No Pivot Here: Trump Asks, Why Would I Tone It Down When I'm 'Winning?'

I'm sure this will get downvoted...

But if you look at the polls, about a week ago he was in the lead.

He hasn't done much in that week, he said some usual arrogant stuff, that's it, same stuff as usual.

I think for him to go from winning, to being that far gone, in such little time, by doing nothing different, shows that this was probably not really his own doing. The Khan comments were barely anything.

The media has been unrelentless towards him, absolutely unrelentless. I'm not saying there aren't things to bash him about, but they had the dial up to 7, but now they've put it to 10. It is just way way over the top.

This stuff really is only helping him. This is essentially just giving him attention, not literally making new people dislike him. When the media blows something out of proportion, it ONLY helps Trump. And you can tell that it is out of proportion by the swift swing in the polls.

Everywhere I look, it is all about Trump. Does everyone forget how he got nominated in the first place? Even every republican politician was bashing him, with all the confidence that he would not win, but it just didn't work.

Every time you don't meet him with a boring response, he gets stronger. That is one of the few things we're sure about with Trump's popularity.
