Donald Trump has something that Ross Perot didn't have and couldn't get: that recognition factor. Trump has been in the headlines since the early 1980s. That TV show he used to do was a top rated reality series. Ross Perot kind of appeared almost out of nowhere. And the media never treated Perot as anything but a quirky character with a couple of curious ideas. Trump is not getting that short shrift.
What would Trump actually "DO" as president? That is a completely different discussion. My only point right now is that he is a viable candidate, based on everything we're seeing, and that he has a chance to get to the Convention, maybe win the Republican nomination and be a serious challenger all the way to Election Day.
