Why Trump Is Winning
- Thread starter dandh
- Start date
11 days leading up to Labor Day on one network (CNN). Yeah, that's an adequate sample size. Not.One little chart says it all:
A big part of the reason he gets so much airtime is because he does so many interviews. It's a brilliant strategy.
I agree, but how far off do you think it is from what we are getting now?
Just my impression, but I'd say Trump is still getting the lion's share of the coverage. Hillary and Rubio probably next.
Trump leads because the MSM can't help itself. The other 2 because the MSM has picked them to support.
Cruz and Bernie are getting the crumbs. The rest don't even exist.
I feel sorry for Bernie and Kasich. Not so much for Cruz.
I do because, unfortunately, it's still the best of the bunch. That being said, you can already see it starting to change, now that it looks like it's going to be Clinton and Trump. They gave all that money to Hillary for a reason.
NoleSoup4U does. Only because he's "edgy" though. You wouldn't understand.
Oh I watch once in a while just for laughs always funny to see Wolf Blitzed,Jake Tapped Out and Anderson(tailgater)Cooper with drool running down their face when talking about their beloved Hillary.
you mean people that were taught by democrats?
Exactly. And certainly most of the Republicans going to the caucuses do NOT watch it....
If FOX was leaning coverage that far to Trump, then this might make sense; CNN, hardly.
I think he's talking about you.
Yea, I've noticed the same thing. They've gone all out on negative trump headlines online today. Take a look: www.cnn.com.
I do. Of the 3 major news networks, it's the most objective. I'm not saying it's objective, but it's the MOST objective of Cnn, foxnews, and msnbc.
That's like saying it's the tallest midget. I tend to agree with you, but I'd also say CNN is the least "newsie" of the 24-hour news channels. It's basically become an entertainment channel.
If you get it, BBC World News is a newsie channel worth a watch. Anymore, "news" in America is entertainment, unfortunately.
I remember a few years back when I landed in the US after living in Europe for 15 months, I was sitting in the airport in DC, and the news was all about people being upset about some women who showed up in a magazine in body paint, and some kind of political scandal. It was so different than what news was in the UK/Germany. Purely entertainment and trying to pit people against each other really.

GOOD WORK!
I don't expect you to do this, but it would be interesting to see a breakdown of Positive/Negative headlines for each. I would guess the majority of Trump headlines are slanted to the negative.
I think that would be a good assumption. Just on a skimming scroll it looks like it is easily mostly negative.
Wrong. Trump is winning because the rest of the field is full of pussies. They could have taken this guy out a long time ago. But they vastly underestimated him and tried destroying each other instead. Republicans deserve what they got here.One little chart says it all:
Makes sense. I actually just made my first trip ever to the Huffington Post page, and holy smokes... I'd never gone there because I knew it was a one-sided propaganda site, but I had no idea just how ridiculous it is. Actually, it read like some threads on here. At the top, it attacked Trump, a lot, like didn't even try to be newsie, then a condescending article about Trump supporters, then, just below the fold, a small headling about Hillary fighting for K-12 Education...
I no longer need to go back to huffpost to know I'll not find any real news there.
It is really bad. Some years back they sold to AOL and it has gotten worse by the year.
I had this discussion about 2 weeks ago with some friends one night. My one friend just hates Trump and can't understand why anyone would vote for him......we had actually switched the tv to one of the debates that night, and she just went off every time he said something. He was talking about how he will make "America great again"....went through his laundry list of things he was going to do. When he finished, she just started yelling "How, Donald....just how are you going to do that" Which is a legit question. I let her and a couple others go on for a few minutes and gave this opinion. Trump isn't really that different than anyone else running for president this year or any other year. He has a message......it gets repeated many times, without much detail behind it, but full of platitudes and big promises. Where he pisses some people off is just how he delivers that message. Look, Sanders and Clinton do the same exact thing as Trump is doing....it's just really tone that's different.....listen to any debate or stump speech. Trump has just tapped into the anger that many have out there, and he talks like no other politician before him, and some people like it....they're tired of the same old bullshit from these people. Now what we usually end up with (no matter who wins) is the same old bullshit from both parties. Maybe he'll be different.....who knows for sure. I'm a pretty staunch conservative.....and I'm still not sure I like any of the Republican candidates.....I was hoping Kasich would be doing better, but it's just not happening....would be a good VP choice for Trump if he wins. Trump's people had to be doing some pretty good polling out there....getting the temperature of the electorate and running with that anger that's apparently out there, it's the only reason for this, at least that I can see. And I think it would be lazy to call it tapping into the uneducated population....I know many people that are rooting hard for Trump to win the nomination.....and they aren't "uneducated" by any means.
Yep.
Trump says some stuff that is absolutely ridiculous and deplorable, that he deserves to be chastised and questioned about, but Americans have become so used to it from politicians that it isn't a huge deal anymore. Don't get me wrong, the scope and stupidity of what Trump says and does indeed surpasses what has been said and done before. But not enough to sink him. And the more negative press he gets, the more people rally behind him.
Well, then they certainly have terrible judgement, and care nothing about the future of our country.
"Look, Sanders and Clinton do the same exact thing as Trump is doing"
I don't like those democrats either.
