I applaud The Donald's deft use of the political arena to generate publicity for his reality TV program at the expense of an army of gullible and weak-minded birfers.
Well done Trump!
It seems Trump was far more important to the Left then anyone else as noticed by all the insipid hate spewed at him from the left. Quite entertaining.
That's my take on it too. Obama's personal attack on Trump was unprecedented in its snarkiness and the amount of time devoted to it--most unpresidential of the President--and I haven't seen that level of viscious media intensity leveled at anybody with the exception of Sarah Palin. The Donald must have been perceived as a HUGE threat that had to be squashed immediately.
Unfortunately, the non stop negative barrage was effective in diminishing his approval ratings and he no doubt knew that would be more difficult to overcome than it was worth if it could be overcome at all. Winning with almost all of the MSM opposing is extremely difficult to do. We no longer have an objective press.
As soon as the next GOP candidate emerges as a front runner, however, you can expect the same treatement to be launched at that person.
