Trump is showing that if you oppose him (in Kelly's case, asking offensive even if true statements leading into a loaded question meant to torpedo his candidacy) he will act like a dog with a bone and not let go. He's showing everyone else they can engage him negatively at their own peril.
The Trump candidacy is capitalizing on the US disillusionment of the political class. Look at what Obama represented as a turning point in US politics, then consider what actually transpired... from "Hope" to "Nope".
Trump is a world class jackass. I don't like him, but I'm enjoying the rejection of the traditional candidates. The means will justify the ends in this case, Trump is actually helping. He is injecting into the race everything we all know is wrong in US politics, and there will be a huge fallout as a result. The candidate who emerges will need to grasp action as a key element of their campaign, not mere promises or ideals.
