Why isn't Trump getting the credit and coverage he deserves? Because, at root, there is still a belief within the party establishment and the ranks of the media that he will somehow implode or voters will "wise up" or "get real" or something.

This election has shown much about who are friends, who are foes, what is up and what is down.

True. If any GOPe hack had led for 8 months in the polls by that much, nearly tied in IA and won NH by that huge margin, the media would have anointed him as “inevitable”, and would be talking about a “coronation”.

“Why isn’t Trump getting the credit and coverage he deserves?”

That’s funny, because everywhere I look, all I see is Trump. Take FR for example. 8 of the first 10 articles are related to Trump.

And strangely enough, four of those eight aren’t the same exact story from different podunk websites.

I hope the Cheap Labor Express chokes on Trump.

All of their lackeys in Congress will be quaking in their boots if his margin is big enough.

I don't know, I'm thinking pretty big! A landslide would send a pretty clear message.

I suspect the GOPe is hard at work on some scheme to screw Trump at the convention. Probalby in cahoots with one or more of the other candidates, possibly with Romney.

They are dumb, but I don’t think they are dumb enough to let this go without trying something dirty.

I don't always want to be president, but when I do I chose Conservative values. Drink wisely my friends.

LOL!

I think the pope gave him a huge endorsement today. SC is full of folks who think that Bergolio is, well, let's just say they don't think highly of that particular creep. his bashing of Trump was probably celebrated today in Trump's HQ in SC.

The majority of the GOPe are going to move into acceptance after next Tues night. NH, SC and NV in the bag is a lethal dose of reality.
