Donald Trump Just CRUSHED In A New Poll

Roger Ailes to Donald Trump: ‘We resolve this now…or go to war’

Fox News chairman Roger Ailes woke up Monday morning thinking that his network and Donald Trump’s campaign had reached an understanding.

After a weekend’s worth of stressful phone calls, the tacit agreement — he thought — was that Trump would stop attacking Ailes’ biggest television star, Megyn Kelly, in interviews and tweets.

Then came an ugly surprise. Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he thought Kelly should apologize to him.

“This was the final straw for Roger,” according to a source close to the situation.

Ailes’ office called Trump’s office. We “can resolve this now,” Ailes said to Trump, “or we can go to war.”

As we all know by now, war was averted. There is mutual respect between the two master negotiators. Trump has stopped criticizing Kelly. And Fox has stopped ignoring Trump on its shows.

But if this is a truce, it’s a tenuous one. In recent days Trump loyalists have leaked unflattering claims about Ailes, and Fox staffers have privately likened Trump to a crazy person.

With detente in place, each side is now being more careful with their words. Trump is, to put it kindly, as one high-placed Fox source purposefully did, “a nontraditional candidate.”

The candidate is also being kind to Fox; when Trump called into Lou Dobbs’ Fox Business show on Wednesday, he said “I love your show and watch it all the time.”

Given the billionaire’s popularity, “Ailes had to make peace,” said Roger Stone, a Trump senior adviser who recently left the campaign in disputed circumstances.

But no one knows how long the peace will last.

…… The behind-the-scenes calls seemed to be bearing fruit by Sunday night. But then came Trump’s assertion, bright and early Monday on “Morning Joe,” that Kelly should apologize. It might have made his supporters happy, but it made Ailes exceedingly unhappy.

On the ensuing phone call, there was “very blunt” talk from both sides, including Ailes’ warning of war, two of the sources said.

There was an “instant understanding between two titans that this was over,” one of the sources said. Trump wouldn’t apologize, Kelly wouldn’t apologize, but both sides would move on.

Trump tweeted about the phone call right afterward and said he’d been assured that “‘Trump’ will be treated fairly” by Fox.

The sources for this story contradicted New York magazine’s assertion that Ailes called Trump repeatedly and “begged” the candidate to tweet that they’d settled their feud. “Neither of them would beg for anything,” one of the sources said.

In a statement on Monday night, Ailes said “the air has been cleared” with Trump but added he supported Kelly “100%.”

When Kelly’s show started at 9 p.m., hundreds of thousands of extra viewers turned on Fox. She very briefly acknowledged the controversy and moved on — no “milking it for the ratings,” as one rival executive said — but she still easily scored the night’s highest cable news ratings, beating the usual winner, Fox’s 8 p.m. “O’Reilly Factor.”

So much for the threatened boycott by Trump supporters.

TUESDAY:

Fox noticeably ramped back up its coverage of Trump without reflecting back on the “blood” comments that disgusted Kelly and company.

When the candidate called into “Fox & Friends” at 7 a.m. Tuesday, co-host Steve Doocy said, “Glad we’re friends again.”

Trump didn’t talk about the Fox fracas on Fox, but when CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked about it, Trump effusively praised Ailes and called him “amazing.”

Later in the day Hannity taped a lengthy interview with Trump at Trump Tower. Hannity started with the “elephant in the room,” the “Fox issue,” and Trump said things were “absolutely fine” now.

Part one aired at 10 p.m. Tuesday, following Kelly’s show, and the ratings proved why the Fox-Trump relationship is mutually beneficial.

In the key demographic of 25- to 54-year-olds, Kelly’s ratings were above average, but Hannity’s were even better, making him #1 for the night. Hannity usually has fewer than 400,000 viewers in the demo; with Trump, he had more than 600,000.

Donald Trump on why he’s still surging in the polls

Stump For Trump’ Girls Want Donald Trump To Be Your Next President

Donald Trump is winning because he is relentless!

http://personalliberty.com/donald-trump-is-winning-because-he-is-relentless/

Hi, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Guess who’s in the news again? Donald Trump. He’s not in the news. He is the news. He’s all anyone talks about. It should be news when any other candidate is mentioned.

I used to be an anchorman for CNBC. I hosted five shows on that network (in those days called Financial News Network). So let me see if I can make the announcement in my anchorman voice: “This is a Special Report from ABC News. We have breaking news. Someone else besides Donald Trump was mentioned today in the presidential race. This is truly a remarkable story!”

But ironically, the media that report on “all Trump, all the time” don’t understand why The Donald is such a phenomenon. The mainstream media doesn’t get it. Intellectuals don’t get it. Campaign consultants don’t get it. John McCain doesn’t get it. Maybe even Fox News anchors don’t get it. How the heck is Trump still in the GOP presidential race, let alone winning? How can he offend so many people, yet still sit at the top of the polls? The opinion makers and TV experts just don’t understand his appeal.

Well, I get it. It’s because of one trait The Donald has in excess; he’s relentless. I’m the author of a new book called “The Power of Relentless.”

So I may be the world’s authority on what makes Trump such a phenomenon.

The media and everyone who does business with me call me “Mr. Relentless.” Well, I’ve finally found someone more relentless than me: Trump. He breaks the mold. If Hollywood central casting created a “prototype” for relentless, it would be The Donald.

