When the embers of 2016 have burned out and are finally cool to the touch, we'll look back and see that the real story of the 2016 campaign wasn't about Trump, or Sanders, or anger, or populism -- it was the utter failure of traditional journalism to live up to its foundational principles. It has been a long time coming, but mainstream outlets have finally crossed the Rubicon into click-bait journalism and have handed over control of the narrative to the Fifth Estate.

Somewhere along the way, journalism forgot that its first obligation is to the truth and that it should maintain independence from those they cover and not become part of the story. This abject failure is the reason for Trump's success. Had he been scrutinized in the slightest, and, in light of that scrutiny, been given the proper levels of media attention he deserved -- which is to say, none -- Trump would be polling below Ben Carson levels.

Trump is purely a media creation and if you truly wanted to "kill Trump," this is how you would do it -- by strangling his coverage.
Do Not Resuscitate, why did you ragequit the thread and delete your previous 1,159 posts, and change your name last Friday :confused:

It's really weird that when internet leftists start using one of their ultimate power words with the intent of provocation, people are provoked and respond to it.

Mere days away from the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump decides to get into a twitter feud with Ben Sasse, the junior senator from Nebraska, a guy that no one realized existed until today.

In a thread full of wrong opinions, this is one of the wrongest. The Kushites conquered Egypt in about 760 BC, and were eventually expelled by the Assyrians. About 2000 years after the great pyramids were built.

I think Senator Ben Sasse is the final establishment attempt to take down Trump. Sasse is going to kamikaze himself into a twitter feud with Trump so that he's so distracted he can't even campaign.

The foundation of narcissim is deep insecurity. Once somebody can find his irrational hot-button, and guess at how to approach it he simply can't defend against it.

Donald Trump is the mothership from Independence Day.

It started last week when Sasse said that Trump's affairs with married women meant he was unqualified to be president.

Sasse might not have been speaking from personal experience yet, but I have a feeling he soon will be.
