The media are in it up to their eyeballs too, as is FOX News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt. The guy has been relentless in his attacks against Trump since the first debate because Trump slammed Megyn Kelly. In doing so, FOX News is actively engaging in campaigning, and whether for or against any particular candidate, that behavior (creating news outside of the facts) is wrong in my view. There are many more like Stirewalt on all the TV channels campaigning against Trump. Suffice it to say, what a relief it will be when the actual voting gets started. One thing is certain, the voter is more engaged this election cycle than any would have imagined. Self governance may not be completely dead after all.Listening to Rush yesterday, he said the same thing. The Republicans know they can't win the white house without some Dems crossing over. A poll showed 20% of Dems was willing to do that to vote for Trump. Yet, the "Establishment" is trying their best to run those away. The GOP doesn't even stand for what they say they do. I'm truly amazed at how dysfunctional this group of politicians really are right now. They have no idea what they stand for anymore or what they want. As for Ryan and Mcconnell i believe that ship has sailed. They both honestly believe what they have done and are doing is the correct thing. Now, my question is this. If Trump or Cruz win this, will Mcconnell work with them as POTUS or will they fight against them?
According to Lou Dobbs this evening, Trump has ignited the Republican base in a manner not seen since the days of Ronald Reagan. And the similarities are eerily similar. Just as in Reagan's case, the establishment hates Trump and have tried their best to turn the voter against him. The media are no better with their constant make believe scenarios which feature all kinds of make believe pit falls in a prospective Trump Presidency. Further, he has succeeded in uniting support and the Republican base in a manner that has exceeded the RNC's wildest hopes, and the bozos are still blasting away at him just as predicted.
Dobbs and precious few others such as Hannity and Stewart Varney have been trying to point out the obvious truth here, and they have done so as pointedly as possible where it applies to folks such as Nikki Haley. She might want to consider that Trump is leading among voters in her own state by a wide margin the next time she feels the urge to slam Mr Trump. Those are Republican voters we're talking about, a fact that has seemingly escaped her. When she slams Trump, she's slamming a very large segment of her own constituency.
As for Haley, she has done nothing but hurt herself IMO. I'm not sure which one is considering her for VP but i can honestly say i won't vote for that person as long as she is on the ticket.
