2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYou realize that MSNBC is doing something brilliant....
.. they are making The Donald look like the inevitable GOP candidate. That the GOP establishment will never let have the nomination.That when they do, will piss off that part of the GOP that likes The Donald, which will split the GOP and hand the election to the Democrats. They make the rest of the GOP look like fools for not following his positions. OR if he DOES get the nomination, it splits the GOP the other way and .. same thing again.
People bitch about giving Trump too much attention, but I see the method in their madness.

(10,721 posts)I don't watch TV (except when I catch bits and pieces at other peoples' homes) and haven't for years, but aren't all of the infotainment networks giving Trump a lot of coverage? Smut sells.

(145,303 posts)Trump is tearing up and rebranding the GOP. The Kochs, the RNC and the GOP donor class will try to stop him and that fight will be fun to watch

Trump's rise could mean the fall of the GOP.

(6,496 posts)it gets their ratings up and dooms the GOP. And it's getting some Republicans to watch MSNBC.

(9,708 posts)getting rid of all the liberal hosts....no, they are not strategizing. I cannot wait for the Trump to fall. Joe will be humiliated and I will be thrilled.

(8,203 posts)MSNBC just isn't that smart - except for Rachel and Lawrence....
All the attention given to Trump is an attempt to let it play out IMHO, fizzle out, like new songs played over and over until you and I just turn the station...let's not forget sanctimonious or the pizza guy (I forget his name), - early polling is for the birds....IOWA and New Hampshire are no longer the demo for who will be President.....

(2,427 posts)Anyone under the illusion MSNBC is liberal leaning while they run ads for BP and other energy conglomerates either has a line on some serious dope or is ignorant. Cheers!

(1,555 posts)So disgusted that each and every network and channel is giving this gasbag all of the free air he can get. He doesn't need to spend a DIME of his own money because they're all lapping up after him like little baby sloths and too damned weak to do their own jobs. Pathetic, simply pathetic.
