>> Is Donald Trump fatigue setting in?

Dunno, but media fatigue is off the charts.

My latest dream is to see the earth slowly yawn open forming a giant crevice beneath (for example) the Yahoo! media complex — slowly swallow the entire building and all the urinalists inside — and then close up over it. When the crevice closes again, grass grows, trees sprout, birds sing...

Ditto MSNBC, Faux, CNN, New York Slimes, WaPo...

“what a wonderful world...”

Tonight CBS quoted Trump as saying he is prepared to spend as much as one hundred million of his own money to win the presidency.

20,000 in Dallas on Monday, Battleship Rally on Tuesday.. A 3-hour debate that he didn’t lose on Wednesday (despite constant incoming). Carly as a media darling... How is that a bad week?

Here is some more lefty crap from the same Michael Walsh-—

Nashville hotel cancels reservations for hate group CCC, cited by Dylann Roof

By Michael Walsh August 21, 2015 Yahoo News
http://news.yahoo.com/-nashville-hotel-cancels-reservations-for-hate-group-ccc—dylann-roof-s-inspiration-154205634.html

A Nashville hotel canceled reservations for an annual conference of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) this week after learning of the group’s white supremacist beliefs.

The Guesthouse Inn disavowed the racist organization that has been cited as an inspiration for Dylann Roof, the man charged with murdering nine African-Americans at the historically black Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., in June.

Michelle Jameson, director of sales for the hotel, told The Tennessean that she thought “about four or five rooms” were booked for this weekend at a special price for the event.

She said they would not be able to tell whether other guests were connected to the group if they did not reserve their rooms using that rate.

“This is definitely not what the Guesthouse Inn represents,” Jameson said to the local paper. “The group will not be at our hotel, nor will they ever be at our hotel.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a nonprofit dedicated to civil rights, says the CCC was founded in 1985 in St. Louis, Mo., from the ashes of old White Citizens Councils, which had fought against desegregation in the South.

Mark Potok, a senior fellow for the SPLC, said the CCC depicts any black violence against whites as racially motivated when only a small percentage of it actually is.

“They have been very tightly focused on black-on-white crime for quite a few years,” Potok said in an interview with Yahoo News. “It is an explicitly racist group. They say they oppose ‘all efforts to mix the races of mankind’ – that’s in their platform statement.”

The CCC recruited its first members from the mailing lists of the White Citizens Councils, making it their modern incarnation, Potok explained.

Red Lion Hotels Corporation, the hotel’s parent company, responded to a series of tweets from concerned citizens about the event – and confirmed that it was canceled.

Roof, 21, is believed to have written the racist manifesto that was posted to a hate website called “The Last Rhodesian,” which also includes dozens of photos showing the accused shooter burning the American flag, brandishing a gun and visiting Confederate monuments. He embraced racial hatred after learning about black-on-white crime on the CCC website, according to the screed.

“The first website I came to was the Council of Conservative Citizens. There were pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders. I was in disbelief,” the racist manifesto reads.

A board member for the group told The Tennessean that none of their members had ever heard of Roof and said that he alone is responsible for his actions.

The SLPC broke the news of the scheduled event after obtaining an email sent exclusively to CCC members. Roof’s racist manifesto brought the racist group under intense media scrutiny.

“The CCC apparently does not want to draw attention to this weekend’s gathering. The conference was not announced on its website, and major racist forums like Stormfront and VNN do not have any threads about the event,” the law center’s Hatewatch staff said in a blog post on Tuesday.

A Guesthouse Inn representative was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Yahoo News.

I don’t think $100,000,000 buys a Presidency. He’ll need $600,000,000 to give himself a shot. His shtick is fading quickly and he’ll need some seriousness to his campaign.

That would be genius. Right at the height of his silliness
Trump turns to a real serious approach, with some comic relief. I wish him luck.

They keep writing it because they are used to driving the narrative. In this case, the narrative is driving and they have no idea what to do about it.

Ain’t it grand?

Yes, the media seems to have latched on to Carly after her performance at the debate.

Oddly, they don’t seem to be pushing Ben Carson so much.

They may have given up on Bush ... I don’t see him being pushed much anymore.

The ones they fear are Trump and Cruz... the ones we like.

Liberal and conservative pundits alike agreed that Trump’s performance took a back seat...

Just a reminder to folks: this BS was predicted:

Republican establishment to attack Donald Trump after Labor Day?
