First the Wall Street Journal editorial board called on conservative media to buck up and ditch Donald Trump.
Then late Monday, Iowa's largest newspaper, The Des Moines Register called on Trump to just drop out of the race.
-snip-
Trump didn't take the Register's editorial lightly. On Tuesday, he released a lengthy statement calling the editorial "sophomoric" and pointing out that a recent poll had him leading the GOP field.
"As one of the most liberal newspapers in the United States, the poll results were just too much for them to bear. The Des Moines Register has lost much circulation, advertising, and power over the last number of years. They will do anything for a headline, and this poorly written "non-endorsement" got them some desperately needed ink," Trump wrote, adding that the paper hasn't been covering him fairly. "They would rarely write the facts or report what really took place. They never captured the energy of each event and it is a constant battle with them by my representatives to get an accurate count of the large crowds I draw."

Iowa takes its early primary too seriously. All primaries should be on the same day, no exceptions.
Taking on the MSM with a fist-to-the-face is only going to drive his polls higher.
It’s time for some gutless republicans to grow a set like the Donald. The press screws with him and he hits back.

I’m sorry, no one who truly respects those who have served in the military will vote for this guy.
I agree. I think most Americans dislike and don’t trust the MSM. They take great pleasure in watching Trump smack them down.
Well done LOL!
If Trump fatally damages the media-political complex running this country he will be a true American hero.
He went to military school. What the problem with that?
I would love for Trump to just buy the paper.
“All primaries should be on the same day, no exceptions.”
Yes, and all voting should be on election day! No exceptions!
20 Years, 1 Month, 18 Days United States Navy(retired) and I would VOTE for “The Donald” in a New York Minute.
Iowa DOESN’T Have a “primary” we have a CAUCUS!
“Taking on the MSM with a fist-to-the-face is only going to drive his polls higher.”
So true. And I welcome it.
“The Des Moines Register” is the incredible SHRINKING Newspaper(check the width of today’s edition vice a 20 year ago edition it has SHRUNK)!
If he’s the last man standing on the right, I will, but he’s not close to being what I want. (He’s closer than Yeb, for whom I will not vote, no ifs ands or buts.) But I relish his having the will and the ability to take on the media.
And only for citizens, with ID, no exceptions.
