What The Media Doesn't Get About Donald Trump
Yahoo Political News ^ | 7/21 | Ken Tucker

Posted on 07/21/2015 8:50:00 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Why is Trump confounding to reporters, editors, and cable-news outlets? Because he does not back down. Because he does not apologize.

This attitude toward the merest hint of offensiveness extends into show business, to be sure. It’s the main reason Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock have said they no longer have any interest in performing on college campuses, because between liberal political-correctness and conservative sensitivity or rage at the expression of any liberal opinion, we’re grooming generations of college grads, many of whom will be intolerant of listening to any opinion other than the mannerly, assiduously inoffensive ones they’re taught it’s safe to hold.

What!? When did that ever stop any liberal from saying anything?

BS article, written by a wannabe looking for attention.

The same thing that frightens the MSM and the old white guy republicans is what excites America. Trump is a man who says clearly where he stands without a filter and won’t back down. Why? Because he is right.

When has this ever occurred to the point of stopping a speaker and driving him from the stage?

It’s not about Trump. It is about the lame politicians that are not looking out for the average American. Trump is the only one out there speaking for them, so by default, he is getting their support.

He hates himself? Look at his past remarks and actions the man is the definition of RINO. I do not get the love for him just because he is saying things now. The man has no convictions.

It’s not about Trump.

While I'm enjoying Trump's no apology tour, I know he accidentally stumbled across this sore spot with most Americans. What I find amusing is that he doesn't have a clue that he just barely kicked the crust off the surface of the anger. For most of us, it isn't just the illegal criminals, it's the illegal acts of our government.

By not enforcing the laws they have forced us to pay for the support of people that should never have been allowed here. The fact that Obama is bringing 100,000 Muslim immigrants per year legally is just as infuriating as the criminals that are allowed to stay.

About HuffPo? Heck, no one expects news from that marketing cesspool of greed.

This guy, and all the media, miss- or intentionally hide- that THEY ARE THE PROBLEM. Donald’s success comes from facing the problem: them.

Tucker is as bad as all the rest of the liberal lying press. For starters, Trump did NOT say "McCain is not a war hero… because he was captured", as 'quoted' by Tucker. This is a deliberate lie by Tucker. Trump actually said: "McCain IS a war hero because he was captured". So Tucker deliberately reversed Trump's actual words, and tried to get away with it by adding three little dots....

The reason Trump has so many supporters is because he speaks the truth, even when it is not Politically Correct. The Lyin' Liberals try to force him to back down, and then whine when he doesn't. Too many Washington politicians back down when the whining is long enough and loud enough, but Trump doesn't. That's why liberals fear him, and conservatives love him.

liberal speak

apology = a lie designed to mitigate a PR problem, a rug under which an action can be swept.
