Trump is playing “Rope-A–Dope” with the media
Coach is Right ^ | 9/14/15 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Donald Trump is playing Rope – A – Dope with the media and they can’t do a thing about it.

Hugh Hewitt’s recent interview of Trump brought us more insight into how much the Republican front-runner enjoys slapping around the media fools who think they can be the king killer, hero the Left is hungry for.

The game is afoot and the media just doesn’t know what to do. Their egos make them believe THEY are the longed for hero but their basic lack of credibility precludes their getting anywhere near the prize.

When Hewitt asked Trump questions about the names of various terrorists he brought to mind one of the greatest sports quotes in our lifetime. It was 1992 and Charles Barkley and the American Olympic Basketball Team, the greatest basketball team of all time, was rolling over its opponents by dozens of points. During a press conference with the international press corps, a little man stood up and spoke to Barkley in an unintelligible language. After smiling for a few seconds Barkley said, “Will somebody who speaks this guy’s language please tell him we are going to kick his country’s ass?”

Barkley’s response cut straight to the point. It doesn’t matter what language they speak or...

And dopes they are indeed. They really hate successful people....er....successful people who made it without the press lying and covering for them.

The press also hate those more intelligent than they, which explains why they hate almost everybody.

My favorite media dope Trump is playing rope-a with is Glenn Beck.

I'm usually a Beck fan but I'm enjoying the way Trump is getting Beck's Pull-Ups all bunched up.

The one who did a real good job is Jimmie Fallon. He really might almost grow into Johnny Carson's shoes.

A good reporter can respect the person they're interviewing and let them express their views without agreeing with them. We shouldn't be able to determine the personal biases of the reporter. We don't even expect that of them anymore...how sad.

Before Beck’s FNC time, he was insightful and funny.

At FNC he was serious and insightful, but began to get to take himself too seriously.

After FNC he turned into a cross between some TV evangelist, a Ron Popel style hawker nonstop and a silly 13 year old.

Now nothing Beck does or says matters to a hill of beans.

I was pleasantly surprised by Fallon's interview and thought that bit with the mirror was a hoot.

The Knee-Pad media is totally disarmed by how “disrespectfully” he treats them. So they are looking for other ways to take him down. It’s a total new ball game for them and their old playbook is NOT working, and “We the People” are NOT buying their usually bill-of-goods of propaganda/LIES anymore!!!

Its getting really funny to watch the increasing desperation as the talking heads start to lose it.

It’s truly been fun watching The Donald toy with the lame stream media chumps and the GOPe bums of the month.

Yes Donald Trump is living rent free in a penthouse inside Glen Beck's head.
