I think it's been obvious since that first debate moderated by Fox that 
there is a concerted effort to take Trump down.

23 things Donald Trump has said that would have doomed another candidate
1. Calls Mexican immigrants rapists 

June 16: Launch, New York 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/06/16/donald-trumps-spectacular-unending-utterly-baffling-often-wrong-campaign-announcement/>

"The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. It's 
true. And these aren't the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its 
people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're 
not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and 
they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're 
bringing crime, they're rapists — and some, I assume, are good people."

*Explaining the rating:* The only reason this isn't a 10-Jeb comment is 
that Trump actually figured out a possible way to explain it: That he meant 
people *sent by the Mexican government.* As with many of his explanations, 
Trump's story changed depending on the audience.
2. Says John McCain isn't a hero 

Jul. 18: Family Leadership Summit, Ames, Iowa 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/07/18/trump-slams-mccain-for-being-captured-in-vietnam/>

"He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like 
people who weren’t captured."

*Explaining the rating:* In a normal year, for a normal candidate, this 
would be staggering. Observers last year assumed it would be, too. But in 
the post-tea party Republican Party, it's conceivable that a non-Trump 
candidate *might* get away with this, if he or she apologized quickly. 
(Trump didn't.)
3. Refers to Megyn Kelly's menstruation 

Aug. 7: Interview on CNN 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/07/trump-says-foxs-megyn-kelly-had-blood-coming-out-of-her-wherever/>

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of 
her wherever. In my opinion, she was off-base."

*Explaining the rating:* Trump again seized on the ambiguity of his 
comments to insist that he didn't mean the thing that he obviously actually 
did mean.
4. Insults Carly Fiorina's looks 

Aug. 14: Flying back from a rally in Hampton, N.H. 
<http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/trump-seriously-20150909?page=12>

"Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that — the 
face of our next president!?"

*Explaining the rating:* Under normal circumstances, this would require 
some walking back and a few press releases. The gender subtext made this 
trickier — especially once Fiorina offered 
<http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/carly-fiorinas-response-to-donald-trump-and-his-insults-on-her-appearance/>
 
her sharp rebuttal.
5. Says voters don't care about policy issues 

Aug. 15: Interview at the Iowa State Fair 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/16/donald-trumps-surprisingly-savvy-comment-about-american-politics/>

*On releasing policy papers: *"Well, I think the press is more eager to see 
it than the voters, to be honest. I think the voters like me, they 
understand me, they know I'm going to do the job."

*Explaining the rating:* To be fair, they really don't. But you still don't 
generally say that.
6. Gets his military advice from news shows 

Aug. 16: Interview with NBC 
<http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-transcript-august-16-2015-n412636>

CHUCK TODD: "Who do you talk to for military advice right now?"
TRUMP: "Well, I watch the shows. I mean, I really see a lot of great — you 
know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows ..."

*Explaining the rating:* Continuing a string of baffling comments, Trump 
set the stage for criticism of his lack of foreign policy chops by saying 
he got military advice from Sunday political shows. Another candidate would 
presumably be considered unserious by a broader section of the electorate.
7. Suggests 9/11 was George W. Bush's fault 

Oct. 16: Interview with Bloomberg 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/10/16/jeb-bush-slams-donald-trump-for-saying-911-came-during-george-w-bushs-reign/>

"I think I’m much more competent than all of them. I mean, say what you 
want, the World Trade Center came down during his time."

*Explaining the rating:* This borders on the popular conspiracy theory that 
George W. Bush was involved in the 9/11 attacks, but for a Republican 
candidate, the bigger problem is disparaging the most recent Republican 
president. (Note: The Jeb metric here is misleading; had Jeb Bush said this 
of his brother, it would have been a 10-Jebber.)
8. Calls Iowa voters stupid 

Nov. 13: Rally in Ft. Dodge, Iowa 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/11/13/donald-trump-begs-iowans-not-to-believe-ben-carson-dont-be-fools-okay/>

*In reference to his doubts about Ben Carson's claim that Carson tried to 
stab someone in his youth*: "How stupid are the people of Iowa?"

*Explaining the rating:* It's amazing he still came in second in the state, 
especially after his opponents ran this in ads before the caucuses.
9. Says Muslims in New Jersey celebrated 9/11 

Nov. 21: Rally in Birmingham, Ala. 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/11/22/donald-trumps-outrageous-claim-that-thousands-of-new-jersey-muslims-celebrated-the-911-attacks/>

"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in 
Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were 
cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were 
cheering."

