They script every word he says and he pays them dearly for it. And it all fails. LOL

One thing that told me early on that there was going to be a problem for other candidates was when Hillary had raised something like 28 million and spend 25 at that point and there was a similar story for others and Trump had raised 3 million, wasn't really spending anything and really was controlling all election news anyway. "he's a clown and won't even submit his paperwork because he only cares about PR" became "well, still... he's not going to do all the financial disclosures because he's not serious" became "well, he stands no chance and in 2 weeks, he's going to be forgotten about" and so on and so on and so on and no one has been right yet and have actually been wrong about every prediction. The crocketeers of the world are understandably anxious.
Democrat, Libertarian or Republican aside, i think any reasonable person has to understand that once he starts actually spending money, he can win. In the end, no one will be able to compete with him and as you said, when they try, it usually goes badly for them anyway.
If Trump becomes the Republican candidate and it's just a cold, humorless shrew vs colorful, outgoing, funny and straight talking, I don't think Hillary can win it. Most people (dems included) have shown in poll after poll that she's not trusted. Once the sights are on her and Trump is spending 9 figures to attack her, I think she'll lose most of her support quickly.
