Yeah. A lot of people still do at this point. It's amazing that for a couple months he doesn't do much and all the sudden people are freaking about him 'not having momentum' or whatever. At this point in 2015, no Republican had announced, the first was Cruz in March.
This is pretty close to how I feel. Everyone is talking about 'hype' currently because it's so early there isn't much else to talk about in the context of the Presidential primary. The first primary/caucus is 11 months away. If hype determined who was the nominee we would have President Ben Carson.
