Now the media is "rigged." He's a loser. Anything that doesn't go his way is "rigged." They report on what he says. He said Obama was the creator is isis. They covered it. He then said he was being sarcastic. They covered that. Then he well on to say, nah, I was serious. The media treats him as he is supposed to be treated. He's a candidate with zero policy. He has zero direction on how he will accomplish anything. His entire campaign is because of the media. He would be an afterthought if it wasn't for the media. Maybe the media should ignore him. Don't cover him. Don't give him a second of airtime. Let him completely burn. I'd love that.
The corrupt media went back and time and made it look like Obama wasn't the one who invaded Afghanistan in 2003.
The leaked emails prove to me that the DNC was going to shove Hillary down America's throat, no matter what. Sanders supporters know that the election was rigged, and the media was complicate in rigging it. Bernie never stood a chance.
Lastly, the media has nearly always supported Democrat politicians over Republicans. Why anyone would dispute this is beyond me.

She's a moron and fits right in with Trump. This isn't the first time she has zero clue, or care, about facts. The whole Trump camp care very little about facts.
"Afghanistan was Obama's war." How stupid can one be? It's just so intellectually dishonest and camp Trump, and the supporters, just don't care. They cafe nothings it facts. None at all.
Yea the strategy in a vacuum seems sound. With so many people caring only about a sound bites and also being loud and a bit offensive speaks to an unfortunate many. However, I do think he's taken it way too far, I mean there is a point where he really should have totally just lost all people not white and women. As well, the stuff that has come out about him not paying debts and instead and even taking his debters to court can only hurt his brand in the long run. I just don't see the lengths he's gone too making very much sense.
I want to say that he is still in the running because of people who will vote republican no matter what...
But then....
Nope people are just f***ing dumb.
I'm also more of an observer like you. I just see Trump as incredibly dangerous, similar like when the Brexit vote passed and it gave people over there the feeling of justification and right to harass people of different descents.
Now it's Obama and Hillary's fault for Trump saying stupid things. Good ol' Fox News. Must watch video because at 4:50 someone at Fox finally has the balls to say it like it is.

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): You're turning him into a spoiled child. He can rely on you guys to explain, isn't it exhausting to explain?

"And what you've seen is a concerted effort, really -- it's like the most unholy partnership of all time between the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton, constantly making comments trying to bait Trump into saying something that will sidetrack him"
Of course the DNC was favoring Hillary, their job is to get Democrats elected and the person they felt had the best chance of helping get other Democrats elected was Hillary. She could raise more money and appeal to more independent voters. Do I see this as some big conspiracy to rob Bernie? No. She had a vast swath of Super delegates already anyways and still managed to win a lot more states than Bernie. The DNC didn't sway the primary election in Hillary's favor. And before I'm accused of being a shill for Hillary...I voted for Bernie in the primary and plan on voting for Gary Johnson in the general.
This race would be ten times closer if Trump had just kept his mouth closed the last month or so. Honestly, every time there was negative news about Hillary he would open his mouth and steal the negative spot light away from what should have been a bad day for her. He's his own worst enemy and he still doesn't realize it. He can blame the media all he wants but he keeps loading the gun with ammunition for them to use. The bottom line is, he failed to realize that the message he used to win the primary wouldn't work with independents.
Most Presidential candidates tend to attempt to move towards the center after a primary, Trump doubled down on his message and it turned millennials, women, and minorities off. Its got to be super frustrating for moderate Republicans to watch this guy destroy their party's reputation. But, you reap what you sow...the Conservative press has been pushing their base towards more and more extreme positions the past eight years and that allowed for someone with a message like Trumps to capitalize on the hate and fear they pushed.

Fox News drills the dumbest woman in camp Trump. I don't know how people live with themselves being so intellectually dishonest. He doesn't want to release his tax returns because it will expose him either paying nothing in taxes or showing his wealth is a fraction of what he claims. He's a coward.
I don't really understand the whole not releasing taxes thing. Who gives a s*** if he releases his taxes?
Oh because he's probably hiding his money somewhere else in order to get out of paying taxes? Guess what, if I was a billionaire I'd do the same thing.

I doubt there is anything all that bad in his taxes but when you are hiding something of course people will be curious what that is
I think it's kind of pointless, but since all presidential candidates have been doing it for decades, it's now the norm. More importantly for this specific case, Trump in 2012 said that Romney needed to release his tax returns.
On the other hand, to be fair to the candidate, a 180 degree turn from four years ago is still a much more consistent position than many.
It's because it will expose him as someone who is exactly who he claims he's against. It will show he paid no taxes. It will show his claims about his wealth to greatly exaggerated. It will show he has ties to entities outside of the United States. He's hiding stuff. There's no doubt about it.
You don't see the problem with a guy running for president using loopholes in the tax code to not pay his fair share, all while campaigning that corporations and the rich should pay their fair share?
He's campaigning that because that's what Americans want to hear. He doesn't care.

Secret Ledger in Ukraine Lists Cash for Donald Trump’s Campaign Chief
KIEV, Ukraine — On a leafy side street off Independence Square in Kiev is an office used for years by Donald J. Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, when he consulted for Ukraine’s ruling political party. His furniture and personal items were still there as recently as May.
And Mr. Manafort’s presence remains elsewhere here in the capital, where government investigators examining secret records have found his name, as well as companies he sought business with, as they try to untangle a corrupt network they say was used to loot Ukrainian assets and influence elections during the administration of Mr. Manafort’s main client, former President Viktor F. Yanukovych.
Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.

I look love Japan! (I liked the food in Tokyo more than Osaka, contrary to popular opinion) enjoy!
Take us some happy snaps!
Ive seen door handles that are more educated than her... but I do like the necklace. I've got a belt that's similar. She's obviously a tool to give the Trump supporters boners.Who goes on TV wearing a bullet necklace?
"Look at her dad, she has bullets and is a woman! Cam you buy her for me, before they put her on the other side of the wall!?"
The dude has attempted (,and lost) to sue Forbes and Fortune magazine, for stating that he isn't a billionaire.
He relies on appearing to be wealthier than he is, to be successful. Obviously he'll never release his tax returns. There'd be so much dodge stuff in it, Wesley Snipe's would be shocked.
Maybe we should put Robert Mann on that chart and see how he adds up.One of these things is not like the others.....

He's just trying to make his hands grow bigger.
