Is Trump trumping himself - does anyone care?

It is probably a no-brainer to respond to Donald Trump's outbursts these days. The comments that are front and forward these days are the ones he uttered about John McCain's status as war hero.
It just seems that more people need to chime in. 

In last Sunday's New York Times Frank Bruni compared Donald Trump with Silvio Berlusconi in Italy. Obviously there are legitimate comparisons - wealth, power and ego being just some of these. However, Berlusconi actually has been a political power in Italy. Trump is just a wannabe. Let's face it, Donald Trump is a narcissistic windbag surrounded by discordant wind chimes who finally developed the courage to voice their disagreement with whatever comes out of his mouth. Most of his Republican  opponents in the presidential race are very happy he made the disparaging comments he made last Saturday. The only contestant not too happy, I suppose, is Hillary Clinton, who benefitted from the extreme move towards the right in the Republican Party. The latest poll still has Trump at 24%, well ahead of Walker and Bush.

Let's see where it all ends up. The contest is getting more interesting.
