How long until the media uses the term "flip flopper"

If a dem said he/she wouldn't sign a pledge, then flipped a month later, that would be the opening comment.

Watching Puke Russert, up to 10 minutes in, not even close to being brought up. Instead comments are, "he is the winner," "magnanimous," "trend setter."

Friggen joke. My bet is a MSNBC host will not utter the words for at least 24 hours.

Every time T Rump says something, it's like the universe was newly created ex nihilo. There is no past for T Rump, only what he's saying right this second, which will be obsolete as soon as the next sentence.

You'd think one or two reporters would have the gumption to question T Rump about this, but apparently each and every one of them is too cowed by the prospect of T Rump yelling at them to ask. It's a pretty pitiful spectacle.
