Haha-same here. Or anytime they completely ignore and omit a candidate from discussion/polls like Ron Paul in 2012.

Perhaps the right-wing media fear that Trump is actually a Democratic trojan horse designed to make them look really bad.

Every-time someone trashes Trump though he welcomes it, and bashes them back in public comments--which serves to keep the attention on him.

When Scott Walker left the race this weekend, the focus was on that for a day, though Trump attacked Fox News to get the news cycle back on him.

With Attention Fading, Trump Restarts Battle With Fox News - NBC News

The GOP establishment is scared of Trump, though if he's the nominee, they'll get on board. Trump is basically a PT Barnum type though in how he invites any attention as good attention.

I think it's bs how much influence the media has on our elections... people really need to wise up
Martha McCallum has followed Megyn........it's very obvious they don't want Trump to win!

Also, shows how clickish Fox News is.........fair and balanced is becoming quiet the joke!

Default Trump may not be the corporate patsy that they want.

He's unpredictable and not necessarily controllable. He's not itching to be a billionaire at our expense. He's already a billionaire. They want a patsy like Jeb or Hillary.

That's exactly why most folks tend to stay away from him. They are out in the Field, trying to sell themselves, and Trump is like a Big unpredictable Land Mine. Step on him, and he may just make noises , and sting your toes, or he may blow both your legs off. Few want to take the chance. That's compounded by the fact that he refuses to be "Politically Correct" so if he goes off, the "Blast" could contain anything.

Much like a Bomb made ignoring the Geneva Convention. It could contain deadly Biological, chemical, or radioactive material, or conventional explosives. Who would not be afraid to tamper with that a lot. Add the fact that there is no deactivating key or procedure, and he is scary to opposition.

I find it extremely entertaining.

Because he is adulterer, cheated on two wives, Trump doesn't go to church, he has never read the Bible, he was prochoice and and progay marriage, even called himself a democrat. He kissed another man's neck. He wants universal healthcare, he wants to raise taxes.

How can you expect them to love Trump. He doesn't represent conservative values.

Yes--he's like the homeless crazy guy on the train. Nobody wants to say anything that could set off a tirade and bring the attention of the nutcase to reign down upon them.
