Rush,

I think you're close.

What bothers CNN is not that there is someone who thinks like Trump, it's that Trump's Twitter is a two-way street.

It's not that Trump's tweets go over the head of the MSM and reaches the people directly, it's that a single person can tweet something that gets the direct attention of the President of the United States.

Well said! You could write any number of letters to CNN or the White House and never get a reply. One tweet got the attention of CNN, the White House, and millions of others. This IS something NEW!

For someone who claims not to have a Twitter account RL has a remarkably detailed knowledge of its content each and every day.

Dear Rush: pull the other leg. It has bells on it.

Another brilliant aspect of using Twitter is that when Trump tweets something controversial, the media covers it. If he were to say the same thing, they would ignore it. Thus, they are spreading his message for him.
