So, the meeting with all those members of the press where they asked him questions, that wasn't a press conference?

It was on the news because he didn't take the question from CNN.

What kept that meeting with the media where he took questions from the press not a press conference?

The Polls came out Yesterday and Today, that over 70% of Americans have a LOW opinion of the Press, and CNN is the winner of that low spot. Don't post "FAKE News.

CNN did not give Hillary the questions. A democratic commentator did. If a commentator from the other side would have had the opportunity, they would have also. The paid commentators as, using a legal term, are hostile witnesses. They are on the side of their political orientation (i.e. parties), not the news organizations.

If Putin was responsible for the Hack at the DNC, I would thank him for it. Whoever did it, exposed just how crooked the DNC and the Hillary machine was, even to Bernie Sanders whom they called a "Doofus" and worked against him too. They gave us the knowledge in Truth, so we could all be informed Voters.

You folks need to worry more about your own Party, which is a wreck and totally dysfunctional, with no Leadership, no clear goal, and no direction. Its a Derelict Boat on the high Sea, with no Power, No Captain, and a Crew of Zombies with their heads exploding, that have no idea of what they are doing. Go fix that.
You've never been involved in politics, have you. The same stuff that was happening at the DNC goes on at the RNC. Before he got the nomination, many Republicans, in back rooms had very little good to say about Trump. The RNC did as much as they could to railroad him, since he was not a true Republican. Just like the DNC did to Independent Sanders.

For example, the controversial 'shower' dossier was started by the RNC, not the DNC

What meeting? The one on the 11th? Yes. That was a press conference. His last one was on 7/27/2016. 167 days. Like I said.

Apparently, he and you feel he can operate successfully as a lone wolf.

He can't.



Thanks for sharing.
The popular vote does not elect the president or is it how both candidates campaigned. Its irrelevant like the democrat party is now.

I think he will do just fine. He got elected with "powerful enemies within his own party", with the far left alienated and the MSM attacking him non-stop.

The same people saying the same nonsense during the whole campaign are still saying the same things, they were wrong then and they are wrong now.

Give your president a chance. America deserves it.

Row 3: AFP, USA Today, McClatchy, American Urban Radio Networks, Politico, Tribune, ABC Radio
Row 4: Foreign Pool, MSNBC, Wash Times, The Hill, Fox Radio, Voice of America, National Journal
Row 5: Bloomberg, TIME, NY Daily News, Hearst/SF Chronicle/Balt Sun, NY Post, Real Clear, Al-Jazeera/Chicago Sun
Row 6: Wash Examiner, YAHOO, Salem Radio, Media News Group/Daily Beast, Christian Science Monitor, Sirius, Dow Jones
Row 7: Talk Radio, Dallas Morning News, Roll Call, CBN, BBC/Boston Globe, Scripps/Buzzfeed, Financial Times/The Guardian

Note that some seats are shared between agencies. Another 30-60 stand.
Clearly this is an old media heavy group.

The first two rows:

8 on the left: NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, CBS RADIO, NPR, WASHINGTON POST, NY TIMES

2 on the right: FOX, WALL STREET JOURNAL

4 neutral: AP, REUTERS, BLOOMBERG, AP RADIO

The 4 neutral could easily be put on the left. I put them neutral because that have occasionally published balanced stories not totally against Trump.

Time to reassign the seats and balance things out.

How in the heck could Reuter and Bloomberg ever be described as leftist? And WSJ as conservative?!

I put Reuters and Bloomberg as neutral. WSJ is has a editorial side that is conservative. They host a show on Fox News with Paul Gigot is host of "The Journal Editorial Report" and the editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal. They have had positive stories about Trump.

So yes WSG is on the conservative side.

If you want to put WSG as neutral then we have a 9-1 liberal to conservative spread.

America will survive a Trump term.

He's out of his element.
