You obviously haven't learned anything. Government and media work together to manipulate opinion. The media's job is to make you think Trump is the enemy of the establishment. He IS the establishment. Every bit as much as Sanders or Hillary. When the media completely ignores someone, THAT is the candidate you should probably be supporting. Eg. Ron Paul

Yeah I agree. Too many comments thrown at him that you have to say "wait a second, this is beginning to feel fabricated". Not that he was the GOPs chosen one, because he wasn't. It just seems if they are resigned to accepting him then this is a good strategy to keep the Trump train going.
And if this pressure is fabricated. I'm still reminded of that saying

Here's a challenge.
Name someone who could get to this point that wouldn't also be subject to this criticism.
You may have a point, but let's admit to ourselves that Trump is far from trustworthy despite the excitement his promises and platform generate.
Also, it's not clear what propels presidential candidates (from the establishment or elsewhere) into the forefront. If you look at comparative advantages over someone like Rand or Ron Paul, it would look like this:
Trump: Media Coverage plus his own brand / cult of personality
Rubio, Cruz, etc: Media Coverage
Jeb Bush seems to have shown that you can't make someone unelectable, electable. However, it seems easy to make someone electable, unelectable.

He doesn't support his accusation with anything in the comment, but I happen to agree with it. The right sent him feminist shills to eviscerate on stage, ie Jeb's intern and Fox's Megyn Kelly.
Isn't it kind of strange that a party who gets their votes from challenging progressive ideals, and a network who gets ratings from dumping on liberals, feminists included, would send one after a guy like Trump, with the intent of him being seen in a bad light?
In my mind I just ask, what is more likely, an underdog, or an "underdog"?
