Who do you think will be the first reporter to snap and give Trump what for to his face when he demeans them?

[bbernardini]

I honestly have no theories. I'm just curious what we all think.

1. I Believe We Have to Think of the Likely Makeup of Your Hypothetical Population

It seems to me it is an embarrassingly small fraction of the increasingly-rare actual "reporters" with talent, resources, and that "Edward R. Murrow" persistence and spine who are even willing to submit to his crap in the first place. And then there is the problem that when he can control the circs, he excludes anyone who's ever done him wrong - like, say, telling the truth or failing to fawn properly.

For me, it is such a small set that the answer to your original query is meaningless.

2. Hoping for someone to cast caution to the wind.

One that would have practiced a littany of call outs landing staccato jabs that reminded us that stinging like a swarm of bees is only the beginning of knock out punches.
I have been practicing to the silencing eyes of my wife hoping I don't have an opportunity.

3. bluntly: none

And if there is anyone, when it does happen, it will be a strong-willed female reporter (and likely African American) if I were placing a bet.

The male reporters - especially Jake "Tapper" - are all spineless lapdogs.

4. It should have been the quiet piggy woman

When he got away with that there were no more holds. Anything goes.

5. At this late stage, why would you be holding out hope

6. It would be such a great day...

…if that ever happened. But as one poster has already mentioned, it would happen only once, because Trump would then start excluding everyone who wasn’t a servile toady. It would also require a reporter with the attitude of Bill Hicks.

8. Please

Post a clip of Bill Hicks to support your statement.

I'm still mad at Bill Hicks for dying.

He was up there with Carlin in his observations.

11. Well, there's that one about the Zapruder...

…film—you have probably seen it, though (it’s probably Hicks’ most famous routine). I’m not real proficient at posting clips from a phone, however (just got a smartphone a couple weeks ago).

7. I remember when Dan Rather of CBS confronted Nixon

10. And The Revenge Was Served Cold.

9. Whoever Planned To Retire That Day.

12. It'll be a woman

and the male reporters will all run away.
