...Thus two weeks ago we dispatched a warning about Hugh Hewitt specifically:
Politics as an industry – Salem Communications [radio talk show (Hewitt), Red State (Erickson), now also Twitchy (Malkin), Hot Air (McCain), NRO, Townhall, Human Events, Bearing Arms etc.] has the same general ideological world view as Jeb Bush, George Will, Rupert Murdoch, Wall Street Journal, etc.
UPDATE: As if on cue – Salem Communications, Via Hot Air, publishes a “compare and contrast” article pushing the GOPe Carly Fiorina – as savior angle. LINK HERE
Salem Communications owns both Hot Air and Hugh Hewitt. See how they roll?
Shorter: “the betters”, the “elites”. Or those who feel superior enough to tell others what they should or must think. You’ll note these Salem groups rarely research, present raw data, or offer unfiltered information; it’s almost always Op-Ed.
We, the proud vulgarian team, without financial considerations to skew our perspectives and viewpoints, do not like the “financial media class” and the skewered perspectives that come with financial dependency. We are able to research, watch, describe and discuss through clear-eyed glasses. Hence, we can transmit the warning above.
The gathering of the opposition research includes trying to record Donald Trump for use in later campaigns, ie. the lead to the debate. Hence again, the warning above.
They, all of them, want Trump stumbling and stammering. Desperately seeking to create the “Park Row Narrative” – inept, inexperienced, incompetent, et al.
Just like Bloomberg’s John Heilemann and Mark Halperin with the “what’s your favorite bible passage” question (ie. prove you’re a christian); or Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin asking Ted Cruz his favorite “Hispanic food or Hispanic singer” in essence prove you’re Hispanic bona fides questions:
Today’s questions from Hugh Hewitt are no less strategic or strategically motivated. Hugh Hewitt has a plan. Hewitt is also part of the Salem Op-Ed machine who are trying to provide the soundbites for the upcoming assault.
Within seconds of Hewitt providing the fuel, the RNC industrial machine jumped to action. This is only going to get worse by infinite magnitudes. Prepare for it.
(New York Times) […] Mr. Trump, a real estate developer and brand manager who has never worked in government, has relatively little experience dealing with foreign governments. But he has boasted of his global reach and international experience as a businessman. Mr. Hewitt said he was not interested in “gotcha” questions but wanted to be sure Mr. Trump had a baseline of knowledge about foreign leaders. “On the front of Islamist terrorism, I’m looking for the next commander in chief to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?” Mr. Hewitt asked. There is one goal in all of this – DESTROY DONALD TRUMP ! It’s simply what they do, every election, every time, when the industrial political machine doesn’t like the candidate.
And the intel/optics will be used as fuel injected into the debate while GOPe co-horts (Carly Fiorina) will continue the Megyn Kelly approach.
The RNC/GOPe machine, through the various Wall Street funded Super-PACs will also fund liberal groups (Hispanics, La Raza, and Black Lives Matter as examples) and labor organizations (remember the SEIU orcs?) to campaign against Trump visibly based on “racist” and divisive accusations.
Yes, that is correct. The same party who just presented a loyalty pledge is now empowered, with full plausible deniability of course, to fund Trump’s removal at all costs.
This is going to get even more UGLY as the political power brokers grow increasingly more anxious.
GOPe Republicans are just as vicious as Democrats when it comes to attacking their adversaries. Unfortunately, GOPe Republicans don’t view Democrats as their opposition (see Mitt Romney ’12), they only view conservatives as their adversaries. 
That's better than being a braggart and coward like Obama, ValJar, Hillary, Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest.
And it's also better than being a victim and a coward like Weepy Boner and Mitch McCuckold.
“What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?”
Thanks for the feedback!
It was a total setup by HH!
HH in 2017 will have to buy his own airtime.
No one is asking why all these pretenders are so afraid of Trump. Could it be that their dirt will be exposed as well as their hypocrisy? What are all these power-hungry, ego maniacs hiding at the expense of the country and/or our future?
Yup.
“No one is asking why all these pretenders are so afraid of Trump.”
The real issue here is that this time the CONTROL of the GOP is really at stake. A President Trump will be the Head of the GOP, and that fact is making the GOPe “leadership” crap their pants! Before Trump, the GOPe could “arrange” for their then current “designated looser” (aka “$hit sandwich”) to be nominated. Now, they’ve about lost control of the process, and they know they stand to loose everything if Trump wins.
I just hope a complete purge of the GOPe “leadership” is high on President Trump’s TO DO List!
I agree.
Excellent summary:
“I recall the MSM did the same questioning of both Palin and W on similar topics with similar gotchas.
Leaving the problems with W aside, this is an Establishment putsch against Trump, who is soaring at about forty percent now.
The sea change for the Establishment attackers is that we, the conservative vulgarians, know the game now.
Tough luck for them.’

It is not so much asking questions of Trump. I don’t think he cares. He just defends himself.
It is more that the media does not want to be questions and wants to be able to flog the interviewee at will without a peep from the interviewee.
The media hates to be questions. As the cop says:” I will ask the questions and you answer them.” That is the media in a nutshell.
Trump did very well in that interview. The problem with the media is that hey love to give the black eyes but hate walking away with one after an interview.
What Trump offers are many accomplishments over the last 30 years.
If trivial pursuit was the standard off of which to elect a president all the presidents would have been university professors who know a lot of nonsense but who cannot live in the real world.
Or Trump can win like Reagan and become president. Trump is not in it to lose. You could be wrong!
I’ve noticed that Hewitt’s reporter interviews are all from leftist rags. Hewitt is going to have a nervous breakdown. You can tell he is getting really nervous.
