NBC has always been Trump Network. They created him.

Now they milk him for ratings on the "Celebrity Presidential Candidacy Show"!

It is disgusting.

I'm watching Trump on MSNBC right now -- the first time I have watched for more than a couple minutes.

People need to see this. It is astounding; this is the rhetoric of the sweet song of fascism.

Now that I'm listening to this guy I can see why Trump has such appeal to so many Repuglicans.

I think he will lose if nominated, but once this kind of shit gets stirred up, it doesn't settle very fast.

10. Well, one thing was that people discounted him ...

... he looked crazy, he sounded crazy to so many average Germans, they didn't take him seriously.

Until is was too late.

So, in reference to the OP, I say it is just so important to pay attention to what this Trump guy is saying.

8. Wasn't his "reality show" on NBC? Won't his next one be as well?

Shocking that the channel that airs his show would air him on their sister news network.

First, the Apprentice.

Second, NbC sports plays his golf tournament (Which, BTW, is played on a fantastic golf course. Gil Hanse, who built the new Olympic course - another NBC property, redid Dick Wilson's Blue Monster at Doral. Doral is owned by Trump. Dick Wilson, while a drunk, did Dubsdread and a NLE course that was a barrel of monkeys, Plum Tree National. And about 100 other courses. But I digress. )

Third, he does Morning Joe all the time, and he moves the needle.

MSNBC, and all of their employees, are all paid liars. Get over it. I believed in Santa Claus too at one point.

17. Considering every time he is on there people rush here to talk about it

I would say they got the train wreck factor nailed.

If it gets this place so excited I am sure the rest of the country is eagerly awaiting the next train wreck footage as well.
