Trump told supporters: “I only like polls that treat me well.”

DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- As the Des Moines Register prepares to release its key poll in the Iowa primary, Donald Trump slammed the paper calling it "dishonest."

The paper previously found itself on Trump's bad side after it published an editorial in July calling for the real estate mogul to end his presidential campaign. He responded by refusing press credentials to Register reporters at his events.

Trump knocked the paper at an event Friday in Des Moines: "You have one of the most dishonest right here in your backyard. The Des Moines Register is the worst. They're very dishonest."(continued)

Honestly, I really didn’t think it was possible to find somebody with skin thinner that Obola’s.

Petulance is not a quality o look for in a president. Leads to errors in judgment. Some people struggle with that. :)

He’d have to be a fool not to: “expectations”.
Hilarious how many are too stupid to see that.

Drudge has it up now.

Donald Trump is just standing up for himself, which is very understandable considering the vicious onslaught of insults, smears, petty attempts at ridicule, and lies he has had to put up with from the media, the GOP, and his fellow candidates.

Attacking the media is about the smartest strategy any candidate can have.

"You have one of the most dishonest right here in your backyard. The Des Moines Register is the worst. They're very dishonest."

Sad but true.

It was an institution 40 years ago, but now it is so much garbage. I will read an issue every couple of years just because I happen to be back in central Iowa and one is laying around; it is a perverted doppelganger of what it once was.

Seriously. A couple of shoot and scoots. If he gets the nomination then all hell will break loose against him.

Finally, someone is playing hard-ball with the media rather than letting them walk all over him. It may be thin skinned, or maybe it is calling them out when they print or report an untruth.

The media has been doing that for a long time. The media, IMHO, has gotten so arrogant from their success in making and breaking potential candidates that they think they can do no wrong.

Now, someone is challenging them on their home turf.

The same Liberal paper that said back in July that Trump should withdrawal from the race. It’s a given. I’d expect cooked BS their polls too. If Trump leads in spite of their TDS bias.

This is called being “prickly”. It is a behavior pattern that results in people eventually thinking twice before attacking you. “Nice” has gotten us to where we are today. “Prickly” is what we need now.

Joni Ernst cemented her win in Iowa’s US Senate race by calling out the quaint little Democrat blog, the Register. Trump is wise to follow suit.

You deep seated hatred of Trump is not a shock

Your a dedicated DC establishment astroturfer.

Your promotion of that Treasonous Tpa -Tpp Trojan horse said it all.

That fact Trump still scares you is a good thing .

Dont you know that “real conservatives” turn the other cheek and feel bad that the press are doing a disservice to the American people by not “focusing on the real issues”?

You know, before they go on to losing?

I grew up in Iowa and around the Des Moines Register. It’s ALWAYS been a left wing liberal piece of crap, unworthy of use in my wood burner. Trump is correct!

I can’t help it if you have a fetish for the thin-skinned incoherent cretin who lets loose childish rants. You really should consider a candidate with a better temperament like Cruz.
