The media elites feel that shiver up the spine -- and it's not victory

Let’s see. According to the Post, Trump repeated “his false claims to have opposed the U.S. interventions in Iraq and Libya.”

Really? The only time Trump ever said he might support a U.S. war in Iraq was with radio shock-jock Howard Stern in 2002. Here is how that exchange went:

“Are you for invading Iraq?” Stern asked. “Yeah [pause] … I guess so,” Trump replied.

Anyone who listens to the audio of that exchange will not recognize the bold colors of the Trump they know. Instead, they heard a man who clearly hadn’t given the Iraq war that much thought (after all, he was a private businessman at the time). Trump added, “You know, I wish the first time it was done correctly.”

Even so, that was enough for the Post, NBC News, and other media elites to say Trump “lied” when he said he opposed the 2003 Iraq War.

Not exactly a “gotcha” moment.
