"Trump will probably continue to get away with the free media ride."

Only if, and until, he gets the nomination. The press will turn on him with such a vengeance that it will make Ted Cruz look like a puppy. There is enough ammunition in just the recent nomination race for the press to have non-stop bashing for a decade.

‘The press will turn on him with such a vengeance that it will make Ted Cruz look like a puppy’. What are you blathering about, the Press has been attacking him 24/7 since he announced.

of course the media won’t do that with, let’s say, Cruz if he gets the nomination, or Rubio, or Bush, or Carson, or Kasich. The media will go into full Hillary Campaign Mode, we all know that, so what exactly is your point?

It’s amazing how many people just don’t get this.

Trump is the MSM’s dream candidate, especially given the two clowns the Dems have to choose from. The only candidate they might have a chance against is Trump.

But where that strategy will blow up is a Trump win will ensure Bloomberg runs, and against either Dem plus Trump, he’ll likely run away with it.

And yet, Trumps opponents, including Cruz, aren't smart enough to use it against him.

What does that say about them, and their inability to deal with foreign advisories?

But the media loves the ratings

If they ignore Trump, their ratings will drop and whatever news source that is reporting on Trump will see a big increase in ratings and revenue.

Its all about the money

They are not going to make any ratings reporting on Hillary’s half empty middle school cafeteria campaign events

Thankfully, TRUMP has already plead “GUILTY, as charged.”
Truly a been-there-done-that scenario.

If they want to hear it all over again in a general election, so be it, I guess.

As for his relationships with women, the media will look pretty silly banging on TRUMP, when there’s Bill Clinton standing right over there, not too far away, I think.

Nonsense. Trump has been under assault, from more sides, for eight solid months. I’ve never seen anything like it. Even Rush admitted it.

His own party has attacked him, his supposedly friendly Fox TV network has attacked him, the main rag supposedly on his side has published a special issue attacking him.

So you can just drop this silly line that “oh, Trump will REALLY be attacked later.” Just nonsense.

Exactly. Trump is just vain enough to think ... you like me, you really like me.

And the press is just biding their time and making notes.
