Trump/Fox Thoughts

Another day of all-Trump news.  Only because some new polls showed him way ahead, but only one day of that poll was taken after Trump’s McCain comments.

I guess the latest is that Trump gave out Lindsay Graham’s phone number in a speech.  Intentionally.  Serious douche.

But the only thing I wanted to add was how Fox is handling the Trump story.  And the answer is….. delicately.  They don’t want to call him a jackass too much and alienate their viewers in the base.  So they just end up asking questions, i.e.,

Fox News Person:  Is Trump going to hurt the Republican party?  If only by sucking air from the other candidates?

Fox News Expert Guest:  Well, only time will tell.  He certainly has a strong following.

Fox News Person:  The polls don’t seem to have much to say about the backlash after insulting McCain.

Fox News Expert Guest:  They don’t, although whether something will happen in the future is the $64,000 question.

…. and so on.  Aaaaaaaalllll day.

It’s pretty funny.
