You are correct that Donald Trump was the only candidate who was capable and willing to go against the MSM without flinching. It comes from his successes as a businessman. Politicians quickly learn that they need to modify their true feelings in order to get past the corrupt press corps/police.
I was not a fan of Trump, the candidate, originally, but it became obvious to me somewhere around last Christmastime that none of the others had the confidence and gumption to really fight the battle. So to Donald Trump, I say Hooray! Hooray for your stamina, hooray for your belief in America, and hooray for your willingness to never give up.
I do hope he gets a few nights sleep under his belt, for his future is a going to be a tough one.
