Everything. Everything has been turned upside down. Trump keeps taking kidney punch after kidney punch in the media and just keeps on blowing through stop signs with no sign of slowing down. Meanwhile, Hillary will still get the nomination thanks to winning larger states and the delegates that go with them, but even her most strident supporters will admit theres absolutely no wind at her back going into the general, particularly with the threat of an ugly revolt at the Democratic convention looming in Philadelphia this summer.
But Trump continues to climb. And its not because of a bold economic strategy or grand plan to defeat ISIS. Hes simply playing the media like a grand piano on the kind of sensational stuff they love to eat and breathe (largely for ratings, but also to avoid the tedious work of policy deep-dives) all while taking what should be devastating stories and somehow turning them into positives.
The old complaint from Republicans used to be that the media is out to get them. How can we win when theyre so mean to us? they whined. But heres the dirty little secret:
A press obviously hostile towards its nominee is now an advantage. The messenger is as flawed as the candidate they target.
Know this: All of those massive egos in the industry are having a very hard time accepting theyre not remotely as influential as they thought they were. And Donald Trump who has witnessed and learned from the toughest press of all in the form of the New York tabloids is not only punching back but landing more than just kidney punches.
The polls are moving is his direction. The drift defies conventional logic.
Thats what happens when an unafraid, unconventional candidate is running the show.

What do you think will happen if, when the Democrat Convention starts, it appears certain that Hillary will lose the Presidential election?
The Dems will throw Hillarious under the bus and either field Uncle Joe Biden, or try to run Obama for a third term (citing FDR as precedent).
Hillary has strengths? Criminal yes....but what “strengths” if any that Trump would want? He has his own good strengths galore!
....
Keep this in mind when anyone mentions the Clintons
This act cannot be forgiven or forgotten. She belongs behind bars...NOT running for potus......

THAT IS AN OUTSTANDING SLOGAN!. And very original..I love it
Best part of this? Clinton gets the nomination at a time when she is trailing Trump by 5 points OUTSIDE OF THE MOE. Dems are screwed.
The constant media dirty attacks on Trump helps Trump.
Why? because it’s obvious they have taken sides and Independents are moving into Trump’s camp in huge numbers, Independents like underdogs.
Great slogan!
Won’t work. The 23 rd amendment prohibits more than two terms. As to Biden, he is a total creep who has somehow survived two brain aneurisms. Not a great health record.
I suspect the Dems won't be able to do this. One, the Clintons never, ever quit; they never go away. No amount of pressure will get HRC to bow out. Two, if the Dems supplant HRC with Biden, and then Biden loses, well, that’ll be worse than if HRC had lost. Third, Obama doesn't want a third term. He's just too lazy.
