Donald Trump has so far not surrendered to the demands of self-appointed ruling class Washington Establishment and media. Americans rarely see this happen:
7/21/15, "The Drive-Bys Missed My Point on Trump," Rush Limbaugh transcript
"My point yesterday was not to come to Trump's defense. My point yesterday was to illustrate a teachable moment
for the American people with a chance to see something they don't often
see,
haven't seen in a long time....I want to
set the record straight on what happened on the program yesterday.
The conventional
wisdom in circumstances like this goes this way: You have a Republican
public figure who says something that constitutes stepping in it. In
this case, it's Trump's supposed comments about McCain, but even those
were distorted. And whatever the perp (always a Republican, never a
Democrat) says is something so bad, so beyond the pale that the entire
media establishment and the Washington establishment immediately demand
that the perp apologize.
And usually the perp does.
The conventional wisdom is, "The perp apologizes, begs forgiveness,
says (sobbing), 'That wasn't me! I don't know who that was, but that's
not what I really think. I really didn't mean it,' and
they apologize,
and they slink away,
never to be heard from again."
And the key
point... This was not talked about all night and even today on CNN. The
key point that was not mentioned that makes all of this come together,
as far as I'm concerned, is the element of all of this conventional
wisdom is an assumption that the outrage expressed by the media and the
Washington establishment echoes national outrage."...
