During an interview on the FOX Business Network's Mornings with Maria, Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay lashed out against the media for protecting Donald Trump.
"The media won't report what's really happening on the ground... They will not investigate Donald Trump. When have you seen a story written about Donald Trump's sleazy business practices? There's plenty of stories out there about that. The media is protecting Donald Trump either because they want him to be the nominee against Hillary Clinton or they're big buddies of his. Most of the media comes from New York and they are buddies," he said. ..... < snip >
..... DeLay argued that the lack of detail on waste-fraud and abuse, spending and foreign policy was "very embarrassing for Donald Trump in the last Fox News debate and hasn't resonated with his core followers.
"Thirty-five percent are going with Trump... There's 64 percent that aren't going with Trump and the media refuses to speak up and talk to the 65 percent that are not voting for Trump," he said. ..... < snip >
..... So are Republicans handing over the election to Clinton? DeLay says, it's a ploy by Democrats to cover up their flawed candidate.
"Clinton is a flawed candidate, the Democrats are voting in our primaries because they want a flawed candidate to run against — and there is no bigger flawed candidate than Donald Trump. His character, his business practices, he's not a conservative. They would just love to run against Donald Trump because that will cover up the fact that they have a flawed candidate," he said. ..... < snip >

The media? Lol.. He spends his time at MSNBC.. Not my media type.. I don’t even like Fox. Nah, Trump was selected by the GOPE long before the very first primary.. He has a record of supporting Single Payor, crony capitalism... He is everything a democrat could desire in a republican. I am not thrilled about this KKK mess either. He’s prob gonna haul me off, or punch me in the mouth, cause that’s the classy coward he is. Never trump.
You're a z-grade troll and everyone knows it. Ugly Puppy. Checked Drucker's Twitter page? Demented anti Trump vitriol. Are you Drucker?
I think they just started by seeing him as amusing and, following the old adage that “if it bleeds, it leads,” covered him heavily for the entertainment value.
But it turned out they were doing free advertising for him. Trump has gotten almost 1,000 minutes of airtime, while Cruz has gotten about 300 and Rubio only about 150.
It was, in a sense, the media that turned him into the thing Americans love the best, a celebrity. And it seems to be a media agreement that celebrities are beyond reproach and beyond questioning. You’d think that when he started threatening them if the dared to ask questions, they would have fought back, but I think they waited too long to get serious.
While I do think there’s media and Dem hope that he’ll be the candidate so that Hillary can win, mostly I think it was just the American media’s automatic celebration of trash and cheesiness that got him started.
No. They’re waiting
“.....Tom DeLay lashed out against the media for protecting Donald Trump.”......
He can’t be serious, the media “protecting Trump?” I see just the opposite, the media whores are in bed with the GOP on this one. Look at what Fox interviewers did in the debate “circus”.
If ignorance really is bliss, you must be having 24 hour-a-day orgasms.
How the mighty have fallen.
Glad to see that the Donald’ s disciples are devouring another good man. It’s getting hard to keep track of all the conservative icons that are now verboten.
It’s so fun to watch us eat our own, there isn’t a movement conservative left standing at this point.
Maroons
Does anybody think they don’t have anything on this guy?
They’re saving the attacks on him for when he is the nominee. Then they will DESTROY him, and in walks another Clinton
At least, he isn’t a lying Harvard-educated lawyer and DC politician.
I was a Cruz fan until he showed his true colors at the Iowa caucus. Since then, I have watched him lying and when not lying, quibble, which is even worse.
Take your Cruzz and shove him where the sun don’t shine!
I think after today the CruZaders will be crest fallen.
bttt
That is the best attack you can come up with?
John Q Public does not care about a Tower that Trump leases his name to
Try again
And the GOPe is on our side?
You are more delusional then the Trump supporters
I think you’ve said enough to get anyone interested in the truth to get working and learn it about Ted. It’s out there.
Look at the research effort on Trump, and realize the lack of one on Ted.
That’s not true at all.
That had been pulled for decades though.
That’s true about it not being true.
I spent eight months having to correct the same people over and over that Trump wasn’t for single payer health care.
The Druz folks still don’t know or admit his platform is essentially Reagan’s with the addition of an immigration fix.
Oh yes he was said to be anti guns too.
I have had not joUst one, but numerous Cruz supporters tell me Trump was screwing me from behind.
Don’t lecture me about vile posts.
Now you know good and well that Mr. Trump would never do that.
He will just get his minions whipped up into a frenzy until they assault you for him.
You are delusional.
You are so confused you don’t know which way is up.
Try to learn at least some things about both candidates.
Start with the GOPe favorite between the two and try to figure out why.
Look at ALL the people against Trump.
Were those people your friends?
GOPe
RNC
DNC
Media
International Leftists
If he was a Leftist, all these folks would support him. Are they?
What’s your explanation for that?
