Post SC Subdued Media Has Reached "Peak Trump" Can They Recover Relevance?

The tenor of the media's post South Carolina GOP primary analysis has been relatively subdued. "Relatively" is of course the operative word when canvassing the MSM's Trump reporting but long term media followers will have noted a less frenzied coverage post South Carolina.

There are still the "It's not over till it's over" and "Our fight continues" John Fund  and the NRO board's articles as they battle on their lonely dogmatic battle. Fund takes his solace in his observation that "Trump is out of luck because many primary states coming up are southern." 

Bad luck for Fund that substantial numbers of observers advise that is exactly the best luck for Trump (he leads in early all upcoming states.

The fact is most of the, surprisingly small number of analytical articles are subdued, positive for Trump in a way not seen before i.e. accepting that he is absolutely the front runner with the best path to the nomination e.g

ABC NEWS
ANALYSIS: Donald Trump Takes Ownership of Republican Party

NEW YORK TIMES
The Party of Bush Yields, Warily, to a New Face: Donald Trump


It is noticeable that this small and representative selection I believe, comes from the center and left and is devoid for the most part of the previous hate frenzy "Trump is a showman, has no chance, will fade" and etc.

What has happened is the media has shot their bolt and realize that all their hyperbole in the face of what anyone with any degree of independent thinking could see as obvious has damaged them severely. 

Further there is, they understand surely, no calumny no satire no sarcasm no pounced upon supposed "Trump gaffe" that they can present that will do him any harm whatsoever (in fact the more they do that the stronger he grows).

The polling companies in the service of this willfully blind endeavor e.g. WSJ/NBC/Marist  are beyond salvation, and the quicker they are dropped by the media the better for everyone.

 If, as this new round of analysis appears to show, the media returns to the traditional role of factual analysis instead of being outright propaganda they will begin to pick themselves of the floor.

The media started their own descent into irrelevance by their immediate outlandish, snobbish hateful attacks on Trump (and of course Palin from 2008 and without let-up to today) it will be up to them, the incorrigible elitists like David Brooks, Bill Kristol, Dana Milbank to name a few excepted, to move on from gross partisanship and to recover a degree of dignity and trust.

Making Sense Of The 10 Last Days South Carolina Polls; All In One Place


UPDATE ASTOUNDING NEW 7NEWS POLL TRUMP 43.58% UP BY 22 POINTS

MASSIVE POLL OF OVER 1300 SC VOTERS PICKED UP THE DEMOCRAT'S AND INDEPENDENTS CROSSING OVER TO VOTE FOR TRUMP IN OPEN PRIMARY WHICH EXPLAINS TRUMP'S 43.58% VOTE

90% SAID GOVERNOR HALEY'S ENDORSEMENT OF RUBIO WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON THEIR VOTING

The three top issues that they consider most important in the election of our next President: The Economy (26%), Immigration Control (22%) and fighting Terrorism (21%).

The above poll is not clear as to whether it is regional or state wide. However the crossover indications, issues declared and endorsement support are important factors
********************************************************************
Huffington Post updated polls including the clearly ridiculous NBC/WSJ poll and the "Opinion Savvy" poll.

Those two polls are way out of line with the rest of the nine recent polls.Explanation of polling bias is detailed below. 

The bottom line is the average from the aggregate of all 9 polls is a Trump lead of about 14 points



Real Clear Politics includes the SC House Poll

**************************************************************



Opinion Savvy poll Augusta Chronicle note
"For all intents & purposes, results indicate very likely Trump win" Always check the qualification e.g.
"97% of Trump supporters indicated that they do not foresee changing their vote."

Rubio's Strange History Of Cut And Run Under Pressure-Commander In Chief?

Update; Cutting and running from CPAC now? 
Via Daily Caller

CPAC Organizers Shame Marco Rubio, Accuse Him Of ‘Rookie Mistake’

he organizers of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, are attempting to shame Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio 
79%
, accusing him of “a rookie mistake” and suggesting the Florida senator won’t make this year’s event.
But a Rubio campaign aide, responding to the organizers statement, suggested to The Daily Caller that it’s still possible the senator will attend the gathering, saying: “Our March schedule is still TBD.”
The American Conservative Union, which hosts CPAC, released a statement saying “the Rubio campaign informed ACU’s chairman that their candidate is unwilling to make time to meet with activists and answer their questions at CPAC 2016.” ACU’s response was firstreported by Breitbart News.
“Sen. Rubio cannot have it both ways: he cannot hope to be the inspirational leader of conservatives and at the same time hide at the very moments when activists who compose the heart and soul of the movement assemble and organize,” the organization said in its statement. “For 43 years CPAC has been that critical moment, and in this year’s conference will be the biggest yet.”

***************************************************
PREVIOUS UPDATE;
It gets stranger















A pattern seems to be is emerging with Senator Rubio where he wilts under pressure and cuts and runs for expediency under pressure. If pressure via the inability to face up to either a demanding or packed against him audience is a basic part of his temperament, then that fact would seem to preclude his ability to be president.

 Nobody should be in the position of being Commander in Chief of the armed services, asking for men to go into battle and to face much sterner situations than a hostile political audience, if they themselves are subject to wilting under much less trying circumstances.

 It is unimaginable that John F.Kennedy, George G.W.Bush and even Richard Nixon, men tested in battle, would have wilted under pressure like Senator Rubio did when Governor Christie ran him into the ground (as he basically admitted) on the debate stage.

