They support a totalitarian press, which is bad. Trump is experiencing it every day. The globalists run the media.

They support socialism which did in so many countries already. This is manifesting to be very bad for the people . Some can't get food to eat. Unemployment is 50%.Very bad what socialism does to the people who are on welfare and work if they have a job.. bad, bad. socialism is very bad.

They don't want Trump to create jobs.. it is just odd.

Yes, Trump really has an uphill battle trying to pass what is good for this country. This is the strangest .

It says in the last days, Good is bad, and bad is good.. I see it in the Hillary supporters every day.
I personally support universal healthcare...solely so you can get back on your meds...

It's not a personal attack. Feel free to report me. It's funny you cry about PC and then run to censor. Do what you must.

Really? Some trump followers have said even worse things directly to me in response to my posts, and have even put nasty messages on reps, and sent IMs, and I haven't reported anything,. Well, I did report one, not-so-thinly-veiled threat, to the mods. I do think, tho, that the poster might have been better to, instead of saying "you", referred to the generic "trump followers".

Apparently you would rather believe what the media claims he says, instead of what he actually says. You listen directly to what the man says, it's obvious that the media's version of much of what he says is twisted, embellished, and even fabricated. Add to that the speculation that the media and his other detractors endless speculate on what he "meant", what they assume (the worst) he would do under their hypothetical situations, and slam him for that.

Sad you can't see it. Thinking for yourself instead of what the left wing democrats want you to think, and then to pollyparrot, might open your eyes.

I can tell you that not all government employees are so enthused about the Hillary, or even the current state of affairs either.

You do realize the problem with his candidacy is that the media is reporting EXACTLY what he says. It's not as if words are being twisted at all, he is actually saying things that make people look at him and his supporters with side eyes.

I really miss the old days, when the Fairness Doctrine was in place, and the Citizens United case hadn't happened to make corporations the same as individual people. Back then, there were no PACS spending endless money on their candidates, and if someone wanted more time on air than they got on the news along with everyone else, they had to buy advertising. Back then, a deeply flawed candidate like trump would never have gotten any traction - not in small part because trump wouldn't have spent the money to get himself on the airwaves.

fairness doctrine



noun
Legal Definition of fairness doctrine



  1. : a doctrine requiring broadcasters to provide an opportunity for response to personal attacks aired by the broadcaster and especially for the airing of conflicting viewpoints on controversial issues
Fairness Doctrine | Definition of Fairness Doctrine by Merriam-Webster

In other words:
If you don't agree with me then you are a sheep incapable of thinking for yourself :roll eyes:

I've tried reading transcripts of his speeches, halfway through the word salad and wandering off the point I have to give up it is so painful

It's never your fault. It's never Trump's fault. It makes you look like your suffering from delusions and paranoia. People don't vote for that, and it's not going to matter who you place to "police" the polling centers or what intimidation you attempt to use.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and other hate radio talk show hosts found a modicum of success with name calling, false accusations, and ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Alas, their radio network is struggling with $20 billion in debt. Seems hate didn't have as broad an appeal as they imagined. I suspect that's what Donald Trump and his minions are going to find out in 85 days.

Meanwhile, we have to listen to his name calling, unsubstantiated allegations, ridiculous conspiracy theories, and nonsense about elections being rigged and 2nd Amendment solutions to HRC appointing judges.

His right to free speech is coming dangerously close to shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Too many of us have watched the Clintons for years, and taking away that mental picture would require a surgical procedure.

Funny thing, isn't it... y'all loved all the free publicity trump was getting during the primaries, when, even back then, a lot of the media was looking askance at trumps comments and behavior. As long as they just played the rallies, full length, they were great! Morning Joe was great! Twitter was great! But, then, trump outdid himself on the craziness, and the videos of him talking became biased, and the media dishonest.

Since trump followers love hyperbole so much, just think of the response by the non-trumpists as hyperbole. Think of their votes for other candidates as hyperbole. I really think that nothing is driving people toward trump, but trump himself is driving people way from him.
