In 1964, legions of Americans were terrified of Goldwater. But Barry never did this.
Had he done so, the Press would have never let it go.
Trump repeatedly does it and increases in popularlty.
I now believe that Trump will never win the Presidency. Trump’s name is appropriate. He is leading the Rump of America and they will maximize their venom, so long as he stimulates them.
What is stopping him are the other American voters. There are too many other people who are horrified at the prospect of Trump in the White House.
There is no pivot or etch-a-sketch that big, even with a compliant MSM.
This is completely indicative of the type of fascist presidency this guy would run.
Silence any dissent, criticism or disagreement by any means possible. Right now he has a few options: bullying, belittling, getting his followers to gang up on you, excluding you from events. Imagine what would happen if you gave him the power of the presidency?
Stomps all over the news media, throws them out of events, jokes about not having them killed … and they still treat him with fawning attention. Pathetic.
was the meeting in a public restaurant by invitation only? i’m thinking laws were broken. you have to leave because of something you wrote? huh. i would have ordered a pizza and sat down. these reporters should grow a pair and refuse to leave. lawsuits pending.
Nah, Trumps not thin-skinned, he’s just trying to fit the mainstream GOP campaign practices. I remember reading regular stories like this during both of W’s campaigns and Mittens too. I’m not so sure about any of the Democratic candidates, but when your campaign hecklers love concealed carry it would be prudent. I do remember watching the original footage of Joe the Plumber and thankfully we had a candidate (Go Obama!) with both intestinal fortitude and the ability to address his hecklers himself.
I don’t understand. Are there any major newspapers giving him good press? Wouldn’t he have to kick out almost everyone? Or are his events now covered only by right-wingers with twitter accounts?
It would be nice to see the media consider this a bridge too far and simply stop covering him. Just don’t go. Don’t write, don’t film, don’t blog, tweet or skype. Ignoring T-Rump would just kill him.
That the media haven’t schlonged Trump shows he has them cowed. They’re afraid to call him what he is: an extra classy gold plated diamond encrusted pendejo.
