I caught some of the Sunday news shows and they all are losing their minds over Trump. They can't believe Trump won't grovel before them and apologize to some lying, racist, Fox News hack who was clearly given orders target him the way the IRS targets Tea Party 501c applications.
The Trump clown show is exposing the sham that is the Republican party and the U.S. celebrity focused media. Trump is as much a creation of the GOP as it is the mainstream media. And now the media after years of giving this clown credibility is absolutely apoplectic that they can't shut him down over some sensationalized sexual comment scandal. The "always get it wrong" pundit class has a case of chronic butthurt because Trump refuses to play by the MSM rules of apologize to them for calling them out for being worthless hacks with hidden agendas. They are clearly angry, indignant, scornful, and completely bent out of shape that Trump is defiant and is still solid in the polls.
Well F*CK THEM!!! Go F*CK YOURSELVES MAINSTREAM MEDIA!!! You didn't show a fraction of this discontent over Iraq WMD lies, 9/11 attack warning memos, Downing street memos, 4,000 dead Americans in Iraq, 200,00 thousand dead Iraqis, Abu Ghraib videos, water boarding, Blackwater Nisour Square massacre, Black secret torture sites, substandard equipment for military in Iraq, 9 Billion dollars missing in reconstruction in Iraq, 18 billion dollars in cash missing in Iraq, substandard building contracting so bad in Iraq that it kills personnel, rape of American women by Americans in Iraq, etc, etc, etc. Yet let one media clown of your own creation make some off hand vulgar remark about some newscaster from the Hooters Girls Network News channel and all of a sudden they are concerned, offended, and outraged. Go F*ck yourselves!!!
That is all.

I look forward to the continuing meltdown

I really like your OP and recommended it. Our focus should be on Jeb Bush who is the pre-chosen "nominee" of the Republican Party. All of the other candidates (with the single exception of Donald Trump) are merely window dressing within Karl Rove's 2016 stagecraft to give the appearance that Jeb Bush "competed"'for the GOP nomination. Rove and Bush had this thing all sewed up until Donald Trump showed up and wrecked their meticulous plans.
Most every media and GOP establishment attack against Donald Trump springs from their desperate need to eliminate him quickly. There's very big money on the line and invested into the Bush-Government-In-Waiting taking back power in 2016.
People need to remember how the Bush Cabal with Karl Rove slickly stole the 2000 and 2004 national elections. Donald Trump was not foreseen by them and he has a brief moment to turn over their apple cart and has them all in panic mode.
Notice: there still zero scrutiny of Jeb Bush.
Thank you for your OP.
The piling on Donald Trump reminds me of how the media did the orchestrated hit job on my candidate, Howard Dean.

(1,428 posts)He makes Walker look like Mr. Excitement. Even if the GOP manages to somehow eliminate Trump, Jeb! still has an uphill climb to establish himself as a viable candidate. So far he has spent all his time walking back gaffes a rookie politician would have never made in the first place and making milquetoast responses to Trump.
Good luck with that.

Pearl clutching and fainting couch diving is reserved for vulgar comments made by boorish media personalities. Actual policy positions detrimental to women held by sitting law makers is really of no concern to them.
