“A lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinion of sheep.” ― George R.R. Martin, “A Game of Thrones”
In the MSM’s unrelenting criticism of President-elect Donald Trump (and his transition team), the term “bloodletting” is weirdly telling of their collectively deluded mind-set. The Washington Post misuses that precise word in relation to the unremarkable demotion of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (for the more experienced Mike Pence) and the departure of former congressman Mike Rogers (R-MI).
A couple of understandable personnel changes and The Post’s Wednesday front page radiates: ‘Key figures purged’? Likewise, the next day obviously aggrieved columnist Dana Milbank called Republicans “one big mess.” The avalanche of farcical and wrongheaded descriptions persist. Also on Thursday, his colleague Karen DeYoung petulantly complained of Trump’s “still empty” transition government offices. Newsflash to Ms. DeYoung and her fellow travelers in liberal la-la land: it’s only been eight days since Trump’s victory! (Is she secretly impatient for The Donald’s governance?)
In the postmortem of the 2016 presidential election, failed Democrats—and their still clueless sycophants in the press—are the ones actually bloodletting. Their pollsters repeatedly got everything wrong. Even “newspaper of record” The New York Times is losing money. Yet, the red meat in this scenario is the Democrats as wholesale political road kill. It’s a titanic trifecta: Crooked Hillary’s unrealized presidential prospects, an absolute repudiation of anti-American progressivism, and Barack Obama’s legacy is dead on arrival. While the ground quakes under lame duck Democrats’ feet, the mindless “squawking” cacophony of disillusioned ideologues masquerading as journalists resounds.

Spot on! Beautifully written piece. Thank you Mr. Hunter.
The media will keep berating Trump and his supporters until they (the media) are taken seriously again.

Maybe. Two explanations for the inaccuracies of the great majority of the Election polls.
1. The pollsters managed their polling to fit the preconceived outcome they desired. (GIGO)
2. They based their voter turnout model on the 2012 election even though their was strong evidence enthusiasm for Clinton was not even close to what it was for Obama.
#2 is the reason.
Hussein, the sordid 2016 democrat ignominee, and their GOP quislings created the environment from which our Charles Martel emerged. May it torment them forever.
