Hillary just clinched one vote!

Mine!

You know what I find deplorable?

John McCain nominating Palin as his VP.

McCain saying he knew how to get Bin Laden, but he wouldn't tell until his election and the media never calling him out on his unpatriotic behavior.

The majority of Republican leaders getting together on Obama's inauguration night and vowing to make him a one term President. Deplorable at any time in history, completely unacceptable when the Country was in its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the media let it slide.

Questioning Obama's place of birth, fringe at first, but then the vast majority of Republicans jumped on the band wagon. An immoral position that should have been left to the fringe nuts, when seventy percent of Republicans support it, then I am fine with 50% of them being labeled deplorable. Seems like Hillary gave 20% of them a pass.

Republicans blocking funding of the Government based upon the debt. A debt they ran up, thus causing more harm.

Republicans blocking confirmation hearings, across the board, and then finally a SC Justice.

A Republican nominee that is racist, ignorant, and completely unqualified to hold the office of the President of the United States. The Republican voters could have stopped him, and didn't, the elected Republicans could have stopped him, and didn't.

Republicans making comments that Obama is the worst President ever, when in fact the worst President ever to be elected to two terms was his predecessor. There is no logical person who could look at the state of the Country in September 2016 as compared to 2008 and say things were better in 2008.

So, if they are offended by Hillary's comments, good! Their hatred and ignorance has and continues to offend me.

From the posts today it appears the media turned

From the 24x7 Trump infomercial to occasionally fact checking and calling out the B.S.

Look, they are people, they take their kids to school, have to shop, only so much insulation they have in the bubble. To add, they are gutless corporate whores.

So, they need to mix with the non politicians on occasion, and I think they know they collectively went too far last night. Matt is left twisting in the wind. Tough, the collective outrage should continue to rain down upon them for the creation of Trump.

first five minutes positive for Dems, next thirteen minutes are devoted to all things Trump. Bernie continues to speak with no sound as the replay Trump/Pence shaking hands. Was going to make this a neutral story but they are trying to make Trump look Presidential by looping the same 20 seconds of footage, OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE NEWS!

Numerous threads over the past week on GD & GDP all based upon the media.

I turned on CNN/Jake Tapper he references this poll, http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/09/clinton-trounces-trump-new-poll-latino-voters then goes on to say Hillary has a problem with Hispanics, high unfavorable ratings.


So Trump polling at a level that Mitt hit, which resulted in a landslide, is bad news for Clinton.

Look, they aren't even trying to hide it. If is it because of corporate masters or just trying to make it a race, doesn't matter.

It doesn't even come near an acceptable level of journalism. We need to figure out a way to stop this. For some reason the Clinton campaign isn't pushing back hard enough, same mistake Kerry made. Obama hit back, successfully in most cases, and most of the BS stories only lingered on at Fox.
