The almighty ACCESS.

“Well, we gotta get quotes from him, major-party candidate, big-ass pop-culture figure, dominates internet and all interviewers …” and the free showcase madness drags on.

And pretty soon, viewers and listeners just become inured. Overwhelmed. Driven not to care that much anymore. The “let’s just get this OVER WITH” crowd.

But with the donald, it’s NEVER over with. Never. And so few interviewers really take him on. Few follow-up questions. Few attempts to seriously question the shit he spews NONSTOP. I don’t understand why he’s even still a contender.
