Well that is the tactic used by the media to destroy someone. The media is not going to let this story die. The media will ask about it day after day after day. Trump’s best counter tactic is to simply ignore the question and refuse to answer it. I’ve said all I have to say on that topic. Next Question”

Refusing to answer the question is how a politician would change the subject.

Feeding the media frenzy is how a reality star stays in the klieg lights.

When it comes to Trump, stop thinking about what a politician would do. That’s not a criticism. It’s crazy like a fox. Enough to get him the nomination? Who cares!

The media and GOPe are getting punk’d.

I love it.

He will when it stops benefiting him. He knows how to handle the MSM better than any of the other candidates. He understands their Alinsky tactics. Namely,

Rule 5:“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

Rule 13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Trump is using Rule 7 against the MSM:

Rule 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.

Since I read this morning that Fox is trying to get him to show up with Hannity or someone tonight, he might be negotiating for an apology.
