Trump Plays The Media

If Trump wins this election, the Media will be partly to blame. Trump uses the media to stoke the fires of the irrationals who make up his base of supporters. Trump knows that even bad publicity is good publicity. Unfortunately, the bulk of Trump supporters do not respond to Reason. They agree with the heinous things that Trump says and implies. So reporting the heinous stuff stokes his base.

Trump will lie and change positions at the drop of the hat just so he, the Great Narcissist, can be elected. And that election is a real possibility, I hate to admit. Anyway, Hillary uses reason to counter Trump, but reason does not work on the core of irrational Trump followers.

If only Hillary could better tap into the outrage against Trump. I am a former Sanders supporter, but I fully support Hillary now. Trump needs to be stopped, and the Media needs to stop feeding this guy's campaign with tons of free coverage for his verbal gaffes and crimes.
