Donald Trump may be a massive thorn in the GOP’s side, but he does still have his supporters. And Sheriff David Clarke is apparently one of them, as he has come to Trump’s defense against the media.

Responding to a The Wall Street Journal article questioning how much longer Donald Trump’s “political and media apologists on the right will keep pretending he’s a serious candidate,” Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke took to Twitter to weigh in on the issue in his typically bold and straightforward manner.

Clarke tweeted, “Here we go again. The VOTERS get to decide if he is a serious candidate dammit, not the media elite. WE THE PEOPLE!”

The billionaire businessman once again became the center of attention this weekend due to controversial comments taken out of context and twisted to support a media narrative.

Trump was asked a question about Arizona Sen. John McCain, who has been highly critical of Trump, saying his popularity in the polls was only due to riling up the “crazies” in the GOP base.

Trump’s trouble came when he told a bad joke that fell flat, saying of McCain, “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Of course he followed that up by agreeing that McCain really was a war hero, and noted that his problems with McCain stem from differing opinions on policy, something he reiterated and expanded upon over the next couple of days.

But the liberal media, including Fox News, have focused solely on the one line from Trump, and he has been virtually surrounded by a firing squad that includes many of his fellow GOP candidates, some even demanding he drop out of the race.

According to Western Journalism, however, not everyone hates Donald Trump, with some still offering their support for his candidacy, if not his specific comments about McCain.

Sheriff Clarke is one of those, and the media needs to realize that, love him or hate him, Trump is a real candidate in this presidential race, for whatever it is worth.

Sheriff Clarke is right that voters decide who is a viable candidate, and not the media elite. But in all seriousness, is there anyone out there that can actually take Trump seriously and think that he would have even the slightest chance of winning the presidency?
