It’s pretty clear to me that from Rush and his producers through the rest of the right-leaning media cluster, FR has long been an invaluable resource. (Though few such media members own up to it openly.)
Not only were the likes of Mark Levin, Lucianne and Jonah Goldberg, and IIRC Ann Coulter acknowledged posters back in the day, but I am confident that Trump has been a long-time FReeper as well, though presumably primarily as a lurker. My guess is that that is a fair part of how he has managed to have his thumb on the pulse of the electorate so marvelously. Of course, he’s somewhat busy right now, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he were still checking in from time to time, as he fights not to become isolated in the WH bubble.
