GOP Pundit Blames President Obama For Creating Trump
Michael Smeronish is one of those TV personalities who makes a good point every once in a while, but usually clings to the center of the road opinion that is more on the right side of the spectrum than the liberal side. Smerconish is most assuredly a both-siderist, but Donald Trump seems to evoke a visceral loathing, as he does in most sentient beings. For a change, Smerconish takes a strong stance against the dark forces that helped create the Drumpf-monster: the GOP-owned-run media.
I told you so, six months ago I told you, here, that if you want to understand the rise of Donald Trump, you should look to the people with microphones. In an essay that I co-authored with Brian Rosenwald, that got a million views on CNN.com, we wrote this. 'Over the course of the last three decades, these media personalities have surpassed party officials and even elected officials, ascending to the exalted status atop Republican leadership.' Well, Donald Trump has just hired such a provocateur.
He elaborated about the disgraceful choice by the Trump campaign to hire a Breitbart guy who has shown extremely poor taste, judgement and decorum, and has been very blatant about his views. If he's trying to add to his voting base, this is easily the worst way to attract those coveted female and minority voters he's alienated.
