I have been critical in the past of President Donald Trump's eccentric behavior, but when he is right on policy he deserves support even from conservatives like me who did not support him in primaries last year. 


The latest odd spin from left-leaning media pundits at CNN and MSNBC is that no matter what campaign promise the president tries to honor he must be "hurting" the same base of voters that backed him last November.

Pull out of the Paris Climate Accord and the cable nets search high and low for some Democrat who lives in a red county to interview on why the Trump policy will hurt that voter who likely did not really vote for Trump in the first place. Repeal Obamacare and that supposedly "hurts" Trump supporters, who will now turn on him.

The same MSM pollsters who badly undercounted Republicans last November are still spinning out badly flawed data now about the approval ratings of the president. Sometimes left-of-center media can make legitimate complaints about how odd the White House communications operation can be, but they undercut their own credibility because they still cannot separate their own anti-conservative bias from straight reporting of the news.

For all their criticism of White House fantasies, the MSM pundits live in their own fantasy world where there is a blue wave just waiting in 2018 to overturn GOP majorities in the House and Senate but no matter how hard they dream there is no hard evidence yet from special elections that their dream will come true.
