Donald Trump is making a lot of noise, and as a Presidential candidate, he's on the rise. But, candidates that spark interest early in presidential campaigns never last in the upper atmosphere, and always come hurdling earthward once the real business of campaigning leaps into full swing. However, Trump's noise should not be ignored. He is gaining this political popularity because of his stance on illegal immigration, and despite corporations running away from him, right-of-center voters are flocking to him.
The fascinating part of all of this is that the media's reporting of all of this also reveals where they stand. When Trump said he believed criminals and rapists are crossing the border, which statistically is a valid observation, the leftist media proclaimed he was being racist and was calling all immigrants criminals and racists. So, when speaking to thousands in Arizona Mr. Trump inserted, "I love the Mexican people. I love `em. Many, many people from Mexico are legal. They came in the old-fashioned way. Legally," the media treated it as if Trump was flip-flopping.
