Last week, the New York Times ran the page one headline 'Pence Supports Ryan, Showing GOP Turmoil.' There was turmoil in the Republican party because Mike Pence, its vice-presidential nominee, had endorsed the candidacy of Paul Ryan, its most powerful congressman. One wonders what the Times would have called it had the two men actually disagreed about something. The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had waited days before endorsing Ryan, a signal that he had not forgotten Ryan's slowness to back him in the spring. And the whole press is now in a frenzy of negative reporting about the Trump campaign. These have been 'weeks of self-inflicted controversies and plummeting poll numbers' among Trump’s Republicans. It has been a 'meltdown', a 'cascade of blunders', a 'panic'. To judge from the headlines, Trump cannot win, because he is disrespecting the families of America's war dead, bullying babies and helping Vladimir Putin spy.
But there was no meltdown. Democrats got a polling 'bounce' after their convention that pushed Hillary Clinton back to the seven–point lead she had enjoyed at the start of summer. Trump has taken a few pratfalls, but it is well to remember that he is not the worse off for the many he took earlier in the campaign.

There is one quote I thought I would include.
"It was similar to the episode in June when Moody's Analytics, a subsidiary of the agency that misrated the world’s derivatives on the eve of the financial collapse of 2007–08, warned that Trump's economic policy would cause a recession and Clinton's would create jobs. The report was written by Mark Zandi, a Hillary Clinton donor."
Good article. At the link.
Go, Trump, GO!!
Sad that you have to go across the pond to get good journalism. But, what do I know, I am a sucker for Brit tabloids.
Great article and very heartening. Thanks for posting.
Thanks. I feel better.
bttt
Hey the British just stood up against political correctness, in a big way.
I hand it to them.
Maybe America, can do the same thing.
Priceless.
“If elected he would be the first president since John F. Kennedy to possess a sense of humour.”
Bull. Reagan had a great sense of humor. Who can forget his quip “I want you to know that I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.
And the ever funny microphone test when he said “We will begin bombing in 5 minutes,” that humorless liberals in the media almost wet themselves over.
“Sad that you have to go across the pond to get good journalism. But, what do I know, I am a sucker for Brit tabloids.”
I think that the Brits have to look to US sources for “good journalism” there too.
Most of the world’s “journalists” should be added to George Carlin’s “List of People Who Need to be Killed!”
Perfect summation of the blindness of our 'betters'.
And his hmore could be self-deprecating, too.
“Thomas Jefferson once said, ‘We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.’ And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.”
this is the closing line from a great article. I urge everyone here to read it!
If Trump runs the country like he runs his campaign, he might just put America back on the path to greatness again.
Reagan was funny, and genuinely likeable. The author didn’t need to dig all the way back for John F. Kennedy to be the last president to have a funny bone.
Besides, Trump being funny is lost on so many in our current collectives, as so many insist on he’s the worst human being possible.
However, the author did point out nicely that there is no ‘melt down’ except in certain people’s wishful thinking. These same people hold that they are a cut above us all, yet time and again it had been shown their covering fig leaf had been peeled off and their naked agenda exposed.
For those on the right that are in this crowd, all you have to wonder is WHY they never ever put in 1/5th of the effort to fight Obama & Co. (or Hillary) as hard.
I wonder if he could have mentioned his 3 month old grandson in context with the crying baby? That would have flummoxed the angry leftist elitist media.
President Reagan, from his grave, still makes me laugh.
for later
Heck, President Reagan took a bullet to the chest and was still cracking his one-liners.
