They tried. They tried their best. They threw everything they had at him, and they just couldn’t derail the Trump train. The media’s agenda to keep the country in chaos, and gin up the ratings, might just be thwarted if someone takes the helm of the train(wreck) and actually puts, at least some, things right. They’ve also been king makers. They’ve made and broken politicians with the power, and now they’ve lost that power.

Business Insider noted how The New York Daily News circled the eGOP like vultures, just waiting, salivating at the impending train wreck of the eGOP, or The Donald. Either way, they’ve lost control of the controls, and it’s killing them.

Following Donald Trump’s primary win in Indiana on Tuesday, some are already sounding the death knell for the Republican Party. Among them was the New York Daily News, which featured a mock-up of the GOP’s mascot, apparently dead and resting in a casket, on its Wednesday cover.

Trump is now widely expected to secure this year’s Republican presidential nomination before the party’s July convention.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the GOP, a once-great political party, killed by epidemic of Trump,” the cover reads.
