Shep Smith goes off on Trump over debate performance and almost ‘fascist’ jail line

1. Almost? Baby, that line's been stepped over. nt.

2. Smith has always been the closest thing Faux has to an objective talent

But it is pretty clear from this dialog that Faux has some concern that Trump is coming for the Faux franchise.

I wouldn't get overly concerned about that because Trump has screwed up everything he has ever done. Name one lasting success Trump has had. Trump U? Trump steaks? Hit real estate that he keeps taking into bankruptcy? Seriously, what has he actually succeeded at other than being a world class con artist?

3. lol "What does he do with his base, give them a media network?"

said an (occasionally ok) anchor on FOX NEWS

5. It was precisely as a Clinton attack machine that FOX NEWS attained success

Now Donald and his new friends from FOX (Roger Ailes) and Breitbart will launch a new network that will be based on a Hillary Clinton attack machine model.

Trump once said that he thought someone smart enough could make a profit by running for President. At this point, to him, winning does not mean becoming President. Where is the profit in that? Winning is becoming the guy who is cheated out of the Presidency by "Crooked Hillary" and liberal media and who starts his own network telling the truth to his disenfranchised, victimized, ignorant disciples.

He can ride out at least four years attacking Hillary and probably a Democratic Senate, if not a Democratic Congress. And, yeah, a liberal Supreme Court. The outrage industry cannot profit without a steady slate of targets to be outraged about.

This is a true Psychopath who will divide, degrade, and damage his own country to turn a profit, to be a star, to have more power.

Watch for it. It is the religious cult scam without the religion.

4. The writing is on the wall that FOX "News" days are numbered.

6. They're too big not to adjust, however maybe he is the advance pointer that the adjustment is going

to happen. Trump won't take all of the 40% with him, many are just Clinton haters, but it has huge potential to devastatingly split the GOP. If the Democrats could just get the house/senate and White House, it would certainly start a civil war within the Repubs.

7. Once Rupert kicks it's gone....

The Board at the entertainment division (21st Century Fox) considers it not only an embarrassment but a liability because every time one of FOX "News" deplorables opens their chili hole their latest movie faces a boycott.
