Is Donald Trump in trouble? After facing hostile questions from Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski Wednesday night--they comprehensively laid out his flip-flops, presented him with damning videotape, and asked him to explain the inconsistencies in detail--Trump was confronted by hostile audience members at MSNBC's televised town-hall forum. When a Muslim questioner got up to ask why he had said such bigoted things about minorities, Trump seemed to struggle while Scarborough forced him to respond. The candidate looked uncomfortable, unhappy, and somewhat lost. It could be a turning point.
If only. Of course, none of this actually occurred Wednesday night, just like it hasn't occurred once this entire campaign season. Instead, Scarborough and Brzezinski hosted what appeared to be a rehearsed and "safe" town hall, in which American voters asked the candidate such hard-hitting questions as "Why did you decide to run for president?" and "how will you set yourself apart" from other Republicans? It was completely worthless television, except in one sense: The program highlighted the many ways in which the media's coverage of Trump has been soft, insufficient, and without substance.

Well, the media recognize an entertainer when they see one. That’s all he is but it gives them a feeling of power to know how far being a media star can get you these days.
Levin had a good interview with Trump back in August ‘15.

No surprise the other knee jerk hysteric for Cruz, is here too.
Too bad your candidate sucks so bad you are reduced to posting these sort of infantile tirades in the vain hope that maybe, finally, today one of your infantile snark postsing will actually matter to someone other then you.
Yes we know, everybody that doesn’t kiss the Don’s feet is worthless.
Well, you always have Michael Savage.
Cruz doesn’t have the stones to go after Trump on the issues you listed.
Do you think that Trump would hesitate to use those issues against Cruz?
You’ve already seen that he doesn’t hold back. He hits hard, doubles down, hits them again, then kicks them while they’re down for good measure.
So, which one should be the President confronting our enemies like ISIS and Iran?
How many times has Ted Cruz been on MSNBC? Or CNN. Or FNC.
Absolutely Well Said!
Watch the immediate implosion if he wins the nomination. The media is telling us everything we need to know. We will hear previously unheard super attacks by all of them. It is what they do.
OMG, What a bunch of crybabies. Time to put on your big boy pants.
Do you think Breznef (sic) will Vote for Trump? She probably has a Hillary Tattoo on her A$$.
Heck, I doubt former Republican Congressman Scarborough will Vote for a Republican either.
Michael Savage: “Do you understand what I’m saying to you.”
Me: “Sometimes.”
Hit job by the msm.
Donald has spanked the MSM for so long, the MSM now treats a Republican like a normal person!
McConnell and Ryan, are you taking notes?
I found it hilarious when Mika set Trump up on describing Bernie Sanders campaign and Trump said she was describing his campaign. Smartest man in the campaign fooled by Mika? Tell me it ain’t so!
That said, I would vote for Trump in the general if that is the choice, but his habit of being seemingly compelled to tell us how smart he is all the time is really off putting to me.
I watched it all and I didn’t see that either....
Oh well, we all know ‘slate’ take it for what it’s worth....
Great post!
I could careless if Levin likes Trump. I don't need Mark Levin to tell me how to think.
"Well, you always have Michael Savage."
Nope, don't care for him either. I don't need any meatball recipes from Wiener Nation. Nor do I need the daily serving of dreck that Levin dishes out.
Which kind of explains why they love Trump so much.
That and ratings. They love their show and would like it to continue.
Slate is sooooooo pathetic...
80% of those who posted made it obvious they read the first few sentences, then went on a KNEEJERK RANT.
And they call other people STUPID.
