Trump doesn't really want to run or win, Russia..

Looks like the repeats are on.

I don't think he'll drop out, he'd be a quitter that way. Plus he's not a big fan of the Republican Party to begin with, why drop out and give them a chance at picking a good candidate? He can stick it to everyone by staying in and just making things miserable for all politicians.

We got approx. 100 days of more entertainment plus the debates. Going to be fun to watch these two.

Good points. On the other hand he does not seem to lose well. If he drops out he can claim he never lost and he was just tired of the media and establishment.

I think that is a long shot. He more than likely stays in this thing and goes down in a blaze of glory or pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

It's amazing. Every second of every day watching as people call you a racist, watching as people say everything you do is because Russia tells you to.

Being blamed for every single thing that happens even when you're policy or response is fantastic (The worst was when he was blamed for Iran shooting down the passenger jet). I give the man a tremendous amount of credit for continuing to stand in the face of it all.

VPs are generally chosen/announced in July.

In my sh!tty opinion, Trump will never drop out.

It's true that the assault has been unrelenting. He could have found some self-restraint on a few occasions that might have helped a bit, but what we're seeing is the beginning of the end of the constitutional Republic courtesy the Democrats and their media acolytes. And once it's gone, it's not coming back.

He deserves all the flack he has earned with his mouth and actions.

If you go back to pre-Presidential win, what came first.. the attack on Trump from the media, or the attack on the media from Trump? I seem to remember it being the first one.

C'mon man. You are friends with me on facebook.

How many times have I posted pictures of me at 5 or 6 and said I look like I'm a member of the Hitler Youth?

It's 100% sarcasm with me and it can't be with others?

Mitt Romney was likely the most decent, nicest, reasonable guy ever to run for president of the United States. He never stood a chance against the media; and the things said about him we're incredibly foul. He could do no right, because he has the R next to his name.

Kill 30,000 in NY, and you're a hero. 3,500 in Florida and you're the worst governor ever to walk the face of the earth.

His actions are great. Don't conflate one w/ the other.

So no other candidate has ever caught flack from the media? Bill Clinton got his. Bush took his beatings. I do not recall them ever being wussies and crying about it like Donnie Dementia has.

What did he do to squelch that? He went full blast.

Fake News, Fake Media, fake this, fake that, alternative facts, lies, deceit, cheating, etc. If he didn't want this, he would have acted like a leader.

That wasn't the question.

And 'catching flack' from the media is certainly one way of putting it. Gently.

The bounty story was not deemed credible so it was not included in the Daily Presidential Briefing. This is why you have to wait on the details when the MSM reports on Trump, especially when they use an anonymous source.

I am having a hard time understanding how in the hell - anyone can say Trump has been treated unfairly by the media when he has Fox News (AON, Rush) all absolutely gushing over everything he says and does..........

Stop crying and defending this guy when he has his attack (opinion hosts) spinning everything he does as gold and attacking anyone who oppose him.

Did you just wake up from a 2015-induced coma?

You only mentioning Fox also speaks towards the massive media tilt already in place. You mention one network that leans one way, while the others (NBC, CBS, ABC, etc..) lean the other way.

Generally speaking, with most politicians, the media beats down first. The real question is who can ignore it and who cannot handle criticism that comes with the territory?

Trump is different. Trump and the media have a very long history together. He plays them and they play him.

So...was it the chicken? Or the egg?

Fox gets to pick their poison so why don't the others? How about Conservatives stop complaining about this and create more competitive networks like Foxnews to represent their perspective on issues?

Let an investigation happen.

If he truly didn't know, he would fully cooperate, right?

Oh...wait...

The media assault (it was not simply 'catching flack') from Day 1 was a completely different animal unlike other candidate treatment that I've ever seen.

They can do whatever they want. My point there was that there is a massive media bias in this country. To deny that would be laughable.
