Freedom of the Press? Wasn't GOP for the Constitution? Ohh never mind..that only counts when the press is on your side :-) LOL
Trumpster will reign in ALL such coverage..as he does have a history of seeing anybody who disagrees or sues or threats to ....Just look what he did to that Judge who ruled against him? He's simply a thin-skinned personality to bullies in order to get his way..POTUS has checks and balances..unlike running a business..LOL
Put him into POTUS power..WHOA~~ GOP Constitutionalist will have a revelation ..The Monster they created completely undermined what their original agenda was..SO GOP knows full well...GOP could be not only DEAD..BUT Buried!!
Is it any wonder why folks like Romney and other's are having a hissy fit? Too bad as THEY do know THEY created this Trump Monster.. While that is true.., the only people who are suffering are the majority of Citizens...not just those few millions ( comparison to national voters), who Love his HATE Preach

Gee....Trump is not a doormat like Mitt, McCain & Ryan & most of the rest of the GOP. Good on him.
They are not doormats and would not have accomplished what they have if they were. Furthermore, they fully understand that Trump is taking the Party over the cliff and are working hard to not go over with him.
I think they will still be around and respected long after Trump is a bad memory. However they may have to form another party, or reconstitute whats left after 2016, because this republican party, with Donny leading it, is headed for extinction.

Exactly. I probably fall on the liberal side of the political spectrum, but Romney's disgust with Trump has actually made me respect him more. It goes to show that he is a principled man.
Also last I checked the first amendment does cover something called freedom of the press does it not? I guess though because he is such a business genius, he can't let a little detail like the first amendment get in his way.
You don't understand what Freedom of the Press means with the 1st Amendment.
Pulling the WaPo's Press Credentials has nothing to do with any 1st Amendment violations, it means that they can't get special access at his PRIVATE events.
Freedom of the Press means that the government can't without due process limit what the press writes, not the Press is guaranteed special access to PRIVATE events.

Yes...I am sure you said this about Obama pulling FoxNews and others -- you hypocritical sheep.
Crazy? Like a fox maybe. Trump has been critical of the media since day one. The voters don't care about what he thinks or does with regards to the press... What he is doing is keeping himself in the headlines and you can bet that they're going to want to interview him on this and when they do he will use it to further his agenda. Aside from what's going on in Orlando.. His pulling of WP's credentials is ALL OVER the news. He knows he can't stop them from covering him, and that he's going to get even more coverage from the others.
His minions don't care what he does and get off on him sticking it to the media. Regrettably, for him they don't represent a majority of the general electorate. As one who is cheering for his resounding defeat and humiliating beat down, I hope he keeps on acting and campaigning the way he is currently doing.
If so, he will be lucky to win much more than the deep south and Texas and get crushed in the Electoral College. Also hope he's dumb enough to waste his time and money, as he says he will, in California, New York and New Jersey, where he has no shot.
Crazy like a fox not really!
