Just Stop Broadcasting The Rallies For God's Sake.

The media just needs to quit showing up to these rallies. And so should the reporters. You are going to get attacked and will end up being used as a target at the rallies.

Then let the bastard complain all he wants. All you are doing is enabling the hateful bastard.

Showcase his insanity. Don't let anyone in this country think it's behind him (or us). Even if it means just a few people finally realize it after all this time, that's a good thing.

Having his insanity widely broadcast also forces journalists to keep asking elected Republicans about his state of mind and fitness for office. If the media stops showing the rallies, those questions stop. Cold. Not sure why anyone would want to give elected Repubs a path out of this.

In any case, they're not going to stop.

That's at least half of how he got elected in the first place.

There will be enough abberrant behavior in his official acts as president to keep us from forgetting abotu how awful he is, without showcasing his campaign rallies.

At least we'll have all the material to use against him, as well as those who stand by him.

to verify what a dangerous, crazy idiot he really is. It benefits us in showing how unfit he is for office and his approval ratings continue to drop.

There should be a TV news blackout on his rallies. After they're over, the networks and papers should dispassionately summarize what occurred and focus on correcting the torrent of lies.

Both the nation and the world needs to see what this virulent man and his racist worshipers are really are. We need to see it again, and again, and again...and for ever how long it takes for this nation to wake up and rid itself of this pestilence.
