角色——媒体出钱帮Trump竞选美国总统，而且相当成功
Trump在Iowa的第二名被媒体看成了失败。上一次一个非教徒，大嘴巴的纽约人，08年
的Rudy Giuliani在这个州只拿到了4%的选票。这个州大量的evangelical教徒远在投票
之前就已经决定投给谁，即使这样，Ted Cruz还要靠作弊才拿到第一。比Trump票还要
少的Rubio却被媒体当胜利者追捧。
Why does the mainstream media heap such scorn and disbelief on Donald Trump
over his promise to build a great wall along the border with Mexico — and
make Mexico pay for it? After all, Donald Trump has built a winning
presidential campaign — and made the media pay for it.
Mr. Trump’s second place finish in Iowa gave respite to the legions of
media pundits and establishment flunkies who suffer the worst forms of
Donald Trump Derangement Syndrome. They braced for a huge blow-out win in
the Corn State. When it didn’t happen, it was like an executioner’s gun
jamming. First they flinched, then they blinked a few times and then got up
and ran like their hair was on fire.
Ever since, of course, they have been gloating a crowing — from a safe
distance — that Donald Trump failed. King Midas had finally touched
something and turned it into silver, instead of gold.
This, to be sure, is every bit as delusional as the derangement syndrome
that has captivated their sanity for six months now. What Donald Trump
pulled off in Iowa was nothing short of miraculous.
The last time a secular, loud, brash New Yorker who was leading in all the
national polls faced Iowa Republican voters — former New York Mayor Rudy
Giuliani in 2008 — he got truly schlonged. Mr. Giuliani came in sixth place
with only four percent of the vote.
Donald Trump came in second place with an astonishing 24 percent of the vote
. He was just 3.3 percentage points behind Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who won
the race by shamelessly pandering to the state’s huge evangelical
population, which has determined the outcome of every Republican caucus
there since at least 2000.
If Rudy Giuliani had done as well in Iowa as Trump did, the media would have
declared him the winner and he very likely would rushed through New
Hampshire and South Carolina on waves of positive press and his ultimate
gambit of winning it all in Florida very likely could have worked. In other
words, if Mr. Giuliani had done as well as Mr. Trump did in Iowa, we quite
possibly would be referring to him now as former President Giuliani.
But the media hatred for Mr. Trump is so unrestrained that even a stellar
accomplishment like he had in Iowa was dismissed as a shattering loss. And
Sen. Marco Rubio’s third place loss behind Mr. Trump was spun endlessly as
some kind of huge victory. This propelled the Florida Republican, until his
poor performance in last weekend’s robotic performance in the New Hampshire
debate.
What is so amazing about Mr. Trump’s blowout in the nation’s first primary
in the Granite State is not just the 2-to-1 win over the next-nearest
competitor, but his performance among every demographic group on every
single issue.
Among women, middle aged voters, the elderly, the educated — all people the
experts warned would flee from Donald Trump — Mr. Trump managed to win.
And he won on every major issue, including the economy, foreign policy and
immigration.
Perhaps the sweetest thing out of New Hampshire is how the media will be
forced to spin the results. They will, of course, try to minimize Mr. Trump
’s thumping.
Then they will be forced to breathe wind into Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s
disappointing — but surprising — second place finish. The Kasich campaign
is hopeless going forward. And so the battle rages on for the so-called “
establishment lane” with Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and even Ted Cruz piled up
behind John Kasich’s hopeless campaign.
Live by the spin, die by the spin. |
