I don’t quite buy the “media gave us Trump”. They covered him to be sure, just as they do now, 24/7. But please recall the monstrous, vapors-inducing coverage he received for:
1) Calling out many illegal immigrants rapists and criminals who Mexico shoved over the border.
2) Calling for a muslim ban
3) Insulting McCain’s war record
4) Insulting Vagyn Smelly after the first debate
5) Vowing to surveil the mosques
6) Insulting Carly’s face
7) Send all illegals home
8) Calling out GWB for deception going into Iraq
9) Telling the world theat thousands of US muslims celebrated 9-11
10) Demanding that Perry take and IQ test
It goes on and on. Media Coverage yes. BUT - 90% negative and hysterical, including “conservative” media including Fox News, National Review, the WSJ, Human Events, Weekly Standard, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Salem Media, Medved, Hot Air, Hugh Hewitt, 98% of former GOP consultants, Right Scoop, The Federalist, the NY Post, Red Eye Radio, NH Union Leader, the entire British Press, the Blaze, Investors Business Daily, News Max, the Washington Times, Twitchy, Allen West, Powerline, American Spectator, Front Page Magazine, Lucianne.com, AIM, AEI, Heritage Foundation, etc, etc etc.
The ONLY positive media he had was Ingraham, Hannity, Dobbs, Coulter, Howie Carr, Savage, Breitbart, Drudge and the Conservative Treehouse.
The media coverage of Trump WAS negative. That helped him. He called them liars which endeared us to Trump.
I have followed Trump’s carreer with some interest over the decades and while I have never been a fan his coverage was always positive. The foaming at the mouth venom the media has sprayed at him has been frankly, over the top. They are so stupid he is playing them. We hated them before Trump. Trump makes them hate them, instantly he is some one we trust and love. A moron could have seen this but the BSM didn’t.
Add Rush Limbaugh to the wishy-washy crowd.
Add Mike Gallagher to the positive for Trump group.
