The media is destroying him and protecting Hillary. They could destroy her too if they wanted but choose to take it easy on her.
 
Anyone have that "increasingly nervous man" gif handy?

Edit: Never mind, got it covered.

It's is strange. Certainly will give ammo to the CTers that Trump was a plant so HiLIARy can win.

WTF happened? He briefly held a lead after the GOP convention, got leapfrogged following the DNC, went on an absolute rampage of media blunders and inaccuracies.

It's almost hard to believe he even got nominated, and yet here we stand a couple weeks after he had a lead and the election looks all but lost. Hillary looks like someone who knows they've got this locked up and is just in cruise control now.

When the media ignores glaring issues about Hillary or the Obama administration and focus on insignificant headlines like "Who eats KFC with a fork?" (about Trump) "Trump calls Hillary the Devil, (when Sanders did the same and not a peep), "Trump kicks baby out of rally" then how do you combat that?

There is a big story out there that the media is ignoring about the Obama administration handing Iran (The biggest state supporters of terror) 400 million for hostages and the media largely ignored it. Trump then makes a mistake about a video that he saw (on purpose to get attention to the ignored story???) and then Trump's "mistake?" is all over the headlines.
 
media going turbo on Trump to hide from dirty hands ala DNC leaks. They all have their hands dirty.
 
All things considered, I think when it was reported that Trump was leading in the polls, a lot of Americans woke up to the reality of the situation. Like "Wait a second here. We're really gonna do this? Shit, this ain't a game anymore.". I think it scared people a bit.

I don't think Trump is done, but I think Americans are starting to take him a bit more seriously, and are scrutinizing him more than they have.

Any idea when they're going to do that with Hillary's campaign? I mean, at the moment how Trump eats chicken is front page news to a greater degree than the WikiLeaks e-mail scandal.

LOL! You guys are getting increasingly pathetic here. You can at least lose with dignity.

Shutup already about Iran being biggest terrorism supporters , you don't know anything about Iran besides what you read on Fox News.
 
Well, we need to wait for the next round of leaked e-mails.

lmao hes a victim? this is the F'ing man who made fun of a handicapped person on camera. you cant spin that. this isnt the liberal media's fault.

this whole time, hes used the media to get attention with the wild shit he says. now that hes in a general election, it just isnt working anymore. i for one, am still not convinced that he ever really wanted to be pres. he was probably as surprised by his nomination as anyone else.

Is it wrong? Most terror is sunni but it's not directly supported by sunni states themselves but private citizens(of course that is a way to deflect blame but it works). Well, in some ways you could also say the US is the biggest supporter of terrorism, together with Russia. But taking the most accepted definition of terrorism, which includes Hezbollah, the prize goes to Iran.

I don't know? Ask them.

I'm not defending Hillary in the slightest, or the media's clear bias in favor of her. You can check my history in the other threads, in case you think I'm just taking a dig at Trump. I just think that for a lot of people, Trump was kind of symbol of protest to the status quo, but I'm not sure how serious everyone is about making him President. I don't think it was the Khan thing, or any other shit he's done that stopped his momentum. I just think the situation got real, and people aren't sure if they want to really commit to it.

Um, if you say so...

BTW, what do you like about Jill Stein?

Are you going to actually believe a word I say about which policies of hers I support, or is this going to be like the Bernie Sanders thing where I can outline why I support him multiple times and you’ll come back at me with “nope, still a Trump supporter”?

To that point, I think that meme was originally intended to represent how other REPUBLICANS felt about his candidacy.

A lot of dems were excited to get Trump in there, myself included because we thought this would happen. I just didn't think it would happen this quickly or spectacularly
