LOL the irony.

But most of the coverage has been Enquirer like. 'Look at the clown' type stuff and 'he can't be serious.' There has been no purported push for him by the networks. The networks went chasing ratings thinking he was so outrageous that he would never catch on. No one thought he would ever outshout his way past the thought police.

Are you for real? How many 30 minute phone interviews did other candidates get on CNN? How many live campaign rallies from other candidates did the networks break from their normal coverage to show?

Chasing ratings since they never thought him to be a threat. Look at MSNBC. Philosophically, they are at odds with Trump, but they are addicted to the ratings he brings in. Wait until the general election, when the actual marbles are on the table. This is all prologue.

The reason Hillary is in big trouble. TPP. Trump will slay her with TPP because we aren't supposed to talk about it.

Trump on manipulating the media.

http://www.usnews.com/news/the-repo...6/trump-is-a-master-at-manipulating-the-media

What was true in 2004 is true today because Donald Trump is still working from the same playbook. Here's what he wrote in his 1987 book, "The Art of the Deal:"

"One thing I've learned about the press is that they're always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better … If you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you."

When Trump insults war heroes, women, immigrants, his fellow candidates, Congress, members of the media – the list goes on and on – those are not one-off spontaneous outbursts where Trump is just popping off. Those are carefully planned "outrageous," "sensational" stories used as bait to get the press to write about him – by his own admission. And it's working. He's become a master at manipulation.

Isn't it a bit early in the day to be drinking?

And next week we'll be about to see the separation of money and prostitution. Oh wait; I almost convinced myself that because they had different letters they were actually different things.

I wonder if Justin's been drinking?

Saw a headline earlier, "Will conservatives run a third party candidate to oust Trump?"

LOL.

It's funny that they made all the candidates sign that pledge document saying they would support nominee and not run third party to handcuff Trump.

What's that saying, about shoes and feet?

Trump got almost three times as many votes as Sanders and Clinton combined.

Are you sure those were votes?

Obviously FOX is in the tank for Rubio. All morning they were saying that Trump had a decent win, but Mitt Romney received 50% in the Nevada caucus four years ago and Trump only 46%. Here's an interesting statistic I found on drudge this morning that will never be reported by the lame stream media.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/trump...ney-had-at-this-point-in-2012/article/2001230

Trump Has Won More Votes Than Romney Had At This Point in 2012 . Mitt Romney won Nevada's caucus in 2012 with about 50 percent of the vote. He did so by pulling in roughly 16,000 total votes – roughly the same number that second-place finisher Marco Rubio pulled in this year. Donald Trump, by contrast, more than doubled Romney's total, garnering 34,500 votes. All told, Trump has now won approximately 420,000 votes. After the first four states had voted in 2012, Mitt Romney had won about 311,000 votes. Back in 2008, meanwhile, eventual nominee John McCain had won a little more than 250,000 votes after Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada had voted.

What do you mean? There could have been some ballot stuffing, but most of the votes are legitimate. There was probably some ballot stuffing for Sanders and Clinton too.

If Rubio had this level of support from voters at this juncture, FOX would be anointing him Messiah.

I mean were those both actual vote totals you were looking at - what were they? A while back something like that came up in Iowa or something and it turned out the Dems counted precincts delegates or something and the Republicans were counting votes or something, but either way it appeared way more Republicans were voting..

Perhaps that's the case. I'm just going Politico's totals, which seem to show actual votes. Maybe the Democrats are using common core math.

They are all going to be on Megyn Kelly tonight for a two hour special. You know Kelly is going after Trump for the kill. She would love nothing more than to be the David who slays Goliath.

Only about ten percent of REPUBLICAN voters even participated in the Nevada Caucus. About 70,000 in a state with three million residents (2.5% of the entire state).
