The RNC establishment and House and Senate leadership need to be destroyed. They do not represent a majority of the base’s views.

Against Hillary/the Bernie, any GOP candidate right now would lose.

And if you’re thinking Cruz can win, he can’t even carry a plurality of NH Republican voters! How in the world could he win a general election?

I have a feeling this year is going to come again to whom voters hate least.

And we’re a good long way from November.

Trump is a Democrat, and the media is laughing at the GOP for allowing their Trojan horse to run on its ticket.

Good. The Republicans need total destruction so something, such as the Tea Party, or similar, can take control and represent the people. The current RINO’s represent the themselves first, the party second, the Uniparty establishment third. And somewhere near the bottom, the people.

GO TRUMP, GO!!1

DESTROY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Your vanity post is not news.

Just because you don’t like Trump doesn’t mean your analysis is right

The Media Lets Trump Set the Narrative Because He Uses it to Destroy Republicans.

I disagree completely. They let Trump set the narrative because they are scared of him. I remember the vitriol, the laughing, the jokes, and the disdain for Trump when he first entered the race. I remember the piling on and breathless reports with each remark he made that would supposedly collapse his campaign.

Now he's got the media eating out of his hands and we pretend that they were with him all along? This is not so.

I wish the media were scared of Ted Cruz, but as of now, they are not. The media has Cruz apologizing to Carson for the umpteenth time on a national debate stage. The media has Cruz defending mailers that rank your neighbor's voting record. Donation requests that come labeled "check enclosed".

I think Cruz is fighting the media, but I question whether he is or is even capable of BEATING the media. He can take a lesson or two from Trump in that regard.

To me the media is enemy #1 if we're ever going to get this country back on track. Very little else will have an affect if you have the country blindly following a leftist cabal bent on blaming the right for everything they themselves set out to destroy.

I think Trump is repulsive and there is no way I would vote for him. I’m from New York City and he was the type who was always detested even in New York - cruel, crude, wealthy, ruthless and self-obsessed. He’s bought himself an election, but not with my vote.

“Ever hear the media talk about Trump owing tens of millions to banks”

More like hundreds of millions.

Close to a billion.

It is true. The MSM are supporting Trump and laying in wait.

He is one of them.

They made him and can break him.

>> Exactly how long do you expect this to continue, once Trump is the target <<

I believe you’re precisely on target with your analysis. But I think there’s more to the story:

The media always love a “narrative.” A good narrative (novel, short story, movie script, whatever) needs a beginning, a middle and and an end. In a presidential campaign, the media often will build a candidate up in the beginning, let him soar for a while, and then play out the age-old scenario of a horrible, crash-and-burn ending.

It’s a theme that’s as old as the Greek tragedies, hubris and all, like Icarus’ flying to close to the sun. The excitement of such a “classical” drama, as it can occur in our modern political context, is something that will sell newspapers, attract TV viewers, and generate advertising revenues.

With Trump, however, there’s more to the media’s action than just the inherent rise-and-fall drama of a Greek tragedy. The journalists and their editors are savvy enough to know that Trump would be absolutely the weakest possible GOP candidate in the General Election. So they have a second motive for building him up to stratospheric levels before crashing him down to earth. Trump is a twofer! Not only will his rise and fall generate revenues for the media, but his candidacy ultimately will give the Dhims their best chance for a smashing triumph.

Therefore, the Dhimmi-loving media want to do whatever is in their power to make Trump the GOP standard bearer, and they know full well how easy it will be to visit near-total ruin upon his campaign and upon his personal image. They’ve gotta be licking their chops just now, in anticipation of the fun that awaits them.

If Trump gets the nomination, I think Trump’s mafia connections will be the theme the MSM will try to use to destroy him.

The media lets Trump set the narrative because he is a ratings goldmine.

Its gotten to the point with Trump and Zero where I turm both these guys off. Zero because of his b/s and Trump reducing this presidential election to a WWF wrestling match throwing pails of gatbage and effluent at opponents.
