The media has been pushing to eliminate Trump from the beginning.

How’s that working out for them?

Anyone who think the MSM is somehow FOR Trump needs to watch Major Garrett (formerly of Fox News, now with CBS). Everytime this guy discusses Trump, he can’t help but hide his sense of condescension. I don’t think it’s an act (though—apparently his time at Fox News WAS an act).

On face value WSJ (wire service journalism, aka “the MSM”) has been pushing to eliminate Trump from the beginning. But if you reflect on how they did that, you will realize that in fact they were “throwing him into the briar patch” from the beginning.

Think . . . if you were trying to promote a reality TV star, could you do it any better than to put him in a “reality” setting? And by making the debates all about him, and little to nothing about substance, that is fundamentally the dynamic of this contest.

If this mud wrestling match has taught us anything at all, it should be that democracy is not effective at getting the best president; it is only about limiting the damage. It is #neverHillary, in the end.
