Media Throw Everything At Tht Wall To See What Sticks

Now that Trump has finally turned to the campaign promise that won him the election -- build a wall and deport illegals -- the Democrats, the media and even most Republicans are hysterical.

Just remember: They were hysterical about Ronald Reagan, too. You don't change history by being a follower, particularly if the people you're following are unimaginative, go-with-the-flow company men.

When President Reagan implemented the strategy that won the Cold War, he was opposed by the entire media, as well as foreign policy "experts" in both parties.

The New York Times and Washington Post produced nonstop denunciations of his "dangerous" policies. There were propaganda movies like "The Day After," terrifying Americans about a Soviet strike on our country. Witless college students demanded cyanide pills be stocked in campus health care clinics, on the grounds that Reagan was going to get us all nuked.

To be honest, Reagan was taken more seriously because he won 49 FRICKIN’ STATES! That being said, Trump needs our support. If you get those emails or texts, send in $5 at least. Show your support for President Trump. It’s not like he’s not confident, but he needs your support much more than President Reagan did.

When she’s right, she’s right. But that does not excuse her from being a nasty, insulting b-word.

I get that many of her criticisms of President Trump may just be her sending a message on behalf of Trump supporters for Trump to do the right thing.

But she often uses these criticisms along with nasty insults about President Trump. Skanky, low class tactics.

But this is what Ann does. This is who Ann is.

"To be honest, Reagan was taken more seriously because he won 49 FRICKIN’ STATES! ”



In 1980 Reagan won a decisive victory over Carter, carrying 44 states and receiving 489 electoral votes, to Carter's 49 electoral votes from six states plus the District of Columbia.

In 1984, Reagan won a landslide re-election victory, carrying 49 of the 50 states, while Mondale won only Minnesota, his home state, and the District of Columbia

Give Trump some time. He'll win more states in 2020

REAGANS biggest mistake ...George Bush.

Reagan only had NBC, abc, and CBS...there wasn’t 24 hour news

Hell there were hundreds of thousands marching in Europe against Reagan..

The other day we were commenting on the shotgun approach of the stories of only one network, NBC. For once the coordination usually present in the lockstep media seems to have gotten lost. In any case, they all got upstaged by the oracular Jim Acosta, standing behind the wall and saying he didn’t see a problem there. If they stray from the talking points, that’s what you get.