My book is about winning at anything. Make no mistake about it: It’s a war out there. No matter your goals or industry you’re in, it’s a dog-eat-dog competition. The broken and battered bodies lie all over the battlefield. Trust me; the weak shall never inherit the Earth. My book is about the fact you’ve got to be tough and never give in, or give up. You’ve got to wear blinders and attack relentlessly. You’ve got to be on offense 24/7.

You can never let an obstacle slow you down. You just put your head down and attack like a bull in a china shop. You go over it, or under it, or around it, or you run right through the brick wall.

That relentless mindset is more important to success than any other factor. Relentless is more important than your IQ, your looks, your expertise or your college degree. They don’t teach it in college. But all the great leaders have it. What’s the difference between a relentless billionaire and a pit bull? The pit bull eventually lets go!

This power-of-relentless philosophy describes Trump to a “T.” He’s not just a bull in a china shop. He’s a human Energizer Bunny: You can hit him, knock him down, blindside him, break his knees with a lead pipe. But he just keeps getting up. He’s Freddie Kruger in “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” He’s Slyvester Stallone in “Rocky.” He’s a real-life Whac-A-Mole.

Donald has survived four business bankruptcies and come back stronger than ever. He’s now worth somewhere between $4.5 billion (according to Forbes) and $10 billion (according to his FEC filing). Instead of asking during the debates about his record of bankruptcies, I think the better question would have been: “Mr. Trump, can you explain to the audience how you keep making miraculous comebacks? How you turn failures into an even bigger net worth? All of America is fascinated. In this terrible Obama economy, we all need to know your secret!”

The experts said he’d never survive his comments about Hispanics or Mexico. He took the lead.

They said he’d never survive his comments about John McCain. He expanded his lead.

Republican leaders said Trump didn’t belong on the debate stage. He took the stage and guess what? An all-time record 24 million Americans tuned in. The “Trump Debate” was the most watched non-sports event in cable television history.

The experts and focus groups I watched after last week’s debate said Trump was dead once again, referring of course to his Rosie O’Donnell remarks and confrontation with Megyn Kelly of Fox News during the debate. Yet the latest NBC News poll post-debate out on Sunday shows Trump still up by just about 2 to 1.

And the most detailed poll taken this week shows Trump gained 7 points after the supposedly “anti-female” remarks. Yes, I said gained!

Trump is on fire. He’s even converted African-American women to his side. Have you seen the two women defending Trump on YouTube? It’s the YouTube sensation of the year!

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. It isn’t policies that win elections anymore. It’s personality. It’s the power of relentless. I think a Trump with his bigger-than-life persona and offensive, but colorful, comments will do better with African-American and Hispanic voters than any other politician. This guy is Chris Rock meets Pete Rose meets the “American Idol.” He is a badass. And America at this moment in time is looking for a badass to tell off the establishment, to give his middle finger to the powers that be, to put people in D.C. in jail for ripping off the middle class. Trump is just the man to do it.

Meanwhile, after the Kelly dust-up, Republican leaders called for him to drop out of the race. They’re all kidding themselves.

Trump at this point is the world’s biggest reality show. He’s the most fascinating character ever on our TV screens. He’s his own country code. He makes Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner seem boring. The more offensive and outrageous his comments the more his legend grows. He may be the definition of “too big to fail.”

Relentless people like Trump can’t be stopped or even slowed. They just keep fighting and moving forward relentlessly. That’s how you win a war: inch by grueling inch. That’s how you win a marathon: one step at a time. You put enough steps together, and pretty soon you’ve defied the odds and you’ve run 30 miles. That’s how you eat an elephant: one bite at a time. That’s the power of relentless. Trump understands it; his critics don’t.

Times have changed. Traditional politicians are the dinosaurs. They are taxi drivers who paid $100,000 for taxi medallions. Trump is Uber, who paid nothing, has no license and has taken away all their customers. The taxi drivers don’t understand what’s happened and why.

I checked in with an old friend this weekend. She is an intelligent, sophisticated, educated, beautiful, brilliant, female business owner — a rare Republican living in Manhattan. I wanted to get her read on Trump. Here is the response I got:

I still feel the same. Sure, he could have kept his cool a bit more. But at the end of the day, this country is now driven by disruptive technologies and innovations. And in a world where Kim Kardashian’s ass has its own fan club and Bruce Jenner in a Diane von Furstenberg gown is a valiant and brave sports hero, there is only one candidate who is in tune with the zeitgeist: Trump. The same old same old ain’t gonna cut the mustard. The times they have a-changed.

Here is my sum-up of the appeal of Trump:

He is a relentless disruptor and agitator.
He is a relentless rebel and renegade.
He is a relentless badass.
He is relentlessly combative.
He has a relentless big mouth.
He is relentlessly offensive.
He is relentlessly controversial.
He is relentlessly politically incorrect.
He is relentlessly stubborn.
He is a relentless street fighter.
He relentlessly believes in himself, his talents, his gut instincts, his country, American exceptionalism and capitalism.
And he can’t be bought or bribed. He’s worth billions of dollars. What are you gonna give him?

All of that is enough for millions of American patriots who’ve had it with “politics as usual.”

There’s only one problem. I thought I was “The King of Relentless.” I wrote the book on the subject. I have the website: RelentlessROOT.com. I thought I had the market cornered. That damn Donald Trump. He wins again.

Does Trump wound himself with offensive comments once in a while? Sure. And he’ll probably do it again, and again, and again. But no one should be surprised if we’re all calling him “Mr. President” 18 months from now.

That’s the power of relentless.

I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week. God bless America and make us all relentless!
