âA lot of things going his wayâŚâ
Yeah, only if you are a psychopath. Absolutely nothing Trump has done has been good for this country, and the things heâs done wrong are criminal, unethical, and deeply harmful to our interests. Fox canât even criticize honestly without stroking Trumpâs massive ego.
McCain? You think a forgotten insult to John McCain will cost him the election? The derp is strong with this one.
Ignore Cavuto! Keep raving like a lunatic! Please continue to make our case for the 25th, impeachment, or just voting out in 2020! #anyonebuttrump
That jumped out to me also
Even when they bash him they kiss his ass in the same sentence .
Life on the Planet Faux
Maybe heâs been hitting a lot of putts lately?
"So put another way, is the messenger getting in the way of his own message?â
This is really a misunderstanding of Trump. He is his own message. What he gets in the way of is what his party would prefer that he talk about.
So what is wrong with insulting McCain is jeopardizing a second term for this asshole. Got it.
âor even a Fox News line-up weâre told that he clearly doesnât entirely embrace.â
SoâŚshould he be able to dictate who gets canned over there are the Crap Canning Factory? Itâs astounding he even thinks to say this.
More to the point: a whole bunch of these same people have been angry with McCain ever since his (perceived) slights of Sarah Palin during/after the 2008 election.
So, yeahâCavuto is still speaking as though the GOP hasnât become a cult of personality for Trump.
I mean, probably not, but I donât think itâs going to win Trump any voters who werenât already solidly in his camp.
Itâs one thing to make a play for the base, but their votes donât count double if theyâre extra super extremely ultra happy youâre owning the libs right and proper.
Do I think there are some people who voted for Donald Trump who are made somewhat less inclined to vote for him by his pitiful, boorish attacks on a dead man? Yes, I do.
Fox has mastered the art of putting words together that seem to make internal sense for only a vanishing second. Forget the absurdities sprouting from this thing like a mad chia pet, just look at the nice âlogicâ here. Or put another way, same does not equal different, moran:
"âŚis he the one who is ultimately getting in the way of himself and his party? ⌠So put another way, is the messenger getting in the way of his own message?â
Knowing McCain, and how he referred to his wife, Iâm sure he leveled some doozies, though likely well deserved, at Palin.
Waste of ink (for us). But a sop to Trumpers who still imagine themselves âmainstreamâ.
Given the gnat-like memory of the âconservativeâ voting public, I think its long been forgotten.
Thatâs pretty well certain. Game Change made those people so angry because it was told from the McCain campâs POV, and there was little love lost between them and the Palins behind the scenes.
Is anyone else starting to wonder if these âpummel]ings]â of Trump by Fox hosts is all part of the plan. (âSee, Fox really is balanced, these people criticize him!â) The criticism is generally just critical enough to come off as critical, but not so robust as to create blowback from the hordes.
Covuto misses the point. Yes, Trump is a disgrace . We all know that. Nothing new here. Even Trumpâs COS has long since acknowledged that Trump is a terrible human being. Trumpâs psychopathology is not the core problem, itâs the psychopathology of the conservative minded who would have someone like Trump as the leader of their country, thatâs the problem.
Cavuto neglects to note that the president also has a lot of things coming his way.
The witch hunters are in the streets with pitchforks and torches.
Trump is talking to a narrower and narrower subset of the Republican faithful. A lot of Republicans remember John McCain. The further from his death the closer to sainthood he is in their memory. By Tweeting these comments Trump risks diminishing the enthusiasm of those Republicans who have fond memories of McCain. Trump truly is stepping on himself. Will it cost him votes, probably not, but it will hurt with enthusiasm among some.
