There are very valid reasons why more than 50% of the country (and the majority of the media) are extremely wary about what his term may bring.
Any GOP president-elect to be inaugurated tomorrow would have the liberal-biased MSM in an uproar; whining, crying, and having two-year old childish temper tantrums. It's not Trump, it's the simple fact that it's not a democrat being inaugurated.

Its true. Don't forget, Romney was a misogynist, racist, greedy, unqualified candidate a few years ago, but then all of a sudden when he came out against Trump, the media couldn't get enough of him. Dems have to stop with their "The sky is falling" act (aka everyone is racist) when they are running for office.

Is the mainstream media ever going to get something right about Trump?

Sorry, it's turning me from listening to anything not at least ambivalent about Trump, for mainstream media that means Fox News. It's sad not to listen to other news sources, but they aren't news, they are DNC propaganda machines. It's time for them to admit what they are, and to stop claiming the title journalist.
what you are clearly misunderstanding is that people on the otherside believe that Fox should be pulled off the air because it is a propaganda tool of the Murdoch family.

Many would ask, why is a foreign group allowed to own the USA's largest and most powerful news networks?

Fox, is owned by News Corp, which is owned by Murdoch , who has a very clear agenda to influence US politics.

As to the polls, most were within margin of error, but considering you only watch Fox, you most likely don't know or believe that, because Fox has been lying pretending that "all the polls" were wrong, when in fact what was wrong was the reporting of polls, that ignored margin of error or treated it like an after thought.

sorry mate, but you are making that up, Mitt was called a bunch of things by a bunch of people just as his opposition was.... after all Fox played up the whole birther thing for years, keeping it alive even though the KNEW it was BS...

that is not true.


when bush was inaugurated the dems were there in droves, I think maybe one or two did not show up but it was not a big deal.


Trump is different, he is profoundly stupid, he has stacked his cabinet with billionaires and placed wall street in charge of wall street and they openly stating they wish to remove the regulations put in place to prevent another implosion .

EPA has a dude who does not believe in global warming, I mean exactly who is disputing global warming these days, well apart from 0.01% of scientists who are highly paid to not believe...

Rex, is a joke! he practically lives in putin's butt. The whole point of Rex is to get that half trillion oil deal back up and running, exon is thrilled to see they now have a clear path back to Russia.

Devos, wants a voucher system ie she wants to strip monies from poorer areas and ship it to upper middle class families to subsidize their private schools. Thus your neighbors kids will not have a fair chance at life.

Jess Sessions, well I don't think I even need to get into that.


I am a dem these days, I used to vote Republican but over the last 15 years I have come to feel they no longer reflect my values.
I fully get that some dems are frothy at the mouth just as some republicans were frothy at the mouth when Obama won.

But the vast majority are absolutely fine, as long as the Republicans don't dismantle or break ACA, they will do ok. But should they take away the cheap ACA (75% pay less than 100 month btw) they will see themselves voted out like never before. People LOVE Obamacare. You may not but the vast majority do. (remember it was Mitt's plan Obama stole it , rebranded it and suddenly GOP hated it, before that it was on the books to do)

Murdoch created Fox News. He is entitled to own what he created. As to Fox News, some on Fox liked Obama, others not so much. Regardless Fox News was the only place to provide both real pro and con positions regarding Trump or Clinton.

So you are saying the left DIDN'T lambaste Romney for being all of those things? The Democrat playbook (see Jeff Sessions) is to call people racist, sexist or whatever in order to destroy them. Doesn't matter who they are its just the way they try to take people down, regardless of truth.

The birther thing has nothing to do with it, mate.
