It scarcely matters, when Fox News & Rush Limbaugh will back Trump up in anything he utters. Reality is now fungible, especially when the GOP base has the memory capacity of goldfish.

Who banged the drums for the Iraq war that 65% of Americans and veterans now say was a mistake? Fox News, Rush & right-wing hate radio.

Who insisted on total loyalty to George W. Bush as an awesome wartime commander in chief with a giant package, strutting about an aircraft carrier? Fox News, Rush & right-wing hate radio.

Who insisted that deregulating Wall Street was only common sense as business knows better how to manage money than that damn gub’mint? Fox News, Rush & right-wing hate radio.

And yet … these same outlets largely escaped any reckoning for how wrong they were.

Why? The viewership could not - indeed, cannot - EVER admit they were wrong. About anything. Because once one thing is wrong … then the entire edifice starts to crumble.

Is that starting to happen to Trump?
