History Lessons for Hillary and the Anti-Trump Media
Townhall.com ^ | June 2, 2017 | Michael Reagan

Posted on 06/03/2017 5:05:26 AM PDT by Kaslin

It's the election that never ends.

Here it is, seven months later, and Hillary still is coming up with excuses.

I've come to the conclusion that the only crime Donald Trump is guilty of is beating Queen Hillary.

That's it, and the Democrat establishment and the liberal media will never forgive him for ruining their dreams.

Watching Queen Hillary become so pathetic in the last several months makes me glad I voted for President Trump.

She proved how pathetic she really is this week in an interview where she blamed her 2016 loss on everyone from Russian agents and Montenegrin hackers to the janitor at the DNC.

But the main reason Trump won was because he connected with people in "flyover country" and she connected with the bicoastal people who are just as pathetic as she is.

To think that this woman came as close as she did to becoming the leader of the free world is scary.

Meanwhile, all the liberal media can talk about seven months after the election is the Russian connection and how Trump and Putin were somehow able to cheat Queen Hillary out of her rightful place in history last fall.

The media are still trying to find collusion under every bed, still trying to find why their beloved heroine lost and still refusing to accept that it was her fault.

The liberal media are as pathetic as Hillary.

On Thursday night, when I was on CNN with Don Lemon, the main subject was, of course, the Trump administration and its alleged collusion with Russia during the election.

After I pleaded with Lemon to name what crime Trump committed, and stressed that "collusion" by itself is not a crime, I tried to explain the long history of the Russians being asked by our own politicians to play games in our electoral system.

I told Lemon about Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter going to the Russians ---- the KGB at the time ---- and asking for their help in their 1979 and 1980 political campaigns.

That's ancient history, Lemon basically said, proving that though he's a nice guy he's like so much of the anti-Trump media; they seem to think presidential political history started when they woke up this morning.

Now they seem to think Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner invented the idea of secret "back-channel" communications with a foreign government last fall.

Administrations have always had back channels. President Obama had a back channel to Iran. How do we think Nixon and Kissinger worked up their plan to go to China?

Evidence or no evidence, the rabid liberal media are not going to let go of their Russia bone and their ratings are so good since "The Donald Show" debuted they're never going end their endless anti-Trump campaign.

There is an easy and simple way Trump can defeat the liberal media, however.

e needs to quit reacting to the liberal news media's biased stories and half-baked insinuations about how his administration and Russia colluded to defeat Queen Hillary.

The president is his administration's own worst enemy. As we said a few weeks ago, his staff should break his thumbs and put duct tape on his mouth.

If that's too much to ask for, for the next six months President Trump should go cold turkey.

Has the left pushed to hard? Some, including me, thank they have.


It is time for the Jake Clappers, the Up-Chuck Schumers, the Kathy Griffins, the Snowflakes and their mistresses in the left to see what they have unleashed.

I would love to ask a media idiot what they would think and say if Trump had lost and was doing what Clinton is doing....

Do not forget that one thousand Macedonian agents worked tirelessly against her. A thousand Macedonian agents turned the elections against her. Poor Hillary was so like Leonidas and his meer 300 at Thermopylae defending the free world from the Trump hoards of six people. Unfortunately for the free world her fate was not like Leonidas. She continues to bray while walking the countryside looking to put her army together again to fight.

Nice try Michael. I'm calling bullshit on that one.

As I recall you were one of the more vile nevertrumpers.

Yes, he should use the GWB method of dealing with the media narrative. Sit back and watch your administration be destroyed until you are completely neutered.

Worst advice for a President since Watergate!

President Trump is beating the Media with his tweets and comments. It has been working.

Maybe fine tune it. But stop it?

Not a good plan.

I agree.

If I’m watching my football team make sloppy play after sloppy play — while steadily advancing the ball down the field and occasionally scoring a touchdown, I quickly realize that the sloppy play isn’t the crucial thing to focus on.

Trump’s tweets are sometimes “concerning” but I very much like the success he’s having with his agenda and in messing with the Liberals’ heads. So I don’t much care about his tweets. Play on!

Nice analogy.

The last President who even came close to beating the Establishment media was Reagan.

Trump is doing much better than Reagan, and the Republican party is also doing much better than the Republican party during Reagan’s two terms.

The Republicans need to be cleared of the old “progressive” dead wood, like McCain, so they can get things done.

No. In this case, silence is acquiescence.

I love to see the Trump tweets taking down the media. He seems to balance his tweets between those talking up his accomplishments (and always praising the people who worked hard to achieve), and those pointing out the dishonesty of the media.

If anything, his tweets on the MSM should be even more dismissive. And he could tweet praise for those media outlets who get "it" right.

Trump has a wider range of tools at his disposal. Reagan had no Twitter, the internet as we know it was in its infancy, and talk radio scarcely existed.

The press is pounding Trump/Russia all day, every day - Trump tweaks them once a week or so with “the story is the leaks” or “hahahahaha” and somehow Trump is one causing the Russia story to persist? Give.me.a.break.

Michael Reagan is still a never-Trumper as evidenced by this article.

Their job is pretend support while being assigned the task of a thousand small cuts from the inside.

Watching Michael is little different from watching Chris Wallace, a registered democrat.

Exactly correct. Those tools have enabled people to overcome the gatekeepers on information that the Establishment media is. Widespread availability of alternate information sources has broken the Establishment media stranglehold.

It is why Trump won.

"Do not forget that one thousand Macedonian agents worked tirelessly against her. A thousand Macedonian agents .."

And "thanks" to Killery Rotten this week, I was reminded that there even still WAS a "Macedonia." Somehow, I previously thought it had been relegated to the heap of ancient, failed states.

Bad advice.

The left is afraid of President Trump and his ability to get his side out to the people without being filtered by the media.

President Trump tweets is the 21st century version of the fireside chats (and more honest).
