That's true, he always generates a lot of coverage and headlines. That's worked in his favor, for the most part, thus far.
But, it could really hurt him as his rhetoric becomes more and more extreme, and I think yesterday's call for a ban on all Muslims entering the country is going to hurt him more than any of the other shit he's spewed thus far. His "ban the Muslims" spiel may help him maintain his core support group, but I'd be very surprised if the RNC delegates would remotely consider giving Trump the Republican nomination now.
He's getting slammed by both parties in the media over yesterday's comments, hard. I'm glad to see some of his fellow Republicans, including Paul Ryan, Ben Carson and Lindsey Graham, telling the public that bans based on religion are anti-American, unconstitutional, and would not garner Congressional approval.
