Without a Thought

The 24-hour-news-cycle has turned into a 20-minute-news-cycle which doesn’t leave much time to think. About all a reporter – who has a publisher demanding a new story so he can sell more Internet ads on his website – can do is grab the latest tweet by Donald Trump and let it rip.

And no one understands that better than Trump.

He feeds the news cycle in the morning on Twitter, at midday on Facebook, and in the evening at rallies. He feeds in on Saturday. And Sunday.

He says he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and people will still vote for him and news sites across the Internet go wild. It’s a new howl every 20 minutes. And Trump’s the star of the show.

There’s only one glitch: Trump’s everywhere. But Hillary’s getting the votes.
