How Trump won: He didn’t let the media mis-define him, and neither did you

And he'll approach the race against Hillary in the same way.

It may not be officially official until the Republican convention in July, but Donald Trump last week passed the 1,237-pledged delegate mark, essentially making him the Republican nominee for president. To get a sense of just how extraordinary this is, think back to last summer and fall when the entire world of political punditry was so sure he had no chance, they treated this belief as if it was an unassailable fact.

But Trump just rolled on as the candidates dubbed by the media as the “serious” contenders fell away. Scott Walker never even made it to the Iowa caucuses. Jeb Bush was an early drop-out. Marco Rubio didn’t come close in his native Florida. John Kasich won nowhere aside from his own home state of Ohio. And Ted Cruz put up a really good fight – pretty much the only good fight – but when his firewall collapsed in Indiana he knew it was over.

Not to mention a ton of cross over votes from the Democrats and 24/7 coverage from the Liberal Media. Naturally, neither one of these groups will be in Trump’s corner in November. All according to plan.

Enjoy!

Trump is a street fighter and the media doesn’t know how to handle him and Hillary is wetting her pant suits. Look he goes right at the problem, the lying reports, Hillary the Felon and shows no quarter. Straight, simple to the heart. Those who deals in smoke and mirrors have had their mirrors broken and the smoke blown away to expose weak, lying, self serving individuals. Better yet Trump does his own fighting not some informed source, unnamed source, someone close to the campaign. America loves a leader and he is.

The Man That Owes Nobody Nothing, cannot be threatened or intimidated. Therefore if he is attacked, he will defend by attacking more. As it has been shown this week, the feely-me-y substitutes for journalists attempted to corral his usage of the polittically correct lexicon of the English language, and failed, right to their face.

GEAUX Mr. Trump!

Completely wrong.

Trump will garner more crossover votes since Reagan in 84.

And, Trump will continue to have the press against him as has been the case since before he announced. Just because his primary opponents were either of no interest to people, or were too cautious to dare appear in unfriendly territory, doesn’t equate to a “plan” to promote Trump by the media.

Enjoy!

If only we had nominated Ted Cruz, right? Sure, he'd get creamed in a landslide by Hillary! but you could feel good about principles and stands and such, as the nation burns and completes a slouch into a fascist/socialist State...

I wonder if it bothers Howie that Ronald Reagan was elected with widespread support from Reagan Democrats.

Sometimes stupid is its own punishment.
