Keller @ Large: Trump Should Listen To Young Reporter

BOSTON (CBS) - As Donald Trump sat down with Stephen Colbert, his stalled poll numbers suggest he'd do well to listen up to the analysis of 8-year-old Shayna Rose of Southborough who covered a recent Town Hall in New Hampshire for the newspaper she publishes at her elementary school.

"I really liked how he let people ask any question that they'd like to know," Shayna said. "At a lot of rallies I've seen they will just talk and they won't let anyone speak to them or anything."

"A lot of people were like laughing when he said things," Shayna said. "He just kept their attention with humor and he's just so personable."

A pretty good summary of what gave Trump the lead. But to keep it, he might want to heed the advice of Shayna's parents, Chris and Julie Rose, intrigued by Trump, but not yet sold.

"I wonder how other world leaders would interact with him," Chris said. "I think his style works for voters, I don't know how it would work for other world leaders."

"Maybe he should take it to another level of a little more maturity," Julie said.
