For once, the most memorable thing about one of the president's rallies was not his baldfaced lies nor his attacks on reality. Rather, President Donald Trump's Tampa rally will be remembered for the reporting of CNN's Jim Acosta. He revealed more accurately than most what the Trump base, or at least part of it, looks and sounds like and what Trump must do to hold its attention. He tweeted:
"Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I'm very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy."
In between reports, Acosta strolled over to engage with the hooters and hollerers, extending them the civility and respect they would deny anyone who contradicts their cult leader....

"Trump's Tampa circus proves you can't reason with his base America. There, fixed it.
They act likes demons being subjected to an exorcism.
Ceckless funt and National Embarrassment Jenny Rubin weighs in...
Start a theory with a false premise and all that follows is illogical.
It’s not elections. It’s ethics.
I told a family member who is a pretty open minded lawyer that Obama wasn’t vetted, the press gave him a pass, and that anything this guy did was going to end up sinking the media, not Obama.
They dismissed it, but CNN is wearing the fact they didn’t do their jobs. They’d rather think this is personal, but it isn’t.
CNN WAS the most trusted name in news. I remember travelling to craphole foreign countries and feeling better once I could tune CNN on a TV somewhere.
They abdicated their responsibility - on purpose.
Jim Jones sodomized the men in the cult to get in a power position over them.
Williams Ayers did the same to the men and women in the Weather Underground. Some women have since cried #MeToo
The SLA raped Patty Hearst into submission.
That Milk and Jones did it comes as no surprise except to academics.
I watched Trumps Tampa event this morning on YouTube. He was outstanding.
MAGA!
I do not believe Acosta even understands the word.
Shouldn’t this be posted under ‘humor?’
You expect news or facts from the SF Chronicle? /s/
Haha. Hes worried about whipped-up hostility from the people we saw at Trumps rally? I saw no one in the audience who Id be afraid to encounter in a dark alley. Who brings baseball bats to rallies? Who sets cars and buildings on fire, huh, Jim? Oh. Sorry. Is that racist of me? I think Jim and his media buddies are worried about whipped-up voter turnout.
Funny, I see no such concern voiced about the actual violence being dealt by the left. Nor a call for liberals to stop attacking Fox News viciously. So this is just partisan hand-wringing.
The WaPo, can’t see the light of day they have their heaps up their ass so far.
That thing. Pfft.
Liberals love to dish it out but they can’t take it can they..they go running to their mommies crying their lil eyes out. These are the same people who CHEER Maxine Waters screaming that they need to GET IN OUR FACE..these are the same people who CHEER when Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats get THROWN out of restaurants and beaten up..yeah its all good when its done to US but when lil whiny homo Jim Acosta gets yelled at the Commie left can’t take it..poor babies, grow a pair Commie pricks
the only violence and ugliness I’ve seen comes from the left. How many riots, physical and verbal assaults against Trump supporters has the media covered? Few if any, because they feel those who are subject of the attacks deserve it, and then the media does its best to cover up the abuse.