*Explaining the rating:* As was the case with several of these, Trump's 
insistence that he wasn't wrong ended up drawing out the debate over the 
topic. After a while, fact-checkers simply got tired of pointing out that 
there's no evidence of his claim.
Trump mocks disabled reporter 
Play Video0:42
At a rally in Myrtle Beach, S.C., on Tuesday, Nov. 24, Republican 
presidential candidate Donald Trump mocks New York Times reporter, Serge 
Kovaleski who is disabled. (Reuters) 
10. Mocks a disabled reporter 

Nov. 25: Rally in South Carolina 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/11/25/trump-blasted-by-new-york-times-after-mocking-reporter-with-disability/>

"Written by a nice reporter — now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy. 
[gesticulates] 'Ahh, I don't know what I said! I don't remember!' He's 
going, 'I don't remember!'"

*Explaining the rating:* Just watch the video.
11. Says Muslim migration should be banned 

Dec. 8: Rally, Mt. Pleasant, S.C. 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2015/12/07/e56266f6-9d2b-11e5-8728-1af6af208198_story.html>

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims 
entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure 
out what is going on."

*Explaining the rating:* As it turns out, this proposal was not unpopular 
with his party. Trump repeatedly insisted it was only a *temporary* ban, 
and Republican primary voters were broadly supportive 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/14/will-donald-trumps-renewed-rhetoric-on-muslims-help-or-hurt-november/>
 
of the idea.
12. Doesn't know about the nuclear triad 

Dec. 15: Debate, Las Vegas 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/15/who-said-what-and-what-it-meant-the-fifth-gop-debate-annotated/>

"I think — I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is 
very important to me."

*Explaining the rating:* Most Americans probably weren't familiar with the 
three-part system for delivering nuclear payloads. But most Americans 
weren't participating in a Republican presidential debate. Moderator Hugh 
Hewitt had asked Trump which component was most important, eliciting the 
response above. When Hewitt turned to Marco Rubio, Rubio explained the 
topic.

But, again, most Americans don't know what it is either.
13. Encourages rally violence, part I 

Feb. 1: Rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-knock-the-crap-out-of-tomato-throwers/2016/02/01/1d1fe1e2-c92b-11e5-b9ab-26591104bb19_video.html>

"They said, 'Mr. Trump, there may be someone with tomatoes in the 
audience.' So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock 
the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I 
promise you, I will pay the legal fees."

*Explaining the rating:* When a person at a rally subsequently knocked the 
hell out of a protester, Trump flirted with making good on his promise to 
pay up.
14. Repeats a vulgar insult of Ted Cruz 

Feb. 8: Rally in Manchester, N.H. 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/08/donald-trump-repeats-crowd-members-ted-cruz-insult-hes-a-pussy/>

On Ted Cruz: "She just said a terrible thing. You know what she said? Shout 
it out. [Audience member shouts.] Okay, you're not allowed to say, and I 
never expect to hear that from you again. She said — I never expect to hear 
that from you again! — she said: 'He's a pussy.' That's terrible."

*Explaining the rating:* Trump played this off as his simply repeating 
something he'd heard. Not a great excuse, but it might save another 
candidate who'd done the same thing.
15. Calls the pope "disgraceful" 

Feb. 18: A statement on his website 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/18/basically-nothing-can-bring-donald-trump-down-dont-expect-his-pope-feud-to-be-any-different/>

"If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is 
ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the pope would have only 
wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president because this 
would not have happened. ... For a religious leader to question a person’s 
faith is disgraceful."

*Explaining the rating:* It's the pope.
16. Encourages rally violence, part II 

Feb. 23: Rally in Las Vegas 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/02/23/donald-trump-on-protester-id-like-to-punch-him-in-the-face/>

*About a protester*: "There’s a guy, totally disruptive, throwing punches; 
we’re not allowed to punch back anymore. I love the old days. You know what 
they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? 
They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks."

*Explaining the rating:* Taking this *outside* of the context of the 
previous comments, it would still be sharply criticized as fomenting 
violence. With the previous incident in mind, the Jeb-rating probably goes 
up to a 10.
17. Threatens to unwind the First Amendment 

Feb. 26: Rally in Texas 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/26/donald-trump-vows-to-open-up-libel-laws-to-make-suing-the-media-easier-heres-how-he-could-do-it/>

"If I become president, oh, do they [the New York Times and The Washington 
Post] have problems. They're going to have such problems. And one of the 
things I'm going to do — and this is only going to make it tougher for me, 
and I've never said this before — but one of the things I'm gonna do if I 
win — and I hope I do, and we're certainly leading — is I'm going to open 
up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and 
false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money."

