Trump supporters scare me based upon Voltaire's quote:

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities."

Trump supports believe the most absurd statements coming from Trump and defend them and him.

He needs to hammer away at all three plus one every chance he gets. Most of the people on the forum see the bias whether they want to admit it or not. Those who are busy living life don't have the time to keep up daily with what is going on. That's why it is important to keep getting the message out reminding people that what they see in media needs to be questioned.
Naturally those in media are offended when they get criticized, so they try to defend themselves by telling everyone Trump shouldn't keep being critical of them. The dishonest media isn't denying and in fact admits to the bias. The fact is the media is going to bash Trump no matter what he says. They are trying to control his speech just as they would control speech by all of us with their PC and redefining of definitions.
Yes. Poor baby.

Since when has any president or candidate not had a long list of enemies and people attempting to topple them over ?,,, part of the game darling. Can you hang, Senor Trump?

Just stating the obvious. But sure, you're in that bunch that would much rather lap up the MSM and other left wing b@st @rdized and otherwise fabricated versions of Trump's words because its much more fun for you too, to hurl them as weapons instead of finding out for yourself what the man actually said. Why am I not surprised?

Nah, one just has to run tape of Trump's words and listen.

And every time he comes up with a name for any of his opponents, his supporters soon start using it also. He started calling Hillary, Crooked Hillary and they soon take that up, Lyin Ted, low energy Jeb. If he comes out with a new nickname today, they will jump on it right away.

Sarcasm? Since you didn't bother to provide your revelation about the real founders of ISIS to the press, you can't really blame them for not reporting it.

I imagine Trump didn't eject that baby from the rally either -- it was the media.

Trump's message and Trump are one of the same. Trump flag-bearers try to disassociate Trump's embarrassing messages from Trump but they can't. The two are connected at the jaw.

It takes a special kind of Kool-Aid drinker to try to convince others that Trump isn't responsible for the disqualifying messages their candidate pronounces.
I agree with you in general, although I was specifically responding to the post that people who are anti-trump are not interested in secure borders, jobs, etc. Any of trump's good messages are entirely overshadowed by the bad messages that he spews out constantly. The trump followers never seem to have gotten the message that there are others who would work to do things like secure the border, improve vetting of immigrants, create jobs - without the horrendous baggage that trump carries around.

I was a Trump supporter at the beginning. Trump hasn't needed the media to taint my overall opinion of him. I have distrusted Hillary from the start.

The media is biased both ways depending on who you listen to. I might as well be voting for either of these two:
