++The Donald swamped his GOP competitors on social media. Even JEB! slow-talking the news on Jimmy Fallon didn't register on social media. Jeb has a problem with his digital operation and social media anyway.
++Jennifer Rubin and Bill Kristol are worried about The Donald taking attention away from the "serious" candidates.
++Chris Hayes and Sam Seder commented on the Donald's announcement on a set that made them look like they were in a movie theater. Seder actually had some good points. The Donald is calling out the GOP on their positions. He posits his nativist message without any nuance or moderation. How are those in the GOP going to respond since they have been using dog whistle politics forever? Since the GOP is running against government, how are they going to make The Donald's lack of government experience a negative? They are now making Scott Walker's lack of a college education a plus, not a minus.
++The Mexican government has already responded to the Donald. Not even the Obama Administration would respond to Jeb referring to President Obama's tour of Cuba as "glorified" tourism. Where's the respect?
++The Donald is the Monster that ate the media. As long as he is opining, he gets the attention. The only question is whether he will really submit the papers to run. If not, he builds the audience for Celebrity Apprentice, which makes it laughable that Republican columnists worry how The Donald will endure a humiliating defeat. They don't get it--It's Win-Win.
++The more candidates enter the GOP primary, the more will be induced to follow. The Donald read that in his polls which inch into debate range because of the number of candidates.
++Did Frank Rich say in New York magazine that "Donald Trump makes Herman Cain looked like Eisenhower"? But remember when 9-9-9 Cain captured the imagination of the GOP?
++The GOP primary season is rigged to favor the front-runner going into the last primaries, where it becomes winner takes all delegates.
++In the meantime,the Donald is creating a media blackout on the there candidates.
