Is Trump the Romney of this cycle?

He's the frontrunner, yes. But he is a complete different personality.

Agreed. Actually, I'd argue that Mr. Trump is much more politically savvy than Mr. Romney, and won't make some of the silly mistakes that were made last cycle, including maintaining an adversarial relationship with the news media, not releasing tax info, and picking the wrong VP for the ticket. I find Trump fascinating, and say what you will, his political senses are quite good and so far, he's playing the game very well.
