To: Conscience of a Conservative
Watching the Trump crowd defend and support anything and everything Trump says is fascinating, isn't it? It's like watching North Koreans talk about Kim Jong-Un

Have you in your life *ever* heard any politician in the last 30 years question the intentions of the press? Have you ever in the last 30 years heard any politician spin the press rather then having the press spin them? Like him or not Trump has figured out that the press is NOT his friend. Most conservatives have NOT figured that out or if they have they tread so lightly and are so deferential lest the mean old media report negatively on them. Not Trump. They go negative on him, he goes negative on them and makes no bones about it.

You HAVE to respect that.

The leftists in Big Media are absolute whores for the demonicrat party. It’s long past time for statesmen to call them out on it.

Trump has gotten the public energized about this primary even if they don’t like him at all. Tens of millions of people got to see all of the other candidates. Even that daytime debate had significant viewership especially for its timeslot where he wasn’t even participating. So even though some of us think he’s full of baloney (in the political sense), I’m still very grateful for what’s he’s done. He’s also gotten things discussed that may not have been discussed as in depth as they were. He’s essentially playing the role of the “bad cop” to keep everyone thinking even if they would never consider supporting him.

Last presidential election cycle, Newt schooled the Media many times, without having the emotional breakdown that Trump appears to be having.

Trump is not tough. He’s fragile and afraid. Kelly wounded him, and he doesn’t know what to do.

Disagree. Most conservatives hate the media. It’s the reason Trump is doing well in the polls. Finally they see someone treating the media the way they deserve.
