Donald Trump Might Be In Real Trouble This Time (MSM obviously trying to shape the news alert)
NPR ^ | August 4, 2016 | Ron Elving

Posted on 08/04/2016 7:29:52 AM PDT by Zakeet

Let's take a step back from the news of the past few days and ask a fundamental question: Why does everything suddenly seem different?

Donald Trump, the unsinkable candidate who seemed immune to political consequences while winning Republican presidential primaries month after month, now finds himself with an ailing campaign and a bad case of personal toxicity.

Cable TV and other news media are obsessed with fallout within Team Trump and dissension in the Republican Party. When Trump holds a rally or takes to Twitter, half the nation seems to hold its breath - waiting for him to insult someone, snarl at a baby or maybe punt a puppy off the podium.

Why? Because the contest has changed, the media context has changed - and Trump has been caught in a confluence of damaging stories.

There’s one thing different. He’s not on offense, the way he wiped out 16 opponents and got ahead of the Witch. He doesn’t have to do anything different, he just has to get the ball back. Force a fumble and then keep the ball.

“now finds himself with an ailing campaign and a bad case of personal toxicity. “

The only thing that changed was the rubric MSM uses. New orders have been issued.

The explosion of BS over the past two days, polls showing HDK up by 300% and stories about DT thinking about quitting, are meant to deny funds to Trump’s campaign, the idea is to make people nervous about donating.

“because they say so”


exactly!

We are so sick of all their manufactured outrages, demands for apologies, and all the kings horses and all the kings men jumping on the bandwagon with their equally fake outrage and PC responses!

McCain, etc. Just shut up already!! Why open your mouth and try to put Trump’s foot in it, for an obviously manufactured media talking point that substitutes for real news? Those are the people who fell into the media laid trap.

News is what the media talks about, and that is a travesty. I am so sick of the top and bottom of the hour news on the radio having their top story something about Trump’s alleged faux pas that I am gong to start calling the news departments and telling them to use their energy on real news . . .

The media chose the Republican Party nominee, now they are going to destroy him. I’ve seen this game before.

Don’t tell me you guys didn’t see this coming? When you let the media choose your nominee, you have nobody to blame but yourselves.

This is complete garbage. The MSM did it with a weak candidate mittens last time in fact their MO is to sow fudge where none exists. Their shenanigans didn’t work with Khan the fake as that has been exposed by the ALT media. Yesterday Trump goes into Florida with 15,000 in attendance and thousands turned away. The people will decide this election not the MSM dinosaur press.

Trump was supposed to be in real trouble the last 10 or 12 times as well.

These people have called nearly every major Republican leader a closeted member of the KKK, crazy, stupid. And they have called every conservative president of my lifetime a dictator akin to Hitler.

This actually is a sophisticated government media propaganda campaign tailored to the least discerning and uninformed voter. The goal is to preserve the established order of the Satanic elites. Trump is dangerous truth serum that threatens the oligarchy.
Disinformation, diversion and demoralization are the techniques that are used to dominate weak minds.
This is the scientific dictatorship masquerading as a democratic republic in the Brave New Word.

So who was this great Republican that would have won in the general?

They were all a sorry lot.

President Trump may sign and XO after he is sworn in as our POTUS to defund NPR immediately.

NPR’s left wing mediots are going insane with their lies about Trump and phony polls.

Their inside polls must be showing that Trump is beating their liar/Clintoon severely.

The lame comments he makes are part of the problem. The fact that he ignores the golden opportunities served up by Obama and the economy almost everyday is doubly confusing.

Seems to me people like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz have done far more damage to the conservative label than Donald Trump .
