Trump winning in public opinion.

MEDIA HYSTERIA HAS WORN OUT VOTERS

COORDINATED EFFORTS TO FORCE TRUMP OUT ARE LOSING EFFECTIVENESS



It has now been 3 years since Donald Trump came down the elevator and announced he was running for president. No one thought this was a serious effort including this writer. I felt I could support any candidate except another Bush. I leaned toward Scott Walker or maybe Ted Cruz. It soon became clear that there definitely was a different candidate in Trump. Out of 17 candidates he overwhelmed the field with his uninhibited approach to campaigning. He seemed to say whatever he was thinking, this certainly would cost him in his quest to be president. It was agreed by the media that he was a political freak and that they would allow him to dominate the news in an effort to allow him to blow up the Republican party.

The media pushed him to the front by their continuous coverage, proclaiming his self  destruction on a weekly basis. Trump continued to climb in the polls. There is no doubt that Trump is an adherent to the old axiom that all news is good news. That when no one is talking about you that you are in trouble. The media is obsessed with talking about Trump, they are very much like rejected spouses who cannot get their ex-spouses out of their consciousness, no matter how hard they try. It is a phenomenon not like any other in our political history.

After Trump shocked everyone who thought he could not win, by winning, I expected that they would change their strategy. Can they not think of another strategy? Are they so without imagination that they have just doubled down on the same approach? Or have they lost total control of themselves with their hate for Trump. There is classic definition of insanity, "continually doing the same thing and expecting different results"

There can be little doubt that after Trump won, there became an organized, coordinated effort to force Trump from office. This was proclaimed before the inauguration by the likes of Maxine Waters, who couldn't contain herself, and others who predicted Trump would be forced out in 6 months. They then embarked on their present strategy, attack Trump in every possible way to run his poll numbers down, hopefully into the 20's. At the same time embark on an investigation of every aspect of Trump life to find and impeachable offense. This was not an investigation of a crime, but an investigation in search of a crime.

It has now been 14 months into the Trump presidency. Everyone who is at all objective must admit, he has attempted to address every problem head on, no can kicking allowed. Many can oppose his policies, but his enthusiasm has not been diminished. He is still dominating the news every hour of the day. 

The plan to force Trump out or impeach him is really a matter of political opinion. It is unlikely either approach will work with Trump poll numbers near 50%. The opposition in the deep state cannot give up on their fight, there survival is at stake. There can only be one winner in this battle. The secret service better double down on Presidential security.
