Every other time that the media has went after a candidate, they either dropped out of the race or watched their numbers plummet the next day.

Trump has trumped them all so far.

I wonder how high his numbers would be if the media weren't talking negatively about him every day and instead just covered the campaign without trying to determine the outcome of it.
When the media goes after a candidate, the candidate will usually change their tone or deflect or try to deny somehow.

Hillary would be a good example. She is straight out denying any wrongdoing at all and trying to change the topic whenever possible.

Trump has just taken them head on, whether he was right or wrong. "Fuck you, I'm Donald Trump, bring it on."

The way he got Fox News to back down was really a holy fuck moment.
