MSM shocked that Trump is such a good politician

The author, Matt Taibbi, sat down with CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday morning. Among other things, Taibbi said the enthusiasm at Trump's campaign events this year is even greater than it was in 2016, and reporters who cover Trump are not explaining that. "What is the magic that he doles out?" CNN's Alisyn Camerota, not a Trump fan, asked Taibbi: "Well, it's a lot of things," Taibbi replied. Trump is appealing on a lot of levels that we don't write about. I mean, race is obviously part of it, but class is another thing that's a huge thing. I mean, Trump doesn't get credit in a lot of ways for being a very canny politician. He runs against -- he runs against people very well. Last time he ran against the Republican establishment, first with Jeb Bush, and that was kind of an easy contest. Then he took on Hillary Clinton and Wall Street and the military ... but now the media is a big part of it. He appeals to a certain kind of people in middle America. And to them, he's their champion. And you know, the people on the coast, in New York and in Washington and L.A., they're the enemy, and they're cheering for him.

And so the first thing is recognizing the extent of his popularity in small-town rural America. You know, if you go outside cities in this country, you will not find Democratic signs during an election. It's wall-to-wall Trump in most places. You know, not paying attention to that I think is a big problem," Taibbi said.

They seemed to have learned nothIng from 2016. It's like they can't possibly admit that they were wrong or that somehow, the opinions shared by them and their friends aren't universal.

CNN's Alisyn Camerota
Remember when she was at Fox chastising Dems for their ways then boom, she gets hired at CNN and now chastises Reps? A morning host whore for money no doubt. Her and Nicolle Wallace can choke on a donkey dick for all I care.

The MSM is so clueless it's almost sad. The status quo is no longer valid and when we have someone that tells the truth and calls out everything that has been hidden for 30 years it really starts to make sense.
Hasn't happened since Reagan.

I did not see that coming, great journalism right there to uncover that information.

Huh? What has he said with respect to race that makes people rally behind him?

It’s more shocking anyone would claim he’s a good politician. I mean, this Denmark stuff isn’t doing him any favors.

He beat a huge Republican field, Hillary, the MSM and the Deep State to become president.
You can dislike him, but to say he doesn't know how to play politics is just wrong.

What's truly shocking is that libs don't give him is due...our side recognizes great politicians. Bill Clinton was probably the best in my lifetime. I guess if you think of him as a baby, you can't recognize him for his political genius. Go ahead, underestimate him and is millions of supporters again.

The original DNC/MSM Political Complex spouted the GOPers are “ignorant and stupid” line to convince their ignorant voters to stay on the reservation!
But, unintentionally they have convinced the current generation of the DNC/MSM Political Complex leadership that their opponents are stupid. Therefore they underestimate an opponent with the testicular fortitude to fight back. Trump will always emerge victorious over the “True Believer” Snowflakes of this generation!

Is there really that big of a difference between being a high-profile businessman and a politician? At the end of the day, the only thing both care about is money and what strings to pull to get it.
