it may dawn on them that they'd have to live under a Trump-infested regime as well.
And who does Trump despise as much as Mexicans and Muslims... Journalists.

Hey Chuck, how's a nice Gulag sound to you?

Chuck Todd should be just fine. He's as much a journalist as Dan Akroyd was on Weekend Update.

16. Actually, little Chuckie is an improvement over David Gregory.

Please allow me to explain. Gregory was cleaqn shaven and Toddie has a beard & mustache, so while Gregory would only kiss the Republican/teabagger asses, Chuckie can give their asses a kiss with a little tickle.

PEACE!

Your feigned disbelief... He's been elevating any positive Trump news (is that even a thing??) and harped on every Clinton negative...he's guilty to the core...

Now do something about it! There does seem to be more & more articles about the uneven treatment of Clinton/Trump and how the bar is lower than dirt for Trump. The CIC was hopefully a window into what his debate performance will be like and those disasters will be a GOTV mantra along with the MSM no longer being able to stay with their horse race narrative.

Your post sounds good but I have no idea what Chuckie is panting about. I gave up cable. Thanks.

the candidates are tied in the polls. Google eyed that some republicans are backing his comments about Putin. Agrees that if it were Hillary or Obama saying these things, they would be ridden out on a rail.

Generally in disbelief.

Sigh.

I keep hoping that some of these fools like Chuckie who up until now, have had fun playing their sick game will wake up and realize what they're doing before it's too late. They have the power to change the narrative and bring Trump down if they choose. Will they?

The promotion of Trump by the corporate media started last summer. That's why he won the Republican nomination.

for shits and giggles – and then they're SHOCKED when the polls show she's going down again.

WTF did they think would happen? Why does the media act like they don't have a huge influence over the American voting public? They don't want to take responsibility for their words and actions.

Most Americans get their info from MSM. Whatever message they hear is the message they'll believe.

Corporate America wakes up and realizes that the life of the 1%ers under the lunatic Donald Trump is likely to be as disasterous as the lives of ordinary Americans. When they realize that the financial life of their corporate conglomerates are about to be ruined by the malpractice of their M$M holdings.

Maybe then they will try to stop this horseshit "horse race" meme.

that they need to control the message... Suddenly they are all pounding on Trump with a BIG club to tone him down, not that I mind that, but do they think we don't see the game?
