I actually agree with most of your comment. But the automatic dismissal of anyone, media or not, who dislikes Trump is unfortunate.
Are there members of the media who are all in for the Republican status quo? Yean, probably. Maybe even definitely. But there are also a lot of people AND I WOULD BET a lot of the conservative media who just really don’t trust Trump. That’s it. He may be the most wonderful human being to have graced the earth since Christ (he’s not), but in the end, we just do not trust the man.
That doesn’t make me, or others who think the same way or ALL of the media the devil incarnate. And, who knows, we might be completely wrong. But we don’t think we are and there’s grossly insufficient evidence to convince us. Similarly, we are frustrated at all the people who are being taken in by what we are convinced is a charlatan. That doesn’t make you all the devil incarnate either.
These people are after Trump in any way they can concoct because the are against ALL OF US. If Ted were demonstrably out in front, they’d be doing the same damned thing.
To me, posting contextually anachronistic crap from 20 years ago and pathetically relating it to now is just that. I wouldn’t stand for it with Ted, nor will I stand for it with Trump.
YOU said it yourself “You just don’t trust the man!” And that’s the crux of the internal dilemma we face here at FR. I am willing to let things shake out as they may and you are willing to accept bullshit dated excuses of why you just can’t realize neither he or Ted are the enemy here. I want one or the other to bury Hillary where she belongs. Others here would be smugly satisfied that they stood stalwartly beside Cruz until the bitter end. No thanks.
