A little noticed event earlier this week brought ominous tidings to the Trump 2016 campaign, which spent most of the summer riding high on a wave of triumphalism and defiance against the GOP establishment machine. Donald Trump held a campaign event in Iowa, and CNN didn’t even acknowledge that it was happening. Indeed, while the assembled crowd waited to hear the latest Trump Brand Pablum in person, even CNN’s chryon blared on about the huge crowds that were at that moment being drawn by … Bernie Sanders.

Evidently CNN left out the first 3 minutes of some film from his Georgia rally .... the one where he was surrounded by black ministers pledging their support & declaring that Donald Trump is no racist. Oh my ... doesn’t fit the Enemedia/GOPe narrative.
Just google Trump and implode, imploding etc. You will get thousands of articles starting from when Trump first entered the Presidential race until today.
Every time he implodes he just gets bigger!!! OMG!!! WTF!!!
Bah-roken record. Never has there been a more desperate need for rebranding than there is at "Redstate".
Meanwhile, the Trump bandwagon, in a fine defiance of the laws of gravity, continues to rise above the plain, visible at great distances to every onlooker still on the ground, and maintaining altitude and position.
The Donald is proving to be not only popular among a goodly segment of Republican voters, but has a HUGE crossover appeal to what has often been referred to as the “moderate middle”, the very demographic that the Establishment Republicans have repeatedly told Republican office-seekers they must move to the LEFT in order to “broaden” their appeal. As a result, the “moderate middle” has refused to even vote when it comes time for election of a President, as the Republican nominee was not all that distinguishable from the Democrat, so far as they were concerned.
But in The Donald, people who had not even entertained any opinions on political preferences, have found a candidate they can embrace, enthusiastically and largely uncritically.
The Donald may even succeed in attracting a few Democrat votes, and that would be enough to put him over the top in a landslide.
The media has figured out they are giving Trump a boost by covering him and intend to marginalize him.
I think Republicans and the “others” won’t like this and will create their own back lash, by other means = electronic media and wherever they can.
Trump needs an organized media PAC, and to get his family on the road! Fan out and take the people by storm.
I’m with you, I’ve been waiting for America to wake up for years. Many people still think it can be fixed by voting. That ship sailed a long time ago.
I'd be surprised if anybody at FR thinks that our beloved Repubic still exists, or that this is still America.
The question is, can we resurrect it?
Pink State, maybe?
Two points:
1 The Democrat debate is this week so it’s natural to give those candates more coverage last week than Republiicans.
2 Every excess coverage dies down when it is more of the same and Trump fits that model. People will say “Oh, him again, turn the channel.” That happens all the time with any subject or any person. That is when news people go with the latest news grabber be it killings, terror, floods, or a new phone coming out. Trump will be old news to most of the listening publiic because they are fickle with their listening habits and interest and news people know this.
I’m not at home so forgive my writing this with a pad.
Heh.
MSM will follow MR. TRUMP, PRESIDENT #45 to his rightful END STOP @ 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, WASHINGTON, D.C.
I’m with you. I know of no other solution than a violent cleaning. Even if we win the white house this go round - I do see any real return to sanity - just a delay.
I hope I’m wrong.
Bingo.
They might, might return to Trump if their campaign coverage tanks in the ratings. Even then, they'll do their best to cast him in a bad light. Trouble is, they can't seem to get a handle on what "bad light" is in this election cycle. Their DNC issue playbook only covers the creation of bogus war on women and macaca moments.
“No campaign can long survive without its oxygen and Trump’s is currently gasping for air. It’s not hard to see that the end is near.”
This article is dated October 8. Today the polls reflect a rise in Trump’s numbers.
These people are desperately trying to comfort themselves with delusions.
RedState is dead to me.
Trump should do interviews during same time on alternative station. Shame his book isn’t ready for a long review ;-)
Wow. Taking “grasping at straws” to a new level.
