EDITORIAL: Why Does Everyone Treat Donald Trump Like He's An Idiot?

Don't Poke The Bear.

Now Trump will be he first one to verbally recount his long, successful resume at the drop of a hat, yet for some reason it just doesn't seem to take with his political competitors, they all treat him like he just fell off the turnip truck and regard him as a wasteful diversion hogging the spotlight from the "real" contenders.  From deep within their campaign bunkers, each day they are become more painfully aware of just how smart Trump really is.  But then ...

Who would've thought it'd be Donald Trump?  

It's true.  Trump has the entire Republican Party over a barrel and they know it.  They hate it too, I'm sure.  As long as Trump's numbers stay up, he's effectively LOCKED OUT every other Republican Contender from any chance of becoming the next President.

Sneaky, here's a list of a few of Don's Two-Bit Hacks:

• Trump has self-appointed himself ringleader and taken center ring in the media spotlight.  
• Trump made no promises not to go independent from the Republican Party which gives him the leverage to squash any chance the Republicans have at getting into the White House should they not choose to support him.  
• With a dynastic political agenda already adding up to twenty years in the White House, Donald Trump has effectively locked Jeb Bush out of any chance at becoming President before his campaign got off the ground.  (Providing Trump's numbers stay up.)  That's quite a power play to knock heads with a powerful political family when you have no prior experience.  
• With a mere suggestion, "You're Having a Hard Time Tonight", Mr. Trump knocked Rand Paul clean out of the running.  With a crowded field of 17 candidates, this one line that stuck was all it took to wipe out Paul's progress in the polls and put him completely off the radar.  You can't show weakness with Trump. 
• Megyn Kelly Debacle:  Trump absent-mindedly made a remark that sounded like he was referring to the Journalist's menstrual cycle.  Critics blasted Trump and Trump fired back just as hard.  Between Friday and Monday, Trump had fueled so much animosity towards Reporter Kelly that the Fox Network reportedly implied it had to add additional security for her protection from all the angry bloggers on the interweb.  
• Lindsay Graham:  Gave out his cell phone number, knocked him out of the race and made him break his cell phone, (or at least several cell phones for his joke video).  Someone needs to tell that poor guy the number isn't burned into the phone, he can just call the phone company and they'll give him a new number for a small fee.  

Whether you like Trump or hate Trump, you've got to give him at least some credit.  He is tough as nails and one smart cookie.  He's proving over and over again that he really does have what it takes to do the job he's applying for.
