A Note About Our Coverage Of Donald Trump's 'Campaign'
HuffPo ^

Posted on 07/17/2015 10:01:35 AM PDT by bryan999

After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won't report on Trump's campaign as part of The Huffington Post's political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

Ironically this is probably good for Trump. I think that in the 21st century the opinion makers anymore are increasingly women. They consume this gossip/entertainment stuff, they come to think of celebrities as people they know personally somehow, and they obtain "social proof" from celebrities that position X is the right one politically. Then they tweet it out and Facebook post it incessantly to others in their circle making all of them feel like outsiders if they don't conform. It's how dems can gin up a fake war on women overnight and take out several candidates in a few days.

So if they insist Donald is a celeb, and the put his campaign news on the celeb pages that same process could actually work in his favor.

The funny thing is, they would treat any of the asinine spewings from people like Ben Affleck and George Clooney as serious political news.

What children. Never matured beyond the College level. And if Trump does not suspend his campaign, next they will stamp their feet and hold their breaths.

Putting Trump on the entertainment pages gives him a bigger megaphone with which to reach the Low Information crowd than he would have on the politics pages. Win - Trump.

...Trump’s ‘Campaign’...

Notice the italics around the word ‘Campaign’?

The actual word apparently causes uneasiness and outright fear in those libs.

This from a site founded by a woman who did a national book tour in a bed with Al Franken?

I thought the Kardashians wrote the Puff Ho content always using a nom de plume.

This is a sign of their primal, brainstemmy fear that Trump might win POTUS.

They are doing their best to Alinsky him and this is their childish way of being dismissive.

Their fear betrays their true feelings about Trump.

I am thinking more and more each day that he will win POTUS or VPOTUS.

He would be a fantastic President or VP.

You notice they don’t question the legitimacy of a Hillary campaign. Whereas that is a fake campaign if there ever was one.

Really, is there no one in the Demcrat party who wants to be president? No one is willing to run against her? She is the emptiest of empty suits and no one will run against her?

Then you think back to the way the Clintons do business, the hundred-name dead list, the private detectives, the IRS and FBI attacks, and then you understand. Democrats fear the Clintons. They admire them, they toady up to them, and they literally fear them.

Nonsense.

No serious person with even a tiny shred of political sense thinks Donald Trump will win the GOP nomination, let alone be elected POTUS. Trump has total name recognition and is throwing red meat out to the base. This will give him a few months at the top, ala Herman Cain of 2012 (and others), but it won't last.

And good grief, people need to quit with the "they are terrified of him/her" silliness. It nonsense to think that every time the left ridicules or tears down a conservative (which Trump isn't by the way) that it means they are "terrified". Are we terrified of Bernie Sanders? No, but we still make fun of him. Are we terrified of Alan Grayson? No, but again, we still make fun of him - and lots of other lefties too.

I guess everyone does their own useful categorizing and I've always had HuffPo in the not worth reading category.
