Ted Cruz does not own the media. He has some very good ideas and can articulate them very well, but to get his message out as a presidential candidate, he would have to pay for virtually every minute of his coverage.
This is true because the only possible way the media can get Hillary Clinton elected is to give Cruz the same treatment they gave Mitt Romney in 2012; and they will.
All the excitement about finally taking back the White House fades away with a candidate that can’t defeat “the treatment†the media always gives Republican candidates. Cruz can’t.
When Romney talked about how 47% of voters would never vote for him: the media savaged him and never gave him a chance to explain what he meant. They used it to inflame the “offended†to increase their turnout.
Recall Romney’s “Women Book,†an honest attempt to give women a fair chance to be hired. Romney was savaged over it and never given a fair chance to explain it. The media didn’t have to and didn’t want to; so they ignored his explanation. They owned Romney; he got only the coverage they deigned to give him. They will do the...

Trump only has his ability to make the press follow him.
The press has always backed and given free time endorsing Hillary.
All candidates other than Trump will be forced to buy time and will have no support in interviews anywhere but on maybe Hannity.
And there you go calling for backup.
What a bunch of cowards.
These recipients are on the dang thread for crying out loud.
It saves responding to three different posters.
The bonus for you is that it gives you something else to whine about.
Other than TRUMP smoking the field.
Whatever you say jellyfish.
<<< “ ...you people mewling and whining about how the GOPe betrays conservatives for the entire time ... “ >>>
Well cheer up, THIS time the conservative will be betraying the GOP.
That is WHY he is winning. Wake up.
very witty.....
Actually if you take a look you’ll see that I have always known Trump was a liberal scumbag.

Maybe you can explain why so many others have done a 180 degree turn.
Yes just the visual of Trump’s plane looking like the President’s pulls up in front of a podium. He gets off the plane, addresses the crowd then walks back up the steps and flies away. He’s already President. LOL!
You are no “conservative”.
Flogging that abused description is a disguise, to get you past the fact that you. have. no. logical. argument.
Being “conservative” is seldom used as a suicide pact, but you are pushing that envelope.
Whatever, you may go now.
Pulling up to the hangar to the sound track from “Air Force One”!!!
Chutzpah!
We have been starved for it! From our side, for ONCE.
C’mon, creek...don’t throw a page of old articles out there! You know I don’t deal in generalities. If you had a good reason, you’d have named it.
Most of the opposition to Trump is some silly religious bunch of crap that people being conned by a Government lawyer can’t get past. That simple. We aren’t electing a preacher...is Trump perfect...NO WAY, but he is the ONLY one, NOT owned by the illegal alien lobby. THE ONLY ONE.
Off FR for a while, too busy. The last word is yours.
Be well! We will be on the same side, in the same battle again.
Jealousl, Huma?
Ahh...do you ever post anything other than non-excerpted links to the “Coach is Right” blog? Is that YOUR blog?
I meant non-commented...not non-excerpted.
Just like their hero, they argue from the left.
To recap, what are some other Trump fans' positions?
Obamacare is good.
Abortion is no big deal.
The Constitution should be dumped, at least temporarily, to "allow" a dictator to rule by executive order.
Stated fondness for Bill Clinton.
Conservatism doesn't really exist.
And plenty of the type of anti-Christian stuff being spouted by AuntB.
Interestingly, I have yet to see a single Trump supporter call out or condemn such blatant leftism. They all ignore it; as long as the person is pro-Trump, that's all that matters.
And as for the older Trump threads, I've noted that some of the people who really had his number then are some of the most feverishly adoring now.
I just now saw a post...in 2011, Trump was a sleazebag, now he’s Reagan for our time, LOL.
Same here. At least Romney was a Republican.
Hillary appreciates Donald Trump's support even more.
