How About Not Taking The Call?

The political chattering class (of which I am a minor member) continues to express disbelief/dismay at the "success" of The Donald.  He has maintained his position atop the polls despite spending very little money, running zero ads, and having very few organizers on the ground in primary states.

But one thing he does have is a phone.  Not only does he clog up the Twitter-verse with endless tweets about his favorite topic, himself,  he's always calling in to TV talk shows.  He's not a scheduled guest, and he doesn't make a surprise visit to the studio, he just calls in -- The Today Show, Morning Joe, Fox and Friends, and The View have all repeatedly put Trump on the air, on the phone, and allowed him to speak at length.  It's a disembodied ambush appearance.

It's also a skeezy form of free advertising worth a small fortune to Trump's campaign.  He milks it for all its worth, and the media fall all over themselves to let him get away with it, again and again.  It's diabolically effective.

Here's an idea:  How about not taking his call?
