2016 Postmortem

<...>
Now The Donald is escalating his debate phobia with suggestions that he will not participate unless his demands are met. Foremost among them is the authority to veto any moderator that he disapproves of (or more accurately, fears). So this may be a good time to take a look at who might satisfy Trumps litmus test.
Who Does Trump Hate Today?
First of all, no one who works for CNN or MSNBC need apply. Trump has not consented to an interview on CNN since June 13, or on MSNBC since May 20. Just this morning he tweeted that Constant phony reporting from failing @CNN turns everyone off. Whats more, he has had a devastating falling out with his old pal on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough, who just penned an op-ed calling for the Republican Party to jettison their candidate.
The broadcast networks are out also, Trump has been flinging his juvenile nickname at the host of NBCs Meet the Press for months. He calls him Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd and labeled Todd as totally biased against him. Trump wrote off ABCs George Stephanopoulos as a good friend of the Clintons. Scott Pelley of CBS was deemed disrespectful.
So you may be thinking that this leaves Fox News. Not so fast. Trump has burned just about everyone on the network with the notable exception of their Senior Trump Fluffer, Sean Hannity. Trump said of Megyn Kelly that she is the worst and has a terrible show. He called Karl Rove a total fool and a biased dope. He said George Will is a broken down political pundit and boring. Chris Stirewalt was deemed one of the dumbest political pundits on television. Trump laughed off Charles Krauthammer as a totally overrated clown, a loser, and a dummy. And wrapping up the whole network for his disapproval, he tweeted that he was having a really hard time watching Fox News. Then he called on his followers to boycott the network.
Other prominent news outlets that Trump has sworn off (literally revoking the press credentials of most) include the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Huffington Post, Fusion, and Univision.

#LoserDonald can't stop whining and crying about how the press is biased and unfair. Oh, and the election is sure to be rigged. What a buffoon. When you won the primary, was that rigged, too? Do you ever make any sense, or is the the whole world just anti-Trump?
Maybe your mouth is out to get you and your stupid brain is rigged! Or maybe the reason everyone hates you and the reason you're consistently polling under 40% is because you totally friggin' SUCK!!
