Matt Drudge Might Elect Donald Trump
salon.com ^ | DEC 24, 2015

Posted on 12/24/2015 6:36:42 AM PST by Helicondelta

Donald Trump has already won one important primary, and that's why he's not going anywhere any time soon.

Every time Donald Trump says or does something that would destroy the careers of most politicians, he maintains or even gains supporters. It seems that nothing he does erodes his support. His voters are loyal, that's for sure.

If you want to understand the Trump phenomenon and the durability of his campaign, you have to understand his voters and how they get their information. Many on the left mistakenly think that Trump supporters are "low-information voters." Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, it's the opposite. They consume a lot of news and information, and almost all of it comes from their most trusted source - Matt Drudge.

Matt Drudge is all in for Trump, and he is making sure that his millions of daily readers are getting the news.

The problem with Media, Democrats and RINO Establishment have in understanding Trump is in realizing that their lies, deceit, pandering, accusations, subterfuge, hypocrisy, obfuscation and “we don’t give a sh!t what you think” attitude have reached its own peak.

Voters have had enough lies and dissembling and they are ready to do something about it.

Sow the wind; reap the whirlwind.

Normally you don’t hear much from the Saloon. They just get drunk and pass out. This year, Trump has them in a panic. Fundamentally deranged.

All this; "it should/will destroy his career" flap is the best evidence of the evil of PC

EVERYTHING Trump has said that was supposed to kill him has been a PC violation of the keenest magnitude that has done nothing but skyrocket him into the White House and educate the American people to the evil that has been foisted on us for LO these many years

If nothing else, Trump has given a brass pair to a lot of men that didn't have any, and supported the ones that do

Screw the politics and the presidency and the USSC and etc., etc.

Trump has awakened a nation's PEOPLE, and once the people are awake, we take back and TURN BACK our country to the way WE want it !

The Drudge Report is little more than a collection of links to news which isn't slanted way to the left. Salon in jealous because they think they write original stuff.

How original can you really be by repeating the same DNC talking points?

The Beltway Bunch (media/politicians of both parties) have no idea what is going on in fly-over country. They have a myopic view of the world from their perches inside the Beltway.

Republican elites have been crying for a bigger tent. Trump, ironically, is delivering that and the elites are having fits.

It won’t be Drudge that gets Trump elected. Despite all their whining, the GOPe did more for their campaigns than anybody. That budget deal was the icing on the cake.

Thank God for this wonderful Christmas gift, The Donald. He is single handed bludgeoning the Uni-Party/Media monopoly on information and communication in our nation.

The fascists progressive/liberal/democrat culture that has dictated the terms, the language and the outcomes of every important cultural/political conversation, is finally, after long last, after decades of painful suffering by the loyal opposition...is finally being brought to ground.

Hallelujah, and Thank You to Donald Trump. (Who would have thought Santa would look and sound like a brusque NY City Business Tycoon?!)

I like Matt and wish he would bring back his radio show, but the website is little more than a news aggregate.

Yes, Ryan’s capitulation budget before this last one sealed it for me. My own damn congressman voted with John Lewis and Hank Johnson here in Georgia for it.

As it stands now, there is no incumbent Republican politician for whom I’ll be voting. Congressman or Senator.

Perfect, and your response summarizes what is happening in the presidential election.

I’m worried about the electoral votes out there ..... it’s possible that Hillary could sew up the majority of electoral votes while the Republican candidate gets the popular vote ..... That would really suck (Not to be confused with Schlonged)...

Washington. The immigration issue is another example of Trump's direct connection to Drudge. An opponent of immigration reform and "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants, Drudge has made it his top priority in recent years. His coverage of that issue has been credited with killing the "Gang of Eight" legislation in Washington, and even leading to the primary defeat of former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R- Va.

Of course, Trump has made immigration the centerpiece of his campaign and he credits best-selling author and conservative provocateur Ann Coulter's new book, "Adios America," with shaping his view on that issue. Coulter and Drudge are close friends. In fact, they were seen sitting together in the audience at last week's Republican debate on CNN. She even dedicated one of her many bestsellers to Drudge.
