I don&#x27;t see the argument that Trump is trolling. He&#x27;s spent considerable time over the past several years injecting himself into the political debate, which now seems like his clear intention was to position himself as a viable candidate for the presidency.<p>He&#x27;s also reaching a point in his campaign where he&#x27;s spending considerable time preparing himself for the primary season and will also need to start spending considerable money.<p>It&#x27;s hard to really see why he would do all this in order to make Jeb Bush seem &quot;less bad&quot;. If you recall the 2012 primary, there were a similar number of candidates, but the person who won was the most moderate of them, Mitt Romney. However, in 2012, there was never really on &quot;outsider&quot; as popular as Trump. I think it&#x27;s less apt to compare Trump to Herman Cain than it is to compare him to the runs of Steve Forbes or Ross Perot.<p>Trump&#x27;s current popularity might be completed related to the fact that he isn&#x27;t coming from a political background and isn&#x27;t acting like a politician. Mark Cuban said he doesn&#x27;t necessarily support Trump&#x27;s positions, but does support the idea that we need more people like Trump involved in politics.
