It helps that the media give him full attention and help him a lot.

While True, if his message was crap then the attention would have hurt him more.

Part of his message was "I want none of that standard politician bullshit, I just want to make America great again", which has meant that he needed to keep his Super PAC donations low and focus his campaign here in America (rather than travel overseas to meet with foreign leaders), so getting the extra word-of-mouth from the mainstream media can almost be viewed as an essential part of his campaign strategy.

That's just another point in his favor--he knows how to get the media to work for him.

Yup, he isn't stupid and that taco salad thing was just brilliant, getting the entire media trying to figure out how to get offended (but couldn't) by it was hilarious and it was just free advertising for him.

Yup, that's his main quality imo. He knows how to play the medias and the medias like him (personally). Heck, they built his persona over decades and now he is using them wonderfully.

Nothing kills a bad product faster than good advertising.
Trumps product is great.

They kept trying to take him down. Giving him more airtime to show that he is the boogie man and try to make him a laughing stock. It didn't work.
