Dan Rather, former "CBS Evening News" anchor, said Wednesday that Republican Donald Trump can win the presidency, and Democratic supporters of Hillary Clinton should be "very, very afraid."
"I'm not predicting [Trump] will win, but I will say he's capable of winning in November. He has a path," Rather told CNBC's "Squawk Box," adding he does not expect the real estate billionaire to bow to pressure to be more "presidential."
"Anybody who thinks Donald Trump is going to moderate himself along the way is either slightly 'touched' or 'smoking something very expensive.' It's not going to happen," said Rather, currently host of "The Big Interview" on AXS TV.
"My own opinion again," Rather said, "Democrats who want Hillary Clinton to be president should be afraid. They should be very, very afraid."
Counting himself among the offenders, Rather said the media concentrates too much on the horse race between presidential candidates, and not enough on the substance of their proposals to change the country.
AXS TV describes itself as a partnership between founder Mark Cuban, AEG, Ryan Seacrest Media, Creative Artists Agency and CBS.
Rather left CBS in 2006 after a story he did for the program "60 Minutes" about the National Guard service of then-President George W. Bush was questioned over alleged failures in reporting procedures.
Such wise words from the king of fake but accurate journalism.
Dan Blather? Wasn’t he once some kind of journalist? No, I guess not..... more of a propagandist.....
Some fear from the fake journalist..he fits perfectly with the rat party, a fake party and a fake journalist
Can Obama and Hillary pray and prevent some event(s) between now and Nov, none of us can predict?
Yeah ... and he’s got the documents to prove it ...
“Counting himself among the offenders, Rather said the media concentrates too much on the horse race between presidential candidates, and not enough on the substance of their proposals to change the country.”
He’s right, but for the WRONG REASON.
The reason they talk about the horse race, rather than the ideas, is that Trump will CLEAN HILLARY’S CLOCK if they start discussing issues. That’s why they ALWAYS prefer to talk the ‘horse race’ when the Republican brings fresh ideas.
WHATS THE FREQUENCY DAN ??
Who the hell wrote that sentence, the Department of Obfuscation?
How about "was demonstrated to be a fraud."
“Counting himself among the offenders, Rather said the media concentrates too much on the horse race between presidential candidates…”
Start spreading the news.
It’s over Dan. (the) Creator [Trump] beat favorite (the) Exaggerator [Hillaryous] in New York on Saturday.

It’s up to you New York, New York.
The old gray mare finishes up the track, Blather…jackass.
That's quite a typo. Here's a corrected version:
Rather was terminated from CBS after his "60 Minutes" segment "For the Record" was exposed as a dishonest effort to influence the 2004 presidential election by using fraudulent documents to attack the National Guard service of then-President George W. Bush.
The full story is here.
That’s fake but accurate, right?
Maybe he has secretly jumped into the caboose on the Trump Train?
Lyin King.
No, I think the secret caboose jumper is Ebola.
Kinda sounds like he's projecting.
We know the libs would love to retaliate against all conservatives.
I think Blather is projecting his/liberals desire for Hillary to backlash on Trump supporters, by inferring that's what Trump will do.
Trump has already been quite presidential. Just compare his responses to the recent terror attacks, as compared to that of the current place holder in the White House. In a comparison of presidentiality, the White House occupant doesn't hold a candle to Trump's brilliance.
Even “fake but true” doesn’t believe the MSM pimps and whores and their phony polls!!!
Oh, rats. Trump’s win is doomed.
