Will Trump be gone by Labor Day?

I watched the entire horrific interview/lecture on Alex Wagner's show, and at the end of it, after ripping the living shit out of him, the panel seemed to agree that he is merely entertainment during the summer doldrums and will be gone by labor day.

Really-- he has no friends, no matter how he proclaims everyone loves him. The press is fully aware he's a joke, but without him they might have to explain Greece so he's cheap ratings fodder.

Even Fox has to know that to side with him is poison. As much as I dislike the views of that Kelly person, I have to admit she's got a brain, can debate a point, and is at least consistent and will not suffer fools. I wouldn't mind seeing her eat Hannity for lunch over Trump. And then have Trump for dessert.

shows such as limpballs and O'Lilly call themselves entertainment--?? As long as ratings go up--or stay even--the Dump will stay in view IMHO

In a field that big someone who gets 30% may end up winning. He will have plenty of money. In addition he gets all that free coverage.

I'd bet a lotta money--if I had some--that he does not want to reveal his financial worth, which I'd also bet is much less than he says it is.

the last few times out.

Get every scrap of PR out of it and quit before it gets serious.

He's worth a couple of hundred million, not 8 billion as he claims.

He'll never let that truth come out.

I don't expect to see him at the more serious debates. He'll be long gone by then.
