The media is trying to make their biggest push to date. They are attempting their own storm on the beaches of Normandy. They've basically mailed it in as far as news coverage and it seems like they know "this might be our last chance" - we better make it count. The false outrage has moved from "we want an appology" to basically "Trump NEEDS to step down"....cancel his run...concede. Give Hillary a chance to win regardless on the dirt in the pipeline.

Anyone else think we are simply seeing those "in the know" on the left making an early attempt at covering for Hillary? Perhaps they are passing down the importance of needing a big hit. If they can steer the narrative to essentially Trump = Hitler, it may soften the blow of what they know is coming.

Maybe not from Trump - perhaps it's coming from Julius Assange or the like?

More is going to be released in the form of emails which will continue to work against Clinton. Thankfully - American's trust in the media is very low and we can only hope that continually whitewashing the Clinton scandals is not going unnoticed. Bernie supporters saw through it and were right - now for the undecideds to wake up. Trump may not be the ideal person for President but he truly cares for this country and is not in it for himself - and he's far more trustworthy than Hillary.

Hillary promised to bring 200,000 jobs to WNY when she was running for senator. Being a blue collar town with lots of manufacturing - people wanted and needed these jobs and voted for her. WNY lost 28,600 in her 1st term as senator - the woman is all talk and can not deliver.

That he isn't a Republican is why he won. You are only enforcing what people like about him. If you want to hurt him you have to tie him to the failed politicians in the party like McCain, McConnell, Ryan, etc.

Interesting thought, trying to get ahead of it. More like a dog pushing the dirt forward over the bone to protect it. I was thinking the media blitz was more like a dog that had pooped and then was kicking dirt back over it to cover it up.

One thing that escapes people is that what comes out now will be forgotten before the voting starts. This is why I think Trump isn't putting ads out there. Most will admit that they ignore the campaign ads, I take the flyers from my mailbox straight to the recycle bin.

So, pre-damage control? Maybe. A good idea? Now, how many good ideas have the Democrats had lately?

Trump under media firestorm = the establishment know there's HUGE dirt coming on Hillary


Actually: Trump under media firestorm = everyday Donny displays less and less ability to function under pressure and the media is correct in reporting it

Oh please that "liberal media" allegation is such bull****.

ABC GMA goes the extra mile for Trump to make sure he stays competitive. Today they hammer the message that "Trump would be ahead of Clinton if he would just stay quiet because Hillary is such a flawed candidate".

How is that "liberal media for Hillary"? That's more like "media desperate for a horse race".

I definitely think HRC and DNC know what emails may be coming out hence the stepping down of some key members yesterday. They are preparing. The media also has been going overboard on Trump the last few days (baby eater, Kahn story which gets more coverage than Orlando Terrorist attack etc).. It should be interesting to see what (if any) information we learn from the new dumps.
One can only hope some of HRC 30,000 deleted emails come out that discuss her Yoga routines and Chelsea's wedding. One only wonders, if they do, and are mostly all work related, who will take the fall? The lawyers who she said read each one carefully before deleting? That is my guess.
