CNN was the cable news network that gave Trump all that fukking free coverage. FOH!
I wish I could give you a rep breh, that's a point NOBODY ever talks about.
People forgot how low trump started out with support. How did his base rise? How did his message resonate? THE MEDIA, as it pertains to TV, they control the optics. From the very start of the republican primaries EVERY CNN nightly show would broadcast EVERY trump stump speech in primetime TV. Anderson, lemmon, all of them. Same for MSNBC and FOX. Joe scarbarough was in love with trump and still is.
Rightly or wrongly the other republican candidates weren't polarizing, boring, and bland. Trump was and still is a ratings bonanza. They(the media) created this monster. They grew the base, when you watch TV and you have one person of 17 people being talked about non stop, getting HIS message out there, people pay attention. So all of these media people on every network are so full of shyt... Those other republican candidates didn't have a chance against trump because he blitz them with his style and media got HIS message out and drowned theirs.
I think
@Mephistopheles was spot with his assessment that you have a lot of trolling, ignorant dudes on this site who look at this shyt as some type of smack rap battle. Corny nikkas talking "trump was dropping bars", and what the hell does that do to woo the people he needs to win.
Trump should be kissing the feet of everything newspaper, and television broadcasting company for the amount of FREE coverage he constantly gives them to boost their ratings. You live by it, you die by it.
