The MSM is spending too much time on phony Hillary issues. It is interesting that they are NOT hounding Trump about all his business dealings and tax returns. Their tactics are just another way of trying to support a crazy candidate who would destroy this country and make even Bush look good.
Even as Trump trashes the MSM and only goes to Fox news in so many ways they seem to be coddling him. They want a close election. Virtually all of the bad news about Bill and Hillary being not trust worthy is just plain manufactured bullshit and always has been.

The state of news in America has never been in worse shape. Reports have nothing to do with issues, where people stand on those issues, and how it will impact Americans. Instead, the medium has evolved into a gossip, entertainment tonight reality show

(7,812 posts)Trump's hair or tweet is a lost opportunity to talk about how Trump's terrible ideas and tactics are really the same as what the gop has been doing for decades, this time just wrapped up in orange gift wrap. Polarization, hate, fear, deception, ignoring science and facts, paternalistic authoritarianism, etc....such an easy case to make....such a horrendous gop record of obstructionism, quotes, bad policies, low tactics...let's bundle them all up together and expose the party for what it is. Unless we do that, there will be another Trump, another Palin, more Hannitys, more extremism, more irresponsible governing, more 24/7 horserace discussion instead of issues discussion.
It's not Trump...it's the gop.

Republicans keep stories alive for months, years!
And sadly, we just let things slide after a day or two.
Trump urging a a foreign adversary to commit espionage against America and calling for the assassination of Hillary Clinton. Let's just forget those things ever happened.
Back to Hillary's Emails! Benghazi! The Clinton Foundation!

(17,199 posts)When Republicans are interviewed on cable news shows, it doesn't matter if they are being asked to discuss unemployment, taxes, or their favorite color ... they know to get in a shot about the Emails, or Benghazi, or the foundation. They always try and often succeed in steering the discussion to those issues.
Perseverance.
When will we learn?
