      - it works. I know Trump some voters who are already over him. - Jovian May 25, 10:14 7
        
        Manipulating innocuous instances like these into media moments erodes confidence in the mainstream media in general and makes it easier to discount. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 25, 10:19 6

        I agree that some people are going to say "They're just trying to get him" or "It's all just white noise" but they were going to vote for him anyway. - volnelk May 25, 10:32
        
        Yes. Part of the power of those crying #FakeNews at every bad (true) headline is that they can point to manipulations like this as evidence. - Name Withheld by Request May 25, 10:31 1

Ugh. -- (link) - Spawn May 25, 09:33 31
- Are you surprised? - ty97 May 25, 09:34 11
  - [deleted]
  - I mean, the base GOP default view is that the media can't be trusted and is the enemy. It shouldn't be surprising that base GOP will vote for him - pmb May 25, 09:37 7
    - But the witnesses who released a written statement which said it was all Gianforter's fault are Fox news reporters. They normally - jnine May 25, 09:40 6
      - Fox News is fading. Internet sites with streams feed the right wing masses now. -- nm* - David May 25, 10:47
      - Yes, I would have thought that would have weight. And if there was a primary where he was facing another Republican challenger I think he would lose. - pmb May 25, 09:44
      - I get the sense that the base is partly moving away from Fox News for being too mainstream. -- nm - ty97 May 25, 09:42 3

    - This is a slower death than Kill Bill Volume 2. -- nm - ty97 May 25, 09:35
- I think this happened too late to change things. Maybe three or four days earlier..... -- nm - crash davis May 25, 09:33 18
  - I don't think it changes the outcome, but for the voters individually choosing to still vote for him, lead time had nothing to do with it. -- nm - ty97 May 25, 09:34 1
    - some people would change, given time to marinate -- nm - crash davis May 25, 09:37

      - I don't think this is fair, to be honest. There are things you have to consider - ty97 May 25, 09:41
      - There is a significant core part of the GOP for which their political affiliation has become their religion. It's a matter of faith, not logic. -- nm - pmb May 25, 09:39 6
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        My guess would be that the core GOP is 70% made up of a combination of those whose views are best described as faith and those who are driven solely - pmb May 25, 09:47 2
        
        If they're really driven by economic self interest, the majority are voting the wrong way. -- nm* - jnine May 25, 09:55 1
        
        It's taxes. And it's usually the upper tax bracket people that are motivated in that way. -- nm - pmb May 25, 09:59
