Trump doesn't need to spend a dime to get his message out. trump doesn't have to run an ad. trump doesn't have to run a series. he doesn't have to pay people to show up. he doesn't have to buy tv advertising, because he gets more coverage than the combined advertising the rest of the republicans could buy. and aside from the overwhelming, significant upset that is, the very fact of all that ticks them off. donald trump has direct access to his supporters. and you know who gives it to him? the media.
