Hold on folks. Trump's about to make a comeback. [View all]

Just the feeling I'm getting. Frankly we all should know that this will tighten up, it has to. The media is dying for a horse race and Trump is going to do what he has to to give them one.

As much as we want to ridicule what he actually says (and has said) the massses are just going to be told that he's looking "Presidential" and hear only the best 20 seconds of his daily speech. He's going to visit flooded Louisiana which fits perfectly to this new approach.

Has he already made too big an ass of himself for people to take him seriously? We'll see but trust me he's coming back. Just a feeling I get.

BTW -this Iran payment thing is not going to help either. The press is about to unload on President Obama and his approval rating directly affects to election.

Hold on folks, it's about to get rocky.
