It's especially obvious since I'm fairly certain that Trump wouldn't be where he is without all of the negative publicity following him through his campaign. It's his key tactic to build recognition (which, in the end, is more important than policy, race, party, or any other reason people vote for someone).

Exactly. He could easily dumb it down and act normal, but people think he's saying crazy things on accident. Not at all. He's acting crazy so people will talk about him thus increasing his popularity. I'm sure 90% of the things he says he doesn't even believe himself.

IT'S THE MEDIA'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!

Well duh, that's the most important part of being a demagogue.

Also this whole ordeal is better publicity than if the media were to do some honest to god reporting and actually talk about the content of the speeches.

I'm never 100% sure of whatever Chula is on about at the time, but probably this Melania Trump Republican Convention Speech Bears Striking Similarities to Michelle Obama Address - NBC News.

You guys already covered the mundanity of it so I won't bother. I'm unsure as to what else Trump supporters would do other than laugh at the move.

**Frownland** · 07-19-2016, 04:51 PM

Agreed.

They already blamed Hilary.

They don't even need to know the question to know that it's Hillary's fault.
