The MSM no matter what channel it seems keeps giving Teflon Donald a stage.Nothing of importance is coming out of his mouth just whinning and complaining.I see he keeps talking about his large audiences whenever he talks and he still dosen’t understand why he losing in the polls.From George Will,don’t agree with anything Will has said but here he hit it out of the park,IMO.

"“He(Trump) seems to confuse the enthusiasm of the crowds in front of him at the moment in the high school auditorium with the larger electorate,” he said. “Whereas, in fact, crowds are definitionally not a representative selection of the American people.”

I am sure the high thin air will improve the incoherency of what he has to say.

I once heard my grandfather exclaim about something or other he was invited to do: “***I’d rather slam my penis in a car door.***” ___ I believe I would feel the same if invited to attend the Con Summit with Trump as keynote.

And half of those crowds are wrong about who’s going to win the football game after the pep rally.

They also confuse the crowds by describing them as working-class people who feel they’ve been left behind in the “new economy”, equating them to Bernie supporters. That seems to be the media’s running description of who attends tRump rallies, and for the most part, that’s complete bullshit. They are either gawkers that were probably part of the Apprentice show fan club, or flat out bigots, that feel their way of life is being taken over by all those ‘stinkin’ minorities’…or both. It’s not economic anxiety they feel mainly (as many are already in retirement), but a ‘fear of the other’ that drives them to those rallies, in order to get validation for their anxiety and hatred.

People in the media don’t seem to get it that there are still a lot of people that don’t like to admit their biases out loud when interviewed, but love the opportunity to be able to shout racial, ethnic or religious epithets in a room with like-minded haters and paranoiacs.

It has less to do with “economics” and more to do with the answers to these two questions:

(1) Are you white? YES_______ NO ________

(2) Do you believe that Mr. Obama is Muslim? YES_______ NO_______

On a tangential note…I have not seen GOP analyst Steve Schmidt lately on the tube. When Trump started being a real factor last winter, Schmidt jumped on the Trump bandwagon, claiming that Trump’s rise was based on America’s dis-satisfaction with President Obama and a host of other “jobs” related themes. I saw him do it twice…once with Lawrence and once with Rachel. In both occasions, Schmidt over-talked and would brook no interference in making his points.

I find it ironic that the film “Game Changer” (in which Woody Harrelson played a very upright and favourably-portrayed Schmidt) anointed Schmidt as a “moderate”.

It’s the rara republicana who will straight come out and say on TV “I’m not supporting trump. He’s bad for the party” or words to that effect. They must equivocate if they’re ever to be invited back and/or keep their party bona fides intact.
