Media trumpeting Trump implosion, but is it real?
Fox News ^ | August 4th, 2016 | By Howard Kurtz

This is what a full-fledged feeding frenzy looks like.

With Donald Trump facing the roughest stretch of his candidacy, the media have moved from questioning his sanity to depicting a campaign in disarray and top Republicans still wondering whether they can dump the nominee.

That won’t happen, of course, but it’s an indication of the toxic nature of the coverage and the flood of anti-Trump leaks now washing across the media landscape.

There’s a natural piling-on effect when campaigns go off the rails: The polls dip, the critics step up their rhetoric, staffers start pointing fingers, and the press keeps the vicious cycle going.

But I’ve never seen anything like this.

Things reached the point yesterday morning that CNBC’s John Harwood tweeted: “Longtime ally of Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager: 'Manafort not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal.'"

The fourth estate is a mouth piece for the pro-Islamic globalist elites. They are shills (dhimmis)for the Wahabbists who run Saudi Arabia and are, indeed, a fifth column for them.

Trump is all we have and Trump is all we have.

I don’t think God is on GOPe side nor hitlery...and God used worse characters than Trump...and He used Solomon, who had 700 wives and a few sex slaves.

“That may have been true in the past, but I fear that this is an election for survival on both sides and we’re into Fight Club rules now.”

Yup, “conventional wisdom” need not apply this election cycle. It hasn’t been right so far, at least.

Seth Rich is a good candidate for the source of those DNC leaks. He worked for the DNC and was recently murdered in Washington D.C. Robbery was not the motive since nothing was taken from him. Another example of “arkancide?”

Catmom,

I don’t know who those pollsters are asking; those pollsters are skewing the questions and cherry picking the people...

Look at the number of people at a Trump rally as compared to that at a shrillary rally...

Shrillary had to bus in people and she hasn’t given press conferences.

And besides, she can’t physically keep up with Trump.

McCain. Don’t get me started on that bum. He spent any moral capital he had for being a POW a long time ago.

Clinton IS narowly ahead now. Something is fishy with Indies, in most polls, they are being undersampled by about 8 to 10 points. The F and M PA poll was 48 percent Dem! 38 R, and 12 Indies!

Sorry to be a downer but I’m afraid these bad polls are the real deal.

Are you sorry to be redundant and annoying?

So you said Hellery is ahead...based on what?
integritious statistics?
Gutfeel?
Crowd sizes venues?
Integritous news reports ?

Do you get my point?

The premise has no basis...that is where we are inside Orwellian novels.

Do the math. Women and minorities alone put the bitch over 40%.

It’s a type of propaganda that campaigns send out to do a psy-op on the electorate. Don’t put any weight into it.

A few random quotes from RINOs is suddenly an “implosion”. Nay and never.

Hugh Hewitt is a globalist, plain and simple. He pushed the feckless Neel Kaskari for governor and would not give a good man like Tim Donnelly the time of day.

I am done with this kind of "conservative."

Again, no reason to panic, but it should be Americanism vs.Globalism from now until Election Day.
