The media wants Trump to win, of course for ratings. They just pretend that Trump is offensive, because they are clueless. Trump doesn't offend anyone. People loves when he shoots his mouth off. It's entertaining.
We have a president obama, who always thinks before he speaks. Where has that gotten anyone? |

Nobody crafts a sentence like Obama. He is so careful about what he says.
But Obama watches baseball games with the Castros while American citizens are being mopped off an airport floor.
Obama thinks it's a good idea to bring in more Syrian refugees even after the European disaster.
I will take my chances with Trump.

Come on buc - the media including Fox is owned by the establishment. There is no way Murdock wants Trump to win especially given it's falling ratings due to Fox pushing establishment candidates since day 1 - Christie, Fiorina, JEB, Rubio, the disaster of the debates and Megan Kelley. They would rather a Hillary win than a Trump win. One of the only Trump supporters is Eric Bolling on the Five.
The media did not make him into a contender. Rather Trump used the media to garner free airtime. |

The stuff they come up with is SO stupid. Reminds of a junior high school student attitude and best dealt with in the same manner, shake your head and just move on. 
Trump 2016!  |
I don't know what alter universe that you live in but the only one embarrassing themselves, although it appears that Trump isn't self-aware enough to recognize it is Trump! The media start these infantile twitter wars that Trump has engaged in. It isn't the media that has invented the SO stupid and embarrassing speeches, policy statements and just really, really dumb remarks that have come out of Trump's mouth. That's all Trumps doing. |

I think what you meant to say is there isn't anyone Trump doesn't offend.
Trump has been the one who makes sure he keeps his name in the news day in and day out. He purposely makes outrageous statements because he knows it will be covered, and then he himself goes to the networks to get on air and make sure to keep it on top of the news.
As one veteran producer said, “He’ll throw a hand grenade in, and then will come to us to talk about it.”

If there is Trump fatigue starting to set in--and I believe there is--it's all Trump's own doing. |

I've listened to Trump speak many times and often I agree with what he says and think he does "get it" but what I find interesting is that many people and the media are astonished he has even said some of the things he has said as they are so un-PC.
Stupid... I wouldn't say much that comes from Trump is stupid.. but I will say he is vague on many policy issues but as I've said before I'd rather have vagueness than out right empty fals promises like what we've had from both sides for decades.
This recent abortion issue is another spin on something taken out of context and simply being used to attack Trump. The question is simple "IF" abortion is illegal and that means against the law and a women has one then Trump was asked if the woman should be held responsible or partially guilty and he said yes. I agree because the woman would have knowingly broken the law along with any doctor who preformed it, however if abortion is legal then its a non-issue.
If all the people who don't want a wall think thats a good idea then why do they support having passports, border crossing points, immigration laws and all the other "Police" things we have in place? As Trump simply questions "Do we or do we not have laws?" if we don't then we don't need a border wall but if we do have laws and immigration and check points then we need to enforce those laws and secure the border and build a wall to help enforce the laws.

No just plain old fashioned stupid.
If you support Trump that is your right. If what he says and how he says it resonates with you, well its America. |

OMG - Trump is so offensive. I can't believe that Lewendowski video. I have to kick my teen aged sons out of the room, when the video comes on.
OMG - Trump retweeted a man calling Megyn a bimbo. The horror of it all!!! This is so dangerous and may get Americans killed.
OMG - I know abortion will never ever be banned in America. But Trump said he would punish women, then 10 minutes later took it back. How offensive. Such shocking behavior by a president.
He should be more like Obama. Answer hypothetical questions about abortion. Obama is so presidential. He is doing such a great job. All the world leaders respect him so much lol.
What is really offensive is Hillary's email scandal. Obama doing the tango. Give me a break. Obama is lecturing Americans about Islamaphobia the day after Belgium, and Trump is offensive for calling Rosie a fat pig?
Give me a break !!
