Several months ago, the Huffington Post relegated all coverage of Donald Trump to their entertainment section because they thought he was a joke.
They’re not laughing anymore. Check out this headline from right after Trump won New Hampshire:

HuffPo: ‘NH GOES RACIST SEXIST XENOPHOBIC’
“New Hampshire Republican primary voters on Tuesday made official their choice for president of the United States: real estate mogul and reality television star Donald J. Trump,” reads the story by Ryan Grim and Igor Bobic.
“The businessman’s resounding victory amid a crowded field of more experienced and accomplished candidates is a stunning turn of events for a party that vowed just four years ago to be more inclusive to minorities after failing to unseat President Barack Obama in the bitter 2012 election. What the GOP got instead is a xenophobic demagogue who’s insulted pretty much everyone and even earned the endorsement of white supremacists. Trump’s victory in New Hampshire likely points to a drawn-out slog between Trump and at least one of his rivals as they battle to secure enough delegates in hopes of winning their party’s nomination this summer.
“Trump defeated a crop of experienced candidates Tuesday, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, all of whom seemed more interested in fighting each other than taking on the longtime leader of the polls in the Granite State. Trump also fended off two well-spoken conservative senators — Marco Rubio of Florida, who’d surged in the days before the primary, and Ted Cruz of Texas, who won the Iowa caucuses last week.
The Huffington Post is probably happy about Bernie Sanders’ win in New Hampshire but they’re much angrier about Trump’s win. The HuffPo doesn’t seem to realize insulting the people of New Hampshire is not a winning strategy.
They’re throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Trump and you know what?
None of it is going to stick.
