In particular, Trump has accomplished what no politician, ever, has accomplished. He owns the media
It is discouraging to find the National Review, home to a profundity of prominent pundits, attacking the frontrunner, Donald Trump, on the very eve of the first primary contest. âConservatives against Trump?â Really?
Even granting the authors good intentions, they accomplish nothing more than ârearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.â
âConservatives against Trumpâ misses the point entirely. None of us regular guy and gal Conservatives out here in flyover-land, many well read (well, at least having read The Liberty Amendments) are encumbered by the ridiculous ages-old insistence upon purity in Conservative candidates.
This is a good companion piece.
Bill Clinton didn't own the media?
The author shouldn't insult the intelligence of the reader from the very first sentence.
Valueless "analysis."
true words
Use comprehension. The media were lap dogs for Clinton and Obama and all things dim.
Trump owns the media because he uses them for his own purposes, excoriates them at will, and does not give a rat’s behind what they say about him.
Your analysis lacks
Obama doesn’t own the media. He is their slave.

Well said.
Very good.

Most of the prominent pundits actually work for The Cheap Labor Express.
They are paid to convince us that we have no choice but to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
Yes, what is “conservative” about mass Third World immigration?
How many who do not support Trump will subscribe? Maybe me.
I am the one who sees DT manipulation of the press Nixonian and scary?
Perhaps some of the 70% or so not planning on voting for him do.
Would these so-called "conservatives" include the likes of Linda Graham, Juan McLame, Mitchie (0bama's Bitch) McConnell, Paul Ryno, Cryin' Johnny Boehner, senor (Mama's boy) el Jebbo?
Nancy, you’re the best!
If Trump wins the nomination, will you vote for him???
Or just not vote????
Thomas Sowell. Ore his he just a flyby night lib in conservative clothing too?
Sowell and Katie Pavalitch are the only two that I didn’t think were working for The Cheap Labor Express.
I haven’t read their pieces yet. They probably have good reasons for not liking Trump. Heck, I don’t like Trump as a person, but I have concluded he is the right wrench to throw into the wheels of The Cheap Labor Express.
“We can thank Trump for single-handedly taking out JEB, the media, the GOPe & their big donors and even setting the dems back a notch or two. And he has barely spent any money doing it while the corrupt GOPe and related PACs have wasted tens if not hundreds of millions trying to hold on to their power base. And I don’t feel humiliated a bit. Grateful that PC is being destroyed and the rules rewritten.”

Here, here or is it Hear, hear
Extremely well said
Anyone can say they are against illegals, but Sowell backs people whose policies are Pro-illgal, So I know his deeds.
That is ... Exactly ... The case many of us have been making ... And we make it without impugning others’ character. I understand the purist view, I don’t think anyone is stupid for having it .... But it IS interesting to hear them make their case with the traditional Liberal tactics of name calling and insult masquerading as rational disagreement.
