The beginning of the end

I doubt we'd agree on anything but the world owes
Megyn Kelly a great debt for not giving in
to Donald Trump's intimidation
The Guardian is giving one of its 'live update' reports on the run up to today's Republican Party candidates debate in Iowa. The latest update I saw (21:14 local time) begins with this paragraph
Billionaire Republican front-runner and aspiring solo (debate) artist Donald Trump gave a scorched-earth performance on the airwaves of the very network whose upcoming presidential debate he plans to boycott.
I think we're beginning to witness the beginning of the end of Donald Trump, Presidential-candidate aspirant.
I wrote these words in the Guardian's comment section.
I could be wrong here - but I think I'm not. This begins to look like the moment the ridiculous Mr. Trump suddenly grasped that the world is real after all, that the Earth is not flat, that in the cold light of day almost no one actually cares what he thinks. Running scared Donald, shouting 'look over here'. And out of time. Very soon not even his most enthusiastic supporters will be listening to a word he says. 
Snake oil salesmen get found out eventually. And he has no one to blame but himself, although for a while he will try to blame everyone and anyone who is not Donald Trump. It will begin with sackings or departures from his campaign team.
Self-serving fool.
