lol, the news networks are plastered with almost nothing but Trump sexual scandal alegations. Ok so weeks before the election NOW they come up with this.....lol

Any idiot can see it is a war on Trump by a biased media to help Clinton get elected. They don't even have to prove the accusations just plant the seed of propaganda in people's heads....so they think.

Totally true. The lamestream media is so obviously biased tremendously in favor of Clinton that nobody can deny it. They don't even try to hide how lopsided in favor of her they are. Never in modern times has it been this lopsided, and with such a lowbrow witch hunt of pettyness. CNN may as well be TMZ.

Since the mainstream media is owned by and FOR the rich establishment globalist interests(read: NOT the average person) then why should we the people listen to them and elect their candidate?

This alone, is a solid reason for John and Jane Doe to vote for Trump. The mainstream media has never before been distrusted by this many Americans...and come election day we'll show them that we want what they don't want.

Bill Bennett wrote about it back in 2015.


The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

But there’s one man who isn’t beholden to anyone. There’s one man who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher’s union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

And he threatens all of them.

We are the free nation, remember. We don't need a dictator. And there was nothing wrong with the good old boys club because they actually comprised. And do you know who the lobbyists are. Eric Cantor got voted out of congress and now makes millions as a lobbyist. This is where our congress members go when they are voted out.

That's a narrow view. What do lobbyists lobby for? Certainly not for the American people. We've been on that path. Is that the path you want to continue?

Compromise is good if it's done for the good of the nation. Not if it's done behind closed doors or otherwise, couched as "working across the aisle" implying that it's a noble accomplishment for the good of the nation. The 'good old boys' are working for 'the good old boys' and we all know it.

Enough already!

Our nation and it's documents were founded with clear intention. The intent was NOT for a self elected group of people to run things. We've clearly killed that idea.

Understand this, this election is being run by a self elected group of people, not WE THE PEOPLE but a group of people who, over the years have gained power by $$$$$$, misinformation and control of what the american people see,hear and read.

We are now seeing all this work come to fruition, more blatant than ever before in the history of our nation.
This should scare the snot out of people and anger them beyond belief but instead, many are lapping it up like it's their last meal.
All is good as long as they've got their latest tech gadget, Dancing with the Stars is still on and gas is cheap.

There's too much heat (and hot air) and not enough action with substance. And all of it costs way too much money.

Trump has a past. He knew it when he signed up. He also has no self control. One thing everyone knows is that when you sign up for an office you are scrutinized by everybody. Skeletons will come out of the woodwork. Trump should have known this. His true feelings were captured on the hot mike with Billy Bush. It came out of his mouth and I believe it. It wasn't locker room talk. He practices it. Then he lies about it. If this is what you want for President... Good Luck....

Trump from the get go has been waging a smear campaign and character assassination strategy against Hillary Clinton now all of a sudden he's upset at the outing of his sexual predatory practices and calling it a smear campaign against him.
Gee Don if you cant stand the heat get out of the fire!.
