"Meet The Press" moderator Chuck Todd hosts Jerry Seib, Helene Cooper, Kathleen Parker and Chris Matthews to discuss Donald Trump's "rope-a-dope" strategy of being entirely reasonable and making the other Republicans look ridiculous when they attack him.
*snip*
Chris Matthews closes the discussion: "I think it is deeper than anger, I think there is a sense of betrayal among the best and the brightest, that we have given the country away on the border, on debt, on jobs. They feel like they have been betrayed by the elite and Donald Trump, ironically, is fighting the elite here, and the little guys is rooting for him."
"And the more we attack him," says Chuck Todd, "the more powerful he gets."

[They can’t be silent about him because...}
Well, it seems they are trapped in a Catch 22 and I’m lovin’ it.
Well.....I tried to hold back.
I love it....the ‘talking heads’ just don’t know what to do....they bash Trump and all hell breaks loose; they try to make up the news and all hell breaks loose; they can’t ignore him, which is what they want to do, but they have to talk about him, he’s leading in ALL the polls....
They are $hitting their panties....and the smell is getting riper and riper....
Go Trump/Cruz for 2016
As Trump says “checkmate.”
Wonder if Chucky and Chrissie have woken up to the fact that if Trump becomes president, this country, in the age of equal pay and egalitarianism, will have elected a 1%er.
Nay, not a 1%er - a millionth of a 1%er - a micro 1%er.
Maybe even a zepto or yocto 1%er. so funny.
At least ol’ Chuck was honest enough to admit that he and the rest of the press have been attacking Trump.
Kewl....he blurted out, in a lefthanded way, that he and the others HAVE BEEN attacking Trump. Well, the Good Book says that an honest confession is good for the soul....but I’m not sure whether a blurted, inadvertant “confession” actually counts.
I think Matthews hit the nail on the head. This is what I like about Trump. He is taking on the elite elected ofiicials, the media, and the donors.
Although I want Cruz to be president it may be a few years before that can be a reality.
It may take a Donald Trump to hit the "Rest Button" in Washington before we will ever see a true conservative be sworn in.
If any other republican wins the nomination we will see the usual media attack and none of them have the ability to fight it off the way Trump does.
Liberals trying to tell him how to behave.
