The "standard model" of media-driven politics is accept politics as reality, and work backward from there.

Trump's model is accept reality as reality, and work forward from there.

This is why the media side of the media-politics symbiosis doesn't work with him.

Exactly! I reread Art of the Deal shortly after Trump announced. He is approaching this campaign with ONE goal...to win. That is how he defines success. And like you suggest it won’t stop when he becomes President. Because then there are a multitude of other things to compete at and win.

I’ve been waiting for someone serious to delve into the Trump phenomenon.

And, adding to all that .. a caller into Rush’s program said he thought the statements by Trump were a political ploy to get all the attention .. even though one poll was showing Cruz ahead of Trump .. Trump’s statements last night put the whole conversation back on Trump.

Very, very clever.

And .. it didn’t hurt Cruz.

“has in one sense a party and in another sense no party at all”

Remember Reagan: I didn’t leave the Democrat party, it left me.

Bah.
Interesting, but Trump’s ‘secret’ is that his positions appeal to both conservatives and moderates.
That’s a winning coalition.
An unbeatable one.

The wasteland he makes of the media is nice too.
But he can only demolish them because he has an unbeatable coalition behind him.