*Explaining the rating:* Given how most people feel about the news media, 
this would probably be survivable for most candidates.
18. Declines to disavow racists 

Feb. 28: Interview on CNN 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/03/01/donald-trump-and-david-duke-for-the-record/>

"I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me or what’s going on, because, 
you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white 
supremacists. ... I have to look at the group. I mean, I don’t know what 
group you’re talking about. You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I 
know nothing about."

*Explaining the rating:* Failing to categorically reject David Duke and 
racists is toward the front of the "What Not to Do in a Campaign" manual. 
But Trump shrugged.
19. Refers to a certain part of his anatomy 

March 3: During a debate in Detroit 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/03/the-fox-news-gop-debate-transcript-annotated/>

"He referred to my hands. If they are small, something else must be small. 
I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee."

*Explaining the rating:* I don't even know.
20. Dismisses his campaign manager's grabbing a reporter 

March 10: After a debate in Miami. 
<http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2016/03/10/donald-trump-on-allegations-campaign-manager-yanked-female-reporter-it-didnt-happen-n2131910>

"I don't think it ever happened because he was surrounded by Secret Service 
agents, many of them who were with me, and I didn't see anything happen. 
... You have to check her out, just check her out."

*Explaining the rating:* The Trump campaign's response to accusations that 
his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, had grabbed then-Breitbart 
reporter Michelle Fields was remarkable in its entirety. The candidate's 
first response was a flat-out denial. Asked about it after a debate, Trump 
tried to imply that Fields was the one who should be considered suspect. 
Surveillance footage later proved that she had been telling the truth.
21. Blames the Internet for an unfounded allegation he made 

March 12: Interview with NBC 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/03/14/the-two-step-60-second-fact-check-that-easily-disproves-trumps-worst-tweets/>

"All I know is what’s on the Internet."

*Explaining the rating:* I like to think that a presidential candidate who 
explains away misinformation by saying that he was just repeating something 
he'd seen online would meet with broad skepticism. But I'm not convinced 
that he would.
22. Declares that women who have illegal abortions should be punished 

March 30: Interview on MSNBC 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/30/trump-if-abortions-were-banned-women-who-seek-them-would-face-punishment/>

"The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. There has to 
be some form.”

*Explaining the rating:* This response managed to annoy both sides of the 
abortion debate — a remarkable feat. For most candidates, that would be 
enough for him to be sworn off.
23. Accuses a judge of being motivated by race 

5-Minute Fix newsletter

Keeping up with politics is easy now.

May 27: Rally, San Diego 
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/27/in-san-diego-trump-shames-local-mexican-judge-as-protesters-storm-streets/>

*On the judge who is hearing a case involving Trump University*: "I think 
Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself. I think it’s a disgrace that 
he’s doing this. ... The judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican. ... 
I think the Mexicans are going to end up loving Donald Trump."

*Explaining the rating:* This occurred after Trump had survived all of the 
comments above and clinched the Republican nomination. After he made the 
comments, general election polls showed his numbers dropping. Even fellow 
Republicans, such as House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, flat-out said the comment 
was racist.

In other words, this could actually be one of the factors that dooms 
Trump's campaign. And if you think that, I recommend you go back and 
re-read this article from the beginning.

>> Baier (Special Report), Megyn Kelly (Kelly File), and Chris Wallace (Fox 
>> News Sunday and Special Report).
>>
>> These three Fox Hosts are the primary voices behind the Rupert Murdoch 
>> anti-Trump faction within Fox News.  Remember when Donald Trump pulled out

>> Another key aspect to keep in mind is that Rupert Murdoch doesn’t operate 
>> alone.  There are other media entities, not as big but still influential, 
>> that follow the exact same set of directives.   The Salem Media 
>> Communications group is one example (Hot Air, Human Events, Twitchy, Red 
>> State, Hugh Hewitt et al), and iHeart Radio is another.
>>
>> Just like Murdoch at Fox News, Salem Media Communications and iHeart 
>> Radio hold the same ideological objectives.  Every entity within those 
>> enterprises is part of the same synergistic networking group.   
>> Politically, Club 4 Growth and a host of other PAC’s and political 
>> enterprises are funding mechanisms aligned in ideology and providing 
>> financial support to the aforementioned political media sales force.
>>
>> As more and more people awaken to the reality they become increasingly 
>> self-aware.  With that awareness comes a realization that conspiracy 
>> theories are quite often not just theory.

>> *ps. Do you still think Chris Wallace should moderate the third 
>> presidential debate?  …Knowing full well that the person who determines his 
>> income, Rupert Murdoch, has been specifically identified as giving 
>> instructions to Chris Wallace to take down Donald Trump?*
>>
>> Oh yeah, and let’s talk about Daron Shaw’s Fox News Polls…. shall we?
