Bob Somerby objects to my headline saying that Donald Trump "is losing it": We're sorry, but no. Donald Trump isn't "losing it" at the present time.

The attendance was estimated in the 5,000 range and it was every bit of that. The Worden bars were filled with people and there were food trucks present this year and vendors.
