The only problem I have is the GOPe going against trump. However, this could make trump stronger since they are vetting the crap out of him. Hillary won’t have anything to use. Cruz hasn’t been vetted at all. In fact the media has given Cruz a free pass this entire primary.

I'm a Cruz fan but I don't like what's going on with the GOPe/Trump either. It will hurt us in the runup to November no matter who wins.

But I have to disagree on the Cruz Free Ride. It has been the Cruz, Who's Cruz? Campaign by the MSM. They have picked on Trump no doubt but that $2billion in free advertising certainly hasn't hurt him any. I'm sure Cruz would gladly trade his treatment by the press for Donald's.

I totally agree that Trump is brilliant at manipulating the MSM, but IP, you and others keep throwing out that $2 billion in free advertising that Trump is supposedly getting. Have you paused to think how outrageous this claim is? The scale of the number isn't consistent with reality.

Here are the total Fox news revenues for two years. Together they add up to $1.5. billion. How can you possibly believe BS numbers thrown out by the media without checking the claim first.

Advertising Revenues

Fox News 2013_____$776.4 mil

Fox News 2014_____$778.4 mil

Source is.http://www.journalism.org/media-indicators/cable-news-advertising-revenue/

CNN revenues were about half of Fox and MSNBC were less than a third of Fox.

Let's stay consistent with FR tradition by presenting verifiable numbers and leave overblown speculative unknowable wild ass guesses to the DU crowd.
