Is part of the blame that the media shoulders in this, we respond to the squeaky wheels. I learned everything I knew from watching the War Room, and studying the Clinton campaign.

WALLACE: "What do we risk by paying attention to a squeaky minority and not the majority."
CARVILLE: "I don’t know how to tell you this, the press has not near as much power as they had when I was young. Remember Lyndon Johnson said, I lost the wall because I lost Walter Cronkite? I mean, if you lose Wolf Blitzer, you’re not going to lose anything. I don’t mean to paying on Wolf. I like him. You just had this diffusion of media power and media authority. And you’re right, Trump and Bernie Sanders are able to — by the way, the happiest person right now is about 1:15 Moscow time, this is growing very well for slated mere Putin, I promise you, he’s probably staying up watching us right now."
