I don't think anyone takes him seriously at this point, who's opinion actually matters anyway. This and a whole host of other things is working against him. If he actually does win, it'll only reveal how much power campaign funding actually has. He assumes Mexican-Americans only vote democrat, so he says all the stuff he says. Looking at past elections though, they were actually a key demographic in Republican wins. The Republican party could be alienating a key demographic simply by having him in the primary race.

He's more than just a spectacle and I believe his rise in the polls speaks more to the power of demagoguery than money.
