The constituency donnie's video really cost him: the media

A real turning point was the birther infomercial, which really pissed off a lot of the media. Not wise to dupe the people you rely on to project your image.

This video completed a 1-2 punch. No one in the public should find this video a surprise, Donnie has made it abundantly clear this is well within his character.

But this is something the media can't get away with being quiet or neutral about. They can't just say this is something one side is outraged about and the other side is defending or dismissing or counterattacking or whatever.

No, this is something the media has to condemn in no uncertain terms. And it then casts a pall on any coverage he gets in the next 4 weeks.

Donnie needed very favorable treatment from the media to have any chance at all in November.

he really has no chance now.

Yes, gotv, of course. But really, trump is toast.
