Trump seems to be trying to interject himself into the conversation, to ensure that he continues to get free media. Trump was able to bounce back after mediocre debate performances in the first two debates by dominating the media narrative in between the debates. Now the big story is Bush v Rubio, even though neither are front-runners the media loves the dogfight.

Note that the hedge fund manager, Paul Singer, that Trump mentions as backing open borders for Rubio is the vulture who caused Argentina to default.

What I have learned about the Republican primary process is that their campaigns are episodes of Real Housewives, with tweets like these (and regular press releases from the normal candidates) as the direct-to-camera cutaways, and the debates as the reunion specials.

Not that anyone cares, but if the election were between Sanders (with whom I agree on next to nothing, and question his competence), and Trump, I will vote for Sanders. I consider Trump just that vile and dangerous. He crosses lines seemingly 24-7 that should not be crossed. And in the end, nobody really knows what he would actually do as POTUS. His points of view change on a dime with an almost perfect correlation with what he thinks is in his best interest as to enhancing his power and money. I don't think he has any real convictions about much of anything, other than enhancing his own importance.

Pretty much. My favorite go-to comparison for Trump:

To compare Trump to Berlusconi makes him seem innocent. Trump is much, much, much more dangerous than Berlusconi ever were, and Berlusconi pretty much destroyed everything that Italy ever stood for, including its entire justice system. Yet even Berlusconi never threatened to throw 11 million Italians out of the country. And Berlusconi is probably the worst president or prime minister that Western Europe has ever seen since in the democratic parts of Western Europe since WW2 (thus leaving out General Franco and some others), so he's not exactly a saint lol. But to compare Trump with Berlusconi is almost a joke, as he clearly has much more in common with Stalin.
