Daily Kos: If you're a Republican, when you’ve lost the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, you’ve lost a pillar of support. The rabidly conservative, over-the-top reactionary and reflexively pro-Trump WSJ Editorial page has had enough of Trump’s campaign rallies masquerading as “daily press briefings,” and the sycophantic swill that comes with them.
Titled “Trump’s Wasted Briefings,” the lead editorial states what Americans have already known: Trump’s captive clown show does nothing in terms of informing Americans, because the buffoon who leads them can’t stop trying to make himself the story, with no regard for the actual concerns of the American people.
There are the no doubt mandatory allusions to the conspiracy-addled fever dreams that perpetuate the right, but there is also disgust reflecting the fact that Trump’s tactics seem to be falling flat from a polling standpoint.
