Still a ways to go, but yes, if he does get the nomination, the media will have more than enough material to go negative, 24/7.
On the plus side, Cruz would be positioned well for 2020, if the country lasts that long.
Donald loves it when the media goes negative on him.
Every single solitary time his ratings go up.
“THROW ME IN THAT BRIAR PATCH AGAIN, OKAY?”
Y’see... the people hate the media.
The media is too full of self congratulations to notice this.
Donald is the foil. The media hates Donald, the people at once ask themselves, what did Donald do to deserve it? 99% of the time it was to say something that was unpopular to say but had a whole lot of truth in it.
Result: the media is the fool, Donald becomes the hero.
