The media is the biggest propaganda the GOP has.

And they continue to spin it as the librul media.

The 2016 elections certainly aren't going to be a popularity contest.

In fact, the current crop of White House hopefuls is among the least liked by voters in recent history, with many starting out with very high negative ratings.

Usually such numbers spell doom for candidates, but it's a problem across the board for this field — and a marked change from previous presidential cycles.

"This is a time when people are unhappy with politicians and Washington, and people feel frustrated," said Iowa-based pollster J. Ann Selzer. "The mood of the nation is negative."

It's not as juicy a story for them to discuss her easily beating everyone in the polls, so they think this will draw more eyeballs.

She used emails the same way repugs did.

She voted for the Iraq war the same way the repugs did.

Her unfavorable ratings are on a par with the repugs.

Her untrustworthy ratings are on a par with the repugs.

She tells fantasies about dodging sniper fire.

She claims to not understand what it means to wipe a server.

She won't reveal her position on the Keystone XL pipeline until after she becomes President.

She won't tell anyone her stance on TPP.

The list goes on and on.


If you want any of these things then you need to lower your standards. It is Hillary and she somehow deserves to be President even though she can't stand even mild scrutiny.
