RUSH: Salena Zito, one of the first in the media to correctly identify the strengths of Donald Trump via his voters and why they think and support Trump the way they do. She\u2019s on CNN. She\u2019s got a contract there. She\u2019s an analyst, a commentator, shows up now and then.<\/p>\n

She was on This Morning with Poppy Harlow. They\u2019re talking about Trump\u2019s rhetoric and how much damage, Bob Corker and the IQ test with Tillerson and all that<\/a>. And Poppy Harlow said this to Salena: “Salena, we\u2019ve seen friends of Trump try to communicate to him through the media. You know about the president\u2019s base. You spent a lot of time reporting on \u2019em. Do you think Barrack is right when he says that Trump does not have a base? And if he\u2019s not, does the base support Trump in spite of or because of his language and his tweets?”<\/p>\n

\"\"ZITO: I think they support him in spite and because of the comments. As far as his base going anywhere, he does have an unnatural base in that it\u2019s in a really interesting alignment of different kinds of people, a lot of people, as you know, we missed during the election. But I haven\u2019t seen any evidence of them going anywhere yet, but that doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t. I think if he becomes part of the swamp, that\u2019s gonna become his biggest problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Bingo. It\u2019s only Trump that can drive his audience away, and the fastest way he could would be to become part of the swamp. But note the question here. The Barrack she\u2019s talking about is Tom Barrack, presidential inaugural committee chairman, not Barack Obama. “Do you think that Barrack is right when he says that Trump doesn\u2019t have a base, and if he\u2019s not right, do they support him in spite of or because of his language –” these people at CNN haven\u2019t the slightest.<\/p>\n

It still doesn\u2019t make sense to them that Trump has any supporters. Trump is so embarrassing to them, Trump is so pathetic to them, they can\u2019t understand anybody liking Trump. And they are journalists. They\u2019re supposed to be curious and all-knowing, and they\u2019ve got closed minds. And rather than find out what they don\u2019t know, they ridicule what people think that doesn\u2019t make sense to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
