I'm finding myself engaged in a moronic exercise, and I should know better, but I'm still doing it. Every time the media gloms onto one of these Trump-is-doing-politics-wrong-and-it's-going-to-cost-him stories, I wait for the inevitable result in which the whole issue either has no effect at all on Trump or, as seems more likely, actually helps him. That happens every time. That's not the moronic part.
The moronic part is what I expect will happen next, which is that the political media finally, at long last, smacks itself in the forehead and says, Holy crap, these stories are idiotic because a) no one cares; and b) Trump not only defies political conventional wisdom on just about every score, but he's proving to other candidates that they don't need to follow them either, thus rendering the whole Trump's-not-following-the-rules huffing and puffing self-evidently absurd. And they will stop doing the stories.
