The only way democrats win elections is when they convince the people they are not who they really are. It worked twice with Obama. He could not have pulled this off without the Media being totally in the tank for him. God I miss democrats like “Scoop” Jackson, and Sam Nunn, they were patriots.
Oddly enough Trump is the creation of the media. In the Republican primaries they gave him thousands of hours of relatively good coverage. They wanted him to be the Republican candidate as they deemed him easily defeat-able. To their absolute horror they found out they selected one of only three candidates that could defeat Hillary. The other two were Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The media recognized Cruz as a mortal threat and went after him and Rubio. The media gave us Trump and to their horror he won.
Yep.
From the WashPost article “Democrats must embrace ideological diversity “
IE: lie.
You are correct, but I sense in your review that you think Cruz or Rubio could have won. I thought early on that ANY GOP candidate could beat Cankles, but seeing how they went after Trump, I don’t think anyone but Trump could have survived.
They would have had seventeen mistresses out for Ted-—whether or not a single one was true. They would have hung Rubio’s debt problems around his neck. The difference is, both those guys at some point would have gone soft, apologized, or otherwise caved. Not Trump.
But I agree, the media and Dems all thought Trump would be easy to beat because as always, they didn’t pay attention to what the voters really wanted.
