Sliming Trump

Now that Donald Trump is safely ensconced as the official Republican nominee for president, the mainstream media is running an intense around-the-clock operation to deprive him of the relatively unfiltered media exposure he needs to seal the deal with the American people. Trump being silly and playful in front of TV cameras or utilizing his sense of humor is cast as evidence of a disordered, antisocial mind. The media is focusing on minor benign details and marketing them as the evil deeds of an evil man.

U.S. elections have become a farce , totally corrupted by the Leftist media and deeply manipulative special interests . Now that the Left thinks they have control they will never let go . Even at the expense of our national future . Something else has to happen to stop this process from continuing . It has to happen soon . America can’t wait . We cannot just stand by and let the Left consolidate more power . If they do , we are lost . Act !

This is already starting to backfire. Hillary is hiding, they can’t cover that up forever.

MEDIA BIAS OF THE DAY: 8/4/2016

MEDIA BIAS OF THE DAY: MSNBC INEXPLICABLY SHOWS ANTI-TRUMP HEADLINES AFTER CUTTING AWAY FROM TRUMP RALLY

For seemingly no apparent reason, MSNBC today decided to cut away from Mr. Trump's rally in Portland, ME, and inexplicably filled the screen with anti-Trump headlines. As you can see from the screenshot below, MSNBC dropped any sense of impartiality today and went into full-blown, apoplectic attack mode. For this we award today's Media Bias of the Day honor to MSNBC.

I’m in Florida on a business trip. Saw a Hillary add last night. It was a bunch of kids sitting in front of the TV watching Trump outtakes. It was brutal. He’s been his own worst enemy and he needs to stop giving them material. Like it or not there are independents watching who vote on emotions and adds like that will leave a mark.

Right now, we are in early August, still summer vacation time with people being away. That also includes indy.

Do you think things are starting to backfire on the left?

[Biggirl]

Correction: indys.

The MSM, Left & GOPe have been doing this for over a year. They are so worried that he might win they are out to destroy him anyway they can.

The fact they are all in on this makes me want to support him even more.

I've noticed a range of "concern," from simple acknowledgement that Trump could do better (e.g., misspoke), to falling for a claim like "Trump keeps bringing up Khan," to total disparagement of the style of campaign. I challenged a poster yesterday on specific claims - the reply did not substantiate the poster's criticism. I may be wrong, but on that poster, I see troll. Maybe well-intentioned, maybe not, doesn't matter. Some people are hand-wringing pearl-clutchers by nature; others are working to distract.

The Democrat media’s job every election cycle is to try to destroy the Republican candidate so the Democrat will win, no matter how corrupt or un-American their candidate might be. They call it “vetting,” but they never “vet” the Democrat candidate like this. Our press allows no freedom of choice when voters want to choose a Republican for president.

I don’t think Wikileaks has much of an impact in this race. The average American will not be swayed by exposed emails and their eyes tend to glaze over when presented with all this information - which to many appear as crackpot and the stuff of conspiracy theory. How much traction did the JFK assassination theorists get? Most of America still believes Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman despite all the released evidence that points otherwise.

I believe in the end, Donald Trump will be elected resoundingly in November. Crooked Hillary is just too weak of a candidate and most f America are not satisfied with the status quo and business as usual. For all his “rough edges”, Trump is our first opportunity since Reagan to get somebody in the presidency who just might shake up the status quo and put America back on track. This is the message I believe America will send in November.

The biggest thing working against Trump right now are the hand-wringing sissies on our side of the fence who have a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome and show it by siding with the Democrats on Trump’s behavior and his politically incorrect statements. This allows the Democrats to beat the rest of us over the head. Every time a Chris Christie or Newt Gingrich disavows a statement made by Trump, they are giving aid to the enemy and shoving a knife into the back of the one man who can defeat Crooked Hillary in the fall.

This weakness by people who are supposedly on our side are like the abused puppy that licks the hands of his tormentors in an effort to placate them. The puppy will never be respected and will be abused none the less.

I’m very dissapointed in the nervous nellies in the GOP establishment and the “concern trolls” that ply the waters of the Free Republic here, infesting us with their negativity.

Excellent analysis

...... and, it’s August

[Old Retired Army Guy]

When FNC got a little too warm and folksy this morning, I switched the channel to MSNBC and listened for about one minute as Mika went into a Rant for Hillary and against Trump. This is just a continuation of what they have been doing all week in an effort to take Trump out. It is obvious that MSNBC has lost all pretense of objectivity and is nothing more than a propaganda vehicle for Hillary and the DNC. I hope their ratings go into the tank where they belong. I wont be switching to them again any time soon.

[Paleo Pete]

Democrats, Republicans and the press all hate Trump.

What better endorsement can he get?

They’ll stop at nothing to bring him down. I just wish he would focus, get Hillary in his crosshairs and never look away.

Dear Washington,

America is coming.

And they’re bringing Donald J Trump.

Mean while, back at the ranch, the media are totally ignoring the fact that the Clinton campaign does not even exist outside of the media. If you take a look at her “campaign schedule” for the remainder of August, you’ll find that she is attending a convention in Washington DC today, then nothing until August 15, when she does an “organizing event” with Biden in Scranton, then a fundraiser on August 21st. Since her coronation last week, the “rallies” she has had have all been pretty small, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

Even her running-mate Tim Kaine has only two “organizing events” scheduled for the remainder of August.

She is essentially depending on the media, notably CNN, to do her campaigning for her, and their effort is focused exclusively on attempts to destroy Trump, not actually tout any of Clinton’s accomplishments or policies, because she has no accomplishments and her policies have all ended in disaster and death.

It is time for the Trump campaign, and the GOP to start calling out the media for their total lack of interesting in Clinton’s non-campaign, and her possible inability to even withstand the rigors of an actual campaign.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

“CNN doing her campaigning for her.” Yes that is correct, but don’t forget their partner MSNBC.
