Just Once!

I’d like a member of the MSM when interviewing a typical person on the street or at a rally or random park...who states... they "Don’t Trust Hillary” A simple followup question.

SPECIFICALLY ...Why do you not trust her? And actually follow through with a..."You realize that what you just said is just simply not true” and explain...

Ah, I’m just dreaming.. Never in a million years will that happened

"This raises troubling questions..." or, "This casts a shadow over the campaign..."

They always imply she did something wrong but they never have any actual evidence of wrongdoing. It's SO frustrating!

THEN after they do this for months and months, they report "Polls show that Clinton still has a problem with trustworthiness." Well, no fucking wonder!!! They never have a smoking gun, but they always report her "scandals" like they're on the verge of finding a bombshell.

MSNBC Today...on now....Discussing all Republican responses to Email Notes Released Story..

When you actually read the notes.. They basically infer that it just is not that big of a deal.

The way MSNBC is parroting Republican Responses is disgusting..Same theme... she is not to be trusted with vital national security Info.....Pure bullshit.

makes me sick.

It is bad for your psychological, intellectual and emotional development and sanity.

Go for a walk, watch a baseball game, practice tai chi, even sleeping is better.
