
The only thing truly getting Trumped is any sort of sane discussion and dialogue between Americans with regard to their nations future.
Left and Right together are being baffled by the bullshit, and even covering this manure pile as if it were important makes me really worry about the well being of my American Cousins.
