Prediction: The MSM Is Working Up Their "Trump Turned It Around And Won" Meme

'tis a puzzlement: how does the RNC salvage their convention and their candidate after the most-disastrous opening night in convention history?

Simple - you play your ace in the hole: the media!

It's perfect for them, almost as if it was scripted: make the opening night so bad that you have nowhere to go but up. After the plagiarism, the Hillary hate, the whites-are-best rhetoric, the lies about Benghazi etc, walking and chewing gum at the same time will now be proof of being "presidential."

Maybe a few moderate voices will appear to make speeches. Hillary shouldn't be hung or thrown in prison - house arrest and an ankle bracelet will do. Obama wasn't that bad a president after all - for a Kenyan. Hey, a lot of really good politicians have plagiarized a few words here and there - it's as American as apple pie!

By week's end, the story will have moved to how brilliantly Trump took the disaster in hand and turned things around. Why, it's practically Rooseveltian what he did! How will the Ds ever match his awesome performance? Hillary should be worried, very worried - she needs to change 98% of her positions if she has any chance of beating the fabulous Trump, as the entire country is rallying around the Rs.

The media is interested in anything juicy that delivers an audience. They'll run with the scandal as long as it's kicking.
