This is a fine time for reporters to wake up and start doing their jobs!! How dare they just realize that Trump is a carnival barker who has created the ultimate reality TV series spinoff: Apprentice II, Leader of the Free World.
Donald Trump hasn’t suddenly turned into a mean-spirited, fear mongering, racist, sexist, ageist pig with thin, orange skin and a jaw-dropping combover. When Les Moonves (head of CBS) famously said, Trump may be bad for the country but he’s great for “our” bottom line, he was saying that media corporate profits were far more important than seriously reporting on Trump.
Since he first jumped into the campaign, with hired actors applauding his entrance, the media has been worshiping at the alter of Trump reporting each and every outrageous thing he’s said and done with breathless giddiness. They never asked follow-up questions, they never brought up the fact that they had both video and written proof that every time Trump opened his mouth he was lying. They nodded and smiled and tried to get him to say more outrageous things, acting as cheerleaders in his scorched earth approach to winning the Republican nomination.
Okay, okay they had the help of 16 other doofus candidates running to be the GOP standard bearer, who in most cases were only marginally more qualified than the Donald to be president, but still, Donald was the main attraction and they gave him uninterrupted free media coverage 24/7 for the entire length of the wacky Republican primary race. Against all reasonable expectations Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States!!
Unless the stupid media, who has finally seemed to snap out of their trance and realized how dangerous a Trump presidency can be, starts treating him like a real candidate. The last thing this country needs is for you guys and gals to begin pointing out what an incredible douche Donald Trump is before he gets the nomination. We want him to be the nominee!!
If you help him implode before the Republican convention, they may actually draft another candidate who has enough self-discipline to not say out loud reprehensible things about Hispanics, African Americans, disabled people, women, Muslims, gays and any other group that ticks him off (although they surely will be thinking it). They could, heaven forbid, not have such an easily traceable record of fraud, corruption, sexual harassment, bankruptcy (both moral and financial), and cheating widows and orphans for their own personal gain.
If we have any hope of sending this charlatan back to the creepy, oozy slime from whence he came, or of rocking the Republican party to it’s very foundations and winning back Congress, Donald Trump must be the nominee. The timing couldn’t be worse for reporters to remember what it is they’re supposed to do for a living, they need to keep doing what they’ve done for the past year . . . pretend they’re just observers at the three-ring circus. Donald Trump doesn’t need any help from them to come off like a bizarro cartoon caricature of a candidate running for the presidency, he does fine all on his own.
I’m begging you by all that is holy, mind your own business and let poor Donald be. This is the candidate that the Republican party has been building up to and waiting for the past three decades. Who are we to deny them?
