The establishment struck back and now he can do no right. The meme is set. First impressions and all that. They just control too much to overcome in this manner. A very bleak day is arising.

It would not have mattered WHO the candidate was, this is what was going to happen. Our biggest problem is ourselves. We, who allow the obvious propaganda campaign to thrive with no angry and outraged pushback. I see no fight back and that is why we will lose. It won’t be Trump that lost. It will be WE who lost it.

Too many here on FR are enabling the propaganda campaign by endlessly posting every media attack on Trump, whether they are absolute nonsense or not. Their rationale is that "we must know what the enemy is up to." Fair enough, but when the enemy is firing at you, you don't stand up to see what bullets they are using.

It would be better not to repeat (and then endlessly discuss) every MSM attack on our nominee. We are allowing them to control the dialog.
