If you want to understand Trump's gambit on the Mexican judge Gonzalo Curiel it lies in this 2 minute Youtube video by Howard Kurtz.

To Trump the battle is in controlling the news cycle any way he can. He is skillful enough to know how to diffuse whatever he says in the long run but to Trump absolute control of the news cycle is the key to winning. In addition, Trump is getting tens of millions of dollars in free advertising which Hillary cannot compete against.

As Kurtz pointed out deftly Trump is crushing Hillary in media exposure. That to Trump is where the war is won decisively which he is doing. Ask the other 16 candidates who went against him.

Instead of the News section of papers, maybe we should look in the Crime section and booking photos. (I can dream!)

Let's be real....She doesn't want airtime. She wants the party and the media to bow to her. In her unsaid words...."They owe me".

Her problem is....she NEVER in her wildest dreams expected to go up against Donald Trump, a patriot, a business man, a real person like you and me. He stepped to the plate to undo the horendous damage done to our country under the Dems....here and abroad....and to Make America Great Again.

Teleprompter Hillary is better off with less exposure, ESPECIALLY without the teleprompter. She performs extremely poorly in actual press conferences where she can not control the questions.

Even under the best of circumstances, she comes across as shallow, phony and non-empathetic.

So basically, the more people see of Hillary the more they don’t particularly like her.

The less people hear her the better chance she has to win.

There is not much to report besides her rapidly accumulating litany of felonies that they are trying to bury.

Media: “We spend too much time criticizing Trump.
We have to have balance.
So let’s give Clinton an equal amount of positive coverage to be fair!”

Cankles could get all the airtime she wanted, but every time she shows her face on TV her numbers plummet.

Staying out of sight is a strategy, not a presstitute conspiracy.

Hillary could hold a press conference, if she’s got the guts.

Cowardly old lady hasn’t faced the press in SIX MONTHS, I guess she’s not really campaigning to be President.

Trump faces the hostile press as often as possible, and defeats them daily.

Hillary is afraid of equal time because she has so much to hide.

Like Obama...anytime she’s on, I flip the channel. Can’t stand seeing either one of them.

I wish Hillary had much more airtime that is not scripted and controlled.

The deal with the judge is because he and his lawyers already knew that the judge was biased against him - it wasn't part of "the plan".

The MSM covers him because their ratings go up. They seem to think it's because he's a character and they fail to grasp that most folks really don't care to see/hear/hear about anything Hillary.....Trump is interspersing and likable --- even in an unlikable way....

180 plus days. How long since Hillary had a press conference?
How many years since Hillary faced tough questioning?