 



Again, Rubio's apparent wilting, almost literally, under pressure surfaced in the now notorious "water bottle" incident during his State of The Union reply where he was thrust in to the national spotlight for the first time.



Donald Trump has commented on Rubio under pressure from up close first hand experience

"Donald Trump focused his trademark social media fury on Marco Rubio on Monday night, launching a volley of critical tweets at the Florida senator on his immigration record as well as a few insults, saying he "chokes" under pressure.
"Marco Rubio is a total lightweight who I wouldn't hire to run one of my smaller companies -- a highly overrated politician!" Trump tweeted.Trump followed that tweet with criticism of how Rubio delivered the Republican response to Obama's State of the Union address in 2013.
"Marco Rubio couldn't even respond properly to President Obama's State of the Union Speech without pouring sweat & chugging water. He choked!""Marco Rubio is totally weak on illegal immigration & in favor of easy amnesty. A lightweight choker -- bad for USA!"
"Trump say Rubio sweats to much to negotiate with Putin;He looked like he just came out of a swimming pool"



And now we have the truly bizarre circumstance where Rubio cancelled a major meeting with a few minutes notice From Breitbart;


"Marco Rubio Cancels Conservative Review Event Appearance Five Minutes Before His Speech"

COLUMBIA, S.C. – 
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
79%
 canceled his scheduled appearance at the Conservative Review Conference in South Carolina five minutes before he was slated to go on stage.

Conservative Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

COLUMBIA, S.C. – 
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
79%
 canceled his scheduled appearance at the Conservative Review Conference in South Carolina five minutes before he was slated to go on stage.

Conservative Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
96%
 harshly criticized Rubio on his amnesty positions right before the Florida senator was supposed to go on stage.
“Marco Rubio will you raise your hand?” conference moderator Mark Levin said on stage at the conference after it became apparent that Rubio was not going to appear on stage. “Where is he?”
The "explanation" from Rubio's team was that he was "running late. Even if that were the case, which seems suspect, it is not a good look for a prospective president if he can't organize his schedule to make such a major event on time. Of course the Cruz (and Bush) people went to town and who is to say they are not right as regards Rubio under pressure?
Rubio likely would not have been well-received at the convention, according to Breitbart reporter Jordan Schactel, who is on the ground at the conference. Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump supporters were there in droves, but there was little discernible enthusiasm for Rubio.
Rubio, Tim Scott, and pro-Rubio South Carolina governor Nikki Haley did have time for a photo-friendly trip to the Beacon Drive-In in Spartanburg, S.C. Thursday afternoon before the conference. 
The campaign manager of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is piling on, saying that Rubio’s decision to cut and run is proof he’s incapable of serving as a commander in chief"

Read the full article at this link

Clearly there is a major pattern developing of wilting under pressure and cutting and running which exposes Rubio's youth and inexperience and what appears to be a major personality flaw.

Research has turned up this earlier example of cutting and running for expediency which taken with the subsequent chain of events seems to make a clear case for Trump's observations to be correct. On the positive side the exposure of Rubio's failing should ensure he is not in a position of power and responsibility which of course the senate is not) for at least the coming presidential election.

January 11th Time Magazine

"Marco Rubio Cancels Fundraiser to Blunt No-Show Attacks"


"Amid growing criticism of his poor attendance record, Sen. Marco Rubio on Monday scrapped an evening fundraiser in the Florida Keys so he could attend a closed-door Capitol Hill briefing on North Korea’s latest belligerence.
Monday’s about-face comes just a month before Iowa and New Hampshire kick-off the GOP’s nominating calendar. Although it is not that important on its own, the change will be another reminder of critics’ argument that he’s skipping out on his taxpayer-funded day job for his own ambition.
For Rubio’s rivals, it’s not just that he has the worst attendance record in the Senate, which he did in 2015. Instead, it’s part of a broader argument that Rubio is a lightweight who cares more about his personal ambition than taking care of his constituents. "

Memo To Pope Francis; Cruz/Rubio/Carson/Kasich/Walker/Hillary Want To Build Wall

Pope Francis singled out Donald Trump as "unchristian" for wanting to build a wall with Mexico two day before the South Carolina election.

He could have also mentioned the following for during his gross interference in American domestic policies and mentioned the Israeli wall and the strongly Christian Hungarian  counry's wall against Muslim refugees;

and The Lord himself apparently
JEFF SESSIONS: Lord Commanded Nehemiah to build wall... 
http://ln.is/blogs.rollcall.co... …


On the other hand the Pope's words are an assist for Jeb Bush's "no wall it isn't conservative, open access communities" position.

Republican Presidential Candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush told a group at a Florida rally about his Texas border trip and explained why a border wall wouldn’t be practical or conservative.  Bush returned to the friendly turf of the Sunshine State on Wednesday, with a town hall style meeting in Pensacola.


In their own words;

"Cruz aides counter that their candidate broached idea of a border fence long before Trump "

"Rubio: We Must Secure Our Border With a Wall"

"John Kasich;In a nutshell I would build a wall"

Hillary Clinton voted to build the wall

"Dr.Ben Carson wants to build a wall and have border drone strikes"

Gov. Scott Walker Building a wall with Canada is a legitimate issue."

And further afield (plus the Vatican wall of course)


Strongly Catholic Hungary builds massive wall against Muslim migrants--Pope silent


Good thing for Netanyahu and the Israeli's they're not Catholic & don't 'have to worry about the Pope's wall demand
