Look. We know conservatives have a hard time with the media. Even Trump says they have been unfair, while at the same time Cruz was complaining of all the positive Trump coverage that help sink his campaign. So which was it. Was Trump treated unfairly or was Cruz hampered by the positive Trump coverage? Depending on which camp you more closely identify will largely guide your answer. It's mostly perception.

Coverage this week on Cruz's speech was that he made an error in judgement. And that to a degree Trump played him like a fiddle. Cruz people will complain of negative coverage against their guy and that Trump was propped up as a genius. Trump people will say the media is trashing Trump.

What Brokaw said is exactly how a lot of people will perceive this. And that's what he said.

We tend to get in this unless news anchors are falling all over our guys with gushy comments, then it's designed to take them down mentality. We really need to get past that.

Since this "dark" all match.....let me tell you what I saw....

Just as when this country was started, there were so many jobs to be done and once again, we have to look at the docket. It's what we have been taught....look to the past....to build the future.

Our country is not "dark", it just needs the curtain to be opened to let the light in.

Our country was built on morality and wisdom and optimism. That's where our success lay back then and will lie in the future.

Yes, my toilet stopped up the other day. Must have been overloaded with “solids”. So, I applied the plunger. The getting of the plunger was motivated out of revenge, and because of the likely color of the blockage, I probably had racist thoughts based upon my white privilege.

So I dropped the plunger into the toilet bowl and gave it a couple of good shoves. Perhaps it was a microagression, perhaps it was something more sinister. I thought about calling in external help but decided against it.

And then my toilet started working. I paused, addressed my white privilege and then began to realize it was really *ass* privilege, and achieved nirvana shortly thereafter.

It’s sad to think in this day and age some still don’t have working lights.

The speech and the candidate delivering it is out there for anyone to view it. It was Trump's announcement speech that he was running for President that I watched on YouTube which helped garner my support. I couldn't detect the racism and bigotry that incited the media to try to "boycot" everything Trump and flush him before he even got started.

Like last night, the "machine" was rigged and ready before Trump even gave his speech to announce his candidacy and the media engaged in total unity of effort as if "Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel" had been muttered.

When demands for apology and appeals for boycotts went unanswered, I sensed something big was happening for the country regarding political correctness. The calls for submission failed and resulted in what he saw and heard last night.

Things are different today now and the media pointing the "racist, hate, bigotry" finger only begs for people to look and see the speech for themselves. I think they have and will like what they see and hear.

By the way, some of the biggest critics are the "nevertrumpers". They have become a case study of how prejudice completely filters events. If you want to talk about dark, depressed, and pessimistic voices, just do a few pages or words of them for a whiff.

Glad these idiots are telling me what to think.

I saw it myself. I heard it myself. And like the old African-American woman on the NRA commercial, I know my rights. I have the right to think for myself and they cannot shape my opinion and tell me how to vote.

Trump knocked it out of the park last night. Final scorecard is filled-in in November. Sure hope Americans can judge Trumo for themselves and not be lemmings of a liberal media.

Trump is freedom's last chance.

This reaction is quite similar to the media reaction to Trump's "They're ALL Rapists" (misquote) in Jun 2015.

They know he has struck a cord with the American people. They know there's resonance. They know he's peeling off pieces of THEIR constituency.

But all they can do is huff and puff about darkness and racism. It's all they have.

Because all the factual data, from increases in violent crime to unbridled increases in illegal immigration, dope, terrorism, killed cops...all of it is something no other Republican would cite and all of it was accurate.

They never thought they would have to deal with the truth, on penalty of the RACISM charge.

They are trying to make Americans ashamed for believing what any rational person believes.

And they are terrified.

abccbsnbccnnlatnyt continue to lose audience. The more audience they lose, the shriller they get. Plus, their collective credibility continues to tank, even among democrats.

Their facts are few and far between, and most view them as the propaganda arm of the DNC.

Their organizations performance has been weighed, and found lacking.

Dark is what you have with kitchen full of cockroaches. Light is that 1000 watt light bulb Trump switched on with his speech. They are now scrambling back to those dark places away from the light that shows what they are.

Democrats pass out talking points to all their outlets. The keyword for today is, “DARK”

It was a serious speech where he spoke plainly about what is really going on and what we really need.

Nothing new under the Sun.

The Nominee of the party not currently in the White House will always portray things as being bad. Every single time.

Chuck Todd: “He [Trump] painted a dark picture of where America stands today.”

For emphasis, Stephanopoulos repeated, “And Martha Raddatz, a pretty dark speech.”

The media--basically brainwashed talking heads & keyboard typing hands--have been the enforcers of the "Politically correct" narrative, which has been used to stifle discussion in opposition to the Leftist social narrative, for the past quarter century. They are now desperate to retain some relevance.

They are not particularly bright folk. They have no actual argument--no rational answer to Donald Trump's rejection of their bullying approach to any subject. They will increasingly revert to raw insult, because they have no notion of what else to do--truth being completely off their radar screens.

We need, wherever these opportunities crop up, to use them as foils to make our arguments resonate. (Its a working approach--conceptually much like the devise of having the John Wayne type thrash the bully in an old Western

The last thing the left wants is for law and order to be restored inside the big cities. They want dark people to continue to kill each other.

As a trucker I listen to the radio a lot. This morning the slant is how DTs address last night was the longest in memory. I listened and didnt think it was long enough.
