LoL...I sure would like to here a further elaboration of that one.

I should have said, "...reduces the effectiveness of an MSM line of attack."

What hurts Trump in the primaries may help him in the general. I suspect he has decided that he will easily win the primaries.

There's nothing the MSM would like more than to brand Trump an an "extreme conservative" because of an alliance with Cruz. Until the mutual attacks started, they gave every appearance of being allies.

Similarly, Trump is probably helped in the general election by National Review's anti-Trump stance.

I can tell you must be excited about the Xfiles reboot.

Absolutely! The Truth is Out There!

Good response, and I think you are half right.

What gains he makes by distancing himself from conservatives will be offset by those conservatives who will write him off. So I am thinking it will be a net zero, or small loss for Trump.

BTW.....looking forward to the Mulder - Scully reunion myself this Sunday.
