What puzzles me, is I distinctly recall Newt Gingrich telling an interviewer that a large percentage of their time is spent on how to circumvent the media, and get their message out.
All those meeting and all that (I assume) brain power, and the msm still was able to lie and advance their agenda without much effort.
Newt and Co. should have called: 1-800-GO TRUMP! Problem solved.
Trump's strategy has worked extremely well but I think it could only work for someone like Trump. That is, someone with some celebrity lustre who will get followers to his tweets and viewers to his debates, etc out of curiosity. The "will he or won't he" build up to his announcing, for example, wouldn't occur of someone like Newt were to try to play that media angle, they wouldn't bite.
Credit to Trump, he saw a weakness in the media control of access and he ripped it open. Now it might be possible for others to step through, I contend Trump (or someone like him, a man with a built in following outside of politics) had to be first though.

Times have changed, and new media has created opportunities that few saw and fewer are able to take advantage of.
Ted Cruz did some of it, and that got him into the Senate.
Donald Trump is taking full advantage, and destroying the media cartel in the process. He is the man of the hour, and has the talents to do the job.
He is trailblazing the path for others to follow. With just a little luck, this election will neuter the “progressive” media cartel that has been destroying this nation for 50 years.
Because the Republican message was the “New World Order” = open borders, free trade, etc.
They want, and still want us the middle class, to drop dead and before we do, they want us to live in “tiny houses” having one child and no car with no culture of our own (and no Jesus).
