The Washington Post Becomes Unhinged On Donald Trump
Investor's Business Daily ^ | February 25, 2016

Posted on 02/26/2016 7:29:10 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Media Bias: Donald Trump has many personal and policy flaws, and we disagree with him on trade and other issues. But one of the stronger cases for Trump for president is that the left absolutely reviles him.

It's almost fun to watch them squirm and even become unhinged at the idea of Trump becoming the Republican nominee, let alone the occupant of the Oval Office. The Washington Post's latest anti-Trump tirade was classic media bias on full display.

It tells the GOP leadership to "do everything in your power" to stop the "unthinkable" of a Trump presidency from happening because it signifies the "debasement of the party." He is "a menace" and a "bullying demagogue," the Post hisses.

OK, they're certainly entitled to their opinion. But then the editorial turns vile and vapid: "He would round up and deport 11 million people, a forced movement on a scale not attempted since Stalin or perhaps Pol Pot."

Really? Trump is another Stalin or Pol Pot, the butchers of millions and millions of people? Amazingly, the left always talks about raising "the level of discourse" in America and then they write this slur of a candidate who has the support of millions, if not tens of millions of voters....

There is another benefit - it seems like every day another Hollywood celebrity is threatening to leave the country.

This is beginning to feel like a well planned PSYOP. ;-)

The RNC/GOPe are now facing the looming probability that Chris Christie was a mole, an insurgent, the entire time.
They have to think about it that way. Sure Christie and Trump were known friends, but the RNC/GOPe are now faced with hindsight filled with worry. While Christie was inside the network, was he more “loyal” to his friend Donald Trump than he was to his role within the apparatus?
Notice today when asked about his endorsement the key phraseology from Christie spoke about loyalty to his friend Donald Trump. The word loyalty is key. This is “code of Omerta” type loyalty. The witnessing audience might not fully grasp the intense significance.
It cannot be overstated how significant the concerns of the RNC/GOPe must be. They must be apoplectic, heck, beyond apoplectic, with a realization that Christie was not who they thought him to be all along. We can be certain the RNC/GOPe phones and emails are still in full meltdown mode.
One of the more consequential realities (what helps prove the thesis) is when you remember how importantly loyalty is viewed by Donald Trump. For the GOPe to now contemplate Chris Christie might have been part of that Trump inner circle all along is almost unfathomable.

"He would round up and deport 11 million people"

Bill Clinton did that, right? Was he Pol Pot as well?

My brother has a very bad case of TDS. He has posted every WaPo article and editorial on Facebook. I am trying to block all of them. I would rather not block or unfollow my brother. My brother is a very bright and well educated person and cannot give me a single reason that he’s anti-Trump. He just starts in name calling. So I’m not letting it be part of our relationship.

Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos had his first tour stop at Rutgers. SJW hidden in the crowd start shouting insults, screaming and donning red paint in protest. The crowd tried to tell them if they don’t want to hear it, leave, but instead they chant they are stopping hate. (So even conservatives meeting in their own space can’t, because liberals think free speech includes in private.)
Someone started shouting Trump, Trump, Trump. Just like the rallies, but at a university. The crowd united behind the chant, and the liberals threw more red paint before retreating.
And at Milo Yiannopoulos stop this week, the same thing happened, with Trump’s name a rallying cry for standing up for our values.
This is why Trump has a good chance of winning. He is standing up to the liberal bullies whose definition of safe is silencing opinions they disagree with - essentially fascism in the name of protecting feelings.
And while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have both had press events interrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters, Donald Trump has countered their arguments succinctly on the fly as he made security drive out the protesters.
This is literally standing up and defending American values of freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of belief.
It is challenging the premise that opposing illegal immigration is racist instead of apologizing that you’re not really a racist, challenging the far left where too long they’ve been allowed to set the narrative and shout down others with vile names for expressing discontent. I’ve heard the term cry-bullies used to describe these fascists. And Trump stands up to them without apology when they yell at him, and he won’t apologize to their tears, either.

I prefer Cruz ideologically, but it is heartening to see SJW shut down repeatedly in public - and now Trump’s name is that unifying focal point.
And that is an amazing piece of branding that could carry him to the Presidency.
