i caught most episodes from midway thru the primaries til the end. gave a great insight as to how the insider thug libtard media works, with mcKinnion as the resident rino giving color commentary. their last pre-election episode’s title (praphrased) spoke volumes: “we have no f___king idea”

recorded this recap but haven’t taken time to watch it yet.

I have watched most of the election night coverage recently that has been posted on YouTube. It is fun to see CNN, the first two hours Tapper and Blitzer are dizzy with glee, by midnight they are extremely worried and by 2 am they are downright depressed. PBS has about seven commentators - the two “conservatives’ are David Brooks of the NY Times and Stuart Spencer (or is it Spencer Stuart?) who did such a wonderful job running Romney’s general election campaign. Brooks is on the point of flipping out, at one point hysterically claiming that this is “like Father Coughlin just won the presidency”. Spencer is worse than any Democrat with his bile. There is not one Trump leaner on a network funded by you and me, unwillingly with our tax money. They also have some hysterical nobodies shrieking about how bad this is, to the point where it is quite funny to watch, I laughed long and loud at them.

If I could get the money, I’d do a documentary right.

I'm reading Dinesh D'Souza's Hillary's America. I began to wonder if Hillary's temperament kept her campaign advisors from facing reality. They lied to themselves and to her to avoid her notorious wrath.

I like it

But I do have an issue using the word “upset” because I don’t think he ever was polling as badly as was reported. The only reason this surprised the media and the left in general is because they weren’t paying attention.

Podesta knew they were in deep trouble b/c the Republicans had nominated the one guy they possibly couldn't beat.....Donald Trump. Hillary's campaign chair, an inbred Democrat fixer, said, in essence, that traditional attacks that worked on other Republicans had not and would not work on Trump, that he was a master of the media.

I have to admit...Podesta's prescience about Trump made me understand why he's been so valuable for so long to Democrats.

Podesta as Clinton's COS.

Podesta as Counsellor to Obama.

Podesta as Hillary's campaign manager

Excellent analysis, as usual.

"If I could get the money..."

"I'm so poor I can't even pay attention."

Part of the premise is to deny that other viewpoints exist. That’s why they try to shut people down so violently. Trump was the only candidate that could have won against Hillary, and that’s because he never bought the conventional wisdom that to win you have to have the media’s approval.

Precisely.

No. That’s what D’Souza does and “Facing the Giants” does. Our “Rockin’ the Wall” was reviewed by 14 different sources, including “Bass Player Magazine” and leftie music mags, and got 14 positive reviews.

It is totally possible to make good movies that draw all audiences that have a conservative message. More than a few libs saw “Braveheart” or “Apollo 13.”

Enjoyed your book. I am in the belly of the Blue beast so when I read it on the train I had to hold it so the snowflakes could not see the title.

I watched "Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time." and found it to be a distorted hit piece that bore no resemblance to what actually happened and why. One glaring omission was Hillary's physical collapse that raised serious questions about her health. Nor was there any comparison as to how much Trump outworked her in terms of events and appearances, especially at the end.

The O'Keefe undercover videos documented how the sinister Dem left orchestrated violence against the Trump campaign with the low light being Chicago where Trump had to cancel the event.

The Dems and MSM still have not accepted the result witness the attempts to influence the electoral college, the Jill Stein recounts in WI, MI, and PA, the blocking of Trump cabinet appointments, the faux law suits against the pause in immigration from seven nation states, three of whom have no diplomatic relations with the US and are designated as state sponsors of terrorism and four that are war zones.

The courts have been exposed as never before as being political instruments of the left and corporatism, the Constitution be damned. This was expected by those of us who understood that Trump's election is a direct threat against the Washington establishment and the globalists who are more concerned about power and money than the welfare of the American people. It will be a steel cage, death match. The outcome is very much in doubt as to who will prevail.

Good point on her collapses. Overall, they ignored ANY reason that people had to vote for Trump or against her. So at the end, they are stuck explaining something that they absolutely didn’t set up with the evidence.

Thanks for the analysis and insight.

I don’t know if I am ready to side with Podesta who essentially says that Trump alone was able to beat Hillary (ignoring her overall unsuitability) and side with those that say, like Tucker Carlson, who claim that if the Democrats had run Warren against Trump he would have lost.

I just know how relieved I was to see the rally attendance and Trump’s speeches centering on policies I could support as opposed to the negative takes on opponents that partially characterized his efforts in the primary.

I guess I probably should watch before commenting. It can be streamed for free on SHO with a trial subscription. Should I use up my one trial subscription shot on this?

Were they implying funny business was involved with Trump's success? What does the viewer conclude?
