Krauthammer: Trump’s Strategy to Flood the Media Works in the Opposite in a Two Way Race

McKELWAY: “Charles, still a lot can happen. We are 90 days out. Unpredictable things, we don’t know.”
KRAUTHAMMER: “Let’s remember, this is about the worst two or three weeks trump has had of any candidate we’ve seen recently. So this is the trough, I think. It’s also what’s left of the bounce that Hillary got, from a successful convention. Also, the disappearance of her main challenger, Bernie Sanders. So you’ve got a consolidation on their part. But, given the fact that we have had a crazy year, and a totally unpredictable candidate, I wouldn’t predict anything right now. But I would point out the great irony. Trump’s strategy has been to flood the media, the free media. And that works extremely well, when you’re running in a primary against 16 other people. He got more than a half of the coverage compared to all the others. And he emerged as the winner. But it works precisely the opposite way, when you’re in a two-way race, with the two most unpopular candidates in recent history. That’s where the less you’re on the air, the less you’re the story, the more advantageous. Hillary has been hiding in a cave somewhere, and as a result, it’s all about trump, and he’s been — when you’re on that much, when you do that many interviews, when you do that many routings, you’re going to make mistakes, and that’s what’s been hurting him.”
