Media eagerly anticipate end of Trump

“You definitely felt a desire from the media, the hive mind, to declare the second debate the start of Trump’s decline,” said Washington Post political reporter Dave Weigel in an email to the Washington Examiner media desk. He said, however, that Trump’s media coverage may have taken a turn from “frenzied” to more negative when reporters took a break from the campaign to cover Pope Francis’ visit to the U.S. in late September.

Weigel added, “Absolutely it’s too quick to call it over for Trump.”…
