The media can either talk about conservative challengers to moderate RINOs or it can talk about a celebrity named TRUMP that low information voters already know.
Which do you think the media would prefer to cover?
The challengers to Hillary aren’t making much press either. Has that field ‘failed’?
It’s good for ratings and good for sucking up all the air in the room. Trump certainly looks better than Jeb but the media would rather be able to talk about Clinton vs. Bush round II. Shutting the conservative Republican challenges to Bush out of the primary coverage serves that end.
The media only wants to “talk about” Jeb and Hillary because Jeb and Hillary both have loads of advertising dollars and the media wants them. The more they prop up those two, the more money the media makes.
Now, ask yourself why the media, as a profit-making enterprise, is even allowed to do things like host debates.
“The challengers to Hillary aren’t making much press either. Has that field ‘failed’?”
I would have to say yes but the rats do not have any good people to run. All of their candidates or potential candidates to date are very old and very white. I do not see where they are going to get anybody exciting to watch or listen to. The rats realistically only have a couple of months max to get somebody in if they are going to replace Hillary.
I think it is way too early to proclaim Trump victory as the republicans do have some good people already running and there is still a long time to go before the candidate is settled on. I am enjoying watching Trump a lot. It is very entertaining to hear the wails of the GOP establishment and pundits and the MSM. I intend to enjoy it and see what shakes out.
