Trump will soon be done.....his speech in Alabama, universally panned as boring, repetitive and rambling, not to mention utterly devoid of any meaning, barely got the networks a ratings bump and if that ends so will the media's slow summer reality show fill in.
America may be full of stupid, racist voters, but not near enough to hand the keys to the WH to a reality show candidate.

Pump and dump, because there is no primary campaign underway, this is purely a media generated campaign season, just like the last time.
Rose on the crest of hysterical mass media coverage and died as soon as folks realized how crazy they all were and completely without substance and got bored of it all.
Same thing. After Trump dives the mass media will pick their next favorite GOP reality show host for another round of political pump and dump.

(23,946 posts)Trump can sense the general media dump coming I think, as Fox basically has ignored Trump since the debate....hence this second kick at the cat by Trump.
TV Newser ratings for Friday show little difference from a normal weekday audience across the board for CNN and Comcast (MSNBC).....must have startled a lot of media ad execs to see that!
And the Alabama debacle marked the beginning of the end, in my humble opinion.

NYC is media HQ and they have been dealing with Trump's speed dialing for 40 years. They know Trump all too well to be fooled by this bullshit, but they also know ratings are ratings.
Ya know, NYC is stuck with him and he bulldozed his way into AC, but he tried his bullshit in LA and the laughed, then they yawned, then they told him to get the fuck out and back to New York. It worked.
It will work again.

(23,946 posts)next to nothing. Not to mention how the crowd seemed to get bored less than half way through...it was truly a disaster....but the media will wring a few more weeks out their self-serving pumping...if that.
Pump the Trump and Dump.

(10,175 posts)Fox News hosts Bill OReilly and Megyn Kelly took place during a November 2011 discussion in which they tried to downplay the impact of pepper spray on student Occupy protesters at UC Davis:
OReilly: "First of all, pepper spraythat just burns your eyes, right?"
Kelly: "Its like a derivative of actual pepper. Its a food product, essentially."
