Cannot believe it

There is an hour long infommercial on tRump on MSNBC...what the hell...if I were Bernie or HRC I'd be pissed. Giving this racist and xenophobic asshole free press for an hour special is seriously wrong.

Every single one of the GOP clowns and all the Democratic candidates should insist on hour long programs of their own lives.

Though my husband watched most of the Trump thing and he said it did not give a very favorable impression of Trump overall. Of course he did not have a good opinion of Trump to start with so he is biased.

News stations don't have to give equal time and wouldn't if they could. First of all equal time is having 15 Repugs get the time since he is same party and its the primary. The only time this would be unfair to Democratic Party is the general. And the Clintons have a movie coming out September or October 2016 so there will be plenty of focus on Hillary as the democratic nominee during the general.

I agree it's all about ratings. Bernie may be right but he's not as titillating as the schlong-schlinger :p

I won't watch the special. I already have a well-formed opinion of the man.

trying to hold the ball and run out the clock before people know and love Bernie. This ain't about Trump . It is about deflecting the public's attention from the real issues Bernie is raising to a really scary republican. Great show, I think they got the idea from the roman games which were intended to keep people from focusing on their real issues.
