Donald Trump on Media: “They’re Scum, They’re Horrible People”
Jim Hoft


Trump on the media:

Quote

    “The Des Moines Register is a terrible paper. No, it really is. A very liberal paper by the way. I believe I am winning in Iowa. By the way, there are other polls that say I am winning in Iowa by the way. This was two small polls. And all over the country I am winning by massive numbers. But, I will say I think I am winning in Iowa> I’m doing really well with Evangelicals, the Tea Party, everyone else… The media has a lower approval rating than Congress. And you’re right, they’re scum. They’re horrible people.”

He likes saying "by the way".  He is right about the media, by the way.

Even the TRUMP folks whom dislike him have to agree the media are "scumbags" right up there with politicians. :patriot:

If 'they' were to sand off his rough edges, we wouldn't recognize him.

He needs to be himself to maintain his draw to 'everyman'.

This will get him more air time and interviews as every media outlet in sight will be clamoring to challenge him on his scumbag comment. Matt Lauer is speed-dialing.

The longer this process plays out the more convinced I am that Trump's challenges to the RNC (and DNC) are important and necessary. Both parties are out of touch with the average citizen and Trump is a reminder that we, the voters, still have - no pun intended - a Trump card to play.

Also notice how people are starting to say no to media? Not very many, yet it is noticeable.

Opinions of the media aside, Trump is miffed that he's number two in several polls, so he lashes out at the DesMoines Register.

That's a Trump signature:  lash out at anyone who opposes him and call them names.

I called Trump a scumbag on this website the other night and got lashes for it.  But it's OK for Trump to use the term in public.

What a damned double standard the Trump****s on this forum seem to have.

Interesting polling numbers -- what I am most optimistic about is that in several polls Cruz is actually polling ahead of Jeb and in some polls, Cruz is actually polling at 10%.  The three that seem to be dominating the polls are Trump, Carson and Rubio and Fiorina has really taken a beating.

Absolutely they do and at this stage of the game they are MUCH more about trying to influence opinions than measuring them! 

I'm  just watching and waiting until some actual voting starts.

Trump certainly has a better chance against Hillary than Carson, Bush, Graham or Christie.
