'Bending over': Breathless Wolf Blitzer riveted by Donald Trump getting out of a car [pic]

What a difference a day makes. Or … not.

The first GOP debate hadn’t even started yet, but that didn’t matter. Because Wolf Blitzer already knew what the breakout story would be:

"BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump gets out of his car!" Think I'm joking? Turn on @CNN.

Hey CNN, "here's Donald Trump walking out of his car" is why people don't watch your channel outside of airports or when debates are on.
— Political Footballs (@politicalftball) September 16, 2015

CNN breathlessly shows Donald Trump getting out of the car. It's as if he's already president the way that channel is treating him.
