Useful idiots.
Youve probably heard about the new ABC/Washington Post poll that shows Donald Trump opening up a big lead among Republican presidential contenders, pulling 24 percent of respondents compared with second-place Scott Walkers 13 percent. The political media, of course, are flabbergasted as to how Trump could possibly be doing so well given that they consider him an un-serious joke of a candidate.
I am not arguing here that Trump should be president, but in a battle of wits between Trump and the political media, Trump wins every time. And thats exactly why hes leading the race at the moment. Hes playing them like a fiddle.
Trump is showing that he is far smarter than the ‘journalist’ and pundit classes. Unlike them, he has actually been a producer. His accomplishments send them into writs of fealous jage. And the fact that he is a little rough around the edges.........
I think he’d run the country as a businessman...
Watch out “gibsmedat’s”
...love that tag line.
I agree that he is indeed playing the media like a fiddle; which actually proves his intelligence. All really successful Conservatives have to master the technique. (Not absolutely sure how completely conservative Trump is, but he has the intelligence to recognize truth. May I suggest that we, who are truly Conservative, use our own savvy to move him in that direction. His full conversion would be a major asset, whether or not he wins the nomination.)

“We Report...You Think”
Trump is the wrecking ball of PC icons.
Every polictical whore who has sought his support is now getting gorged.
Trump has had to fill their wallets for 30 years, to keep from getting an IRS audit or a project shut down.
Carly Fiorina may be the only one standing without a bucket of mud on her head when this is done. I cant see him going after her, and I cant see her attacking anyone but Hillary.
Thanks. I change it from time to time. Which reminds me Sharknado 3 comes on tonight.
This is like watching Survivor.
I think Trump is just in it to uncork 30 years of animosty on the proffesional whores of DC, including Obama, including talking head media. He has a megaphone to deride Obama on a daily basis. He gets to insult every reporter, to their face.
This is like watching a dam explode.

...who has been in bankruptcy several times
Isn’t our nation already bankrupt? Several times over.
But is today worth over 9 billion dollars...
That didn't happen.
Now they are limiting their reporting to the zingers going back and forth - I think everyone loves a fighter, so not sure how well this concept is going to go over on the voters, but the shame of it is that rather than getting actual campaign issues out in front of the voters, it's he said, he said.
I think that Trump needs to keep the media focused on the issues, but short of curtailing any replies to attacks on him, I'm not sure how he's going to do it. Guess any coverage is good coverage, but boy is it frustrating.
Really? Is there a list of hotheaded egomaniac presidential candidates who have lost? Haven't seen many nominated since, well, Kennedy.
"Trump must really hate these McCain cans!"
"Remember Snuffy"
when Obama ran he rented an entire cable channel. all Obama all the time.
.....[ the majority of intelligent people frozen out, wondering how they can break into the cockpit to pull the plane out of its dive.]
BINGO !! We (silent majority, conservatives) are the passengers in this plane, and Trump is the guy standing up saying, “Lets Roll”. As that brave guy did on 9/11 on flight 93 over Pennsylvania.
