The problem for the other GOP presidential candidates is that people seem to like it.

Trump is leading the crowded Republican field.

His comments dismissing John McCain's war hero status had the rest of the candidates calling for Trump to drop out of the race.

For now, he is not going anywhere.

Trump is almost assured of a spot on the stage for the first debate next month.
