Observation about what Michelle Fields manhandling shows.

Based on this from Ace of Spades, I guess I was wrong about Breitbart wanting Lewandowski fired, they only wanted an apology for manhandling Michelle Fields. Maybe they're calling for his firing now that he's calling them liars:

... Breitbart.com obviously likes Trump a heck of a lot. And look how Trump is repaying that -- by essentially humiliating them, not acknowledging at all the goodwill that Breitbart should have amassed with Trump.

Breitbart asked for the most minor of concessions that would save its own face (they have a responsibility to protect their reporters), and Trump responded by calling the reporter's truthfulness into question, and calling into question a previous claim of having been hit with a police baton.

This requires Breitbart, in return, to issue another press release.

I imagine Team Trump's next move will be to demand Michelle Fields apologize to "Mr. Trump."

Trump doesn't seem to care about how he treats his strong allies. Humiliating them, making them appear impotent.

Something to keep in mind, going forward. It's not just his opponents he treats contemptuously -- it's his allies, too.

Note that all Breitbart asked for was the most minimal of concessions -- an apology. They didn't demand the firing of this guy or anything.

They asked for something minor and perfectly reasonable, and the response was to... go to war against a Breitbart reporter, basically.

Anything that could hurt "Mr. Trump's" brand must be destroyed.
