Why Trump's Refusal to Play Along was Media Genius

     Our country is over. Our democracy is in trouble. It's horrifying that a major candidate would answer like that! Turn to any news outlet right after the third presidential debate of the 2016 election cycle ended and these are the things you would have heard. Even Fox couldn't resist the temptation to fall into his trap. And it hasn't shown any signs of letting up 17 hours later. The story is so big, a well timed press conference by Gloria Allred parading out yet another Trump accuser wasn't enough to knock it out of its rightful place at the top of every hour.Trump even took part as he appeared to double down at his rally in Ohio this afternoon. He emphatically insisted he will accept the election results, as long as he wins. I could hear the collective gasp of the leftist media and rino Republicans as they feinted horror and disdain against this man who would dare spit in their face and not be shamed in any way. It looked to me like Trump was thoroughly enjoying himself as were the thousands and thousands of rally attendees. And why not? For the next 24 to 72 hours, it is the only thing we will hear about concerning the Trump side of this contest. It won't stop the steady stories of corruption, graft and criminality surrounding Hillary Clinton from being covered. But as for Trump, the electorate will no longer listen to accusations about him and the media has a new bone to chew on. It's a bone most of the electorate doesn't really care about but that won't stop the media from trying to push it on us; That is the magic of it. The more the Democrats and their media puppets scream about it, the less impact it will have on the vote, if it had any in the first place. Trump has proven once again he is a master at using the media by relying on their extreme bias to help him form the real message he wants the voters to hear. In this case, the over the top coverage of one answer out of a 90 minute, mostly substantial debate, helps to prove his contention the election is being rigged. I cannot help but laugh at the simplicity of it or how well it worked for him.
