The American people voted for him a long time ago." They voted for him when reality TV swept the nation. "They voted for him when The History Channel went from showing documentaries about the Second World War to 'Pawn Stars' and 'Swamp People.' They voted for him when The Discovery Channel went from showing 'Lost Treasures of the Yangtze Valley' to 'Naked and Afraid.' They voted for him when The Learning Channel moved from something you could learn from to 'My 600-lb Life.' They voted for him when CBS went from airing 'Harvest of Shame' to airing 'Big Brother,'" and King of Queens.
"These networks didn’t make these programming changes by accident. They were responding to what the American people actually wanted. And what they wanted was 'Naked and Afraid' and 'Duck Dynasty,'" and all of these Real Housewives of every damn city in the country...
The polls may show that Donald Trump is losing to Hillary Clinton, but don’t you believe those polls. When the AC Nielsen Company selects a new Nielsen family --" and I did not know this, by the way. And there are only about 1,200 Nielsen families nationwide. Did you know that? TV ratings are based on 1,200 households? Well, they've had to make some modifications. They go to DirecTV and TiVo and they try to get ratings from people with delayed watch and so forth, but the Nielsen TV ratings are basically 1,200 families. And when they sign up a new family, they ignore what that family watches for the first three months.

Hillary sucks at connecting with real people...hence her shinky dink audiences compared to Trump’s MASSIVE ENTHUSIASTIC audiences.
And even her sycophantic propagandist journalist posers can’t make her look good. ha ha
Frankly, she makes my skin crawl. Most politicians, I'd say accusations of having their opponents killed are probably unfounded exaggerations, but with her I absolutely believe them to my very soul. 0bama would have somebody snuffed so long as it was out of sight, he didn't dirty his hands, and didn't interfere with tee time; Hillary would use a battleaxe personally just to make sure.
I don't think it's really a question of the American people having poor taste, as the author implies. I think it's a case of that taste being a little too good to pass her.
When Megyn shows up on channel 618, I click to channel 619 (Naked & Afraid) lol.
I think you are right. Most of those 20% do not wish to get bored out of their package listening to Hilda beast for 4 years.
Bah, it’s media such as HuffPost that puts on a reality TV show every election.
Trump is the first Republican to fight back against it.
Hillary sucks at anything doing with reality.
Can’t even get a pickle jar to pop.
LOL, I too turn to Naked & Afraid (actually very informative in case one is ever in the wild naked and afraid), when MeAgain comes on.

Yes! But Trump has some real media skills and his time at The Apprentice gave him an understanding of reality TV that no other candidate has not even Hillary.
Hillary lost her soul a long time ago and is pure evil.
Ain’t it great that in America even the stupid, racist and smelly people’s votes count just as much as the well coifed?
And this is what is troubling the drive by media.
It’s killing them.
Rush is usually spot-on in his analyses, but he completely blew it in assessing the article by that jagoff in the HuffPo.
Rush surmised that the guy really thinks Trump will win because Trump is more in tune with the “reality TV” generation. In fact, with escalating scandals and serious health issues making Cankles look worse and worse all the time, that guy was working the mushy middle of voters who are starting to consider Trump seriously, despite all the crap Trump is taking from their standard news sources.
Those so-called independents really care about what people think of them - the HuffPo guy is basically painting this picture: If you vote for Trump, or even think about voting for Trump, you’re essentially one of those morons who’s life revolves around watching the latest antics of Honey-Boo-Boo or the Kardashians.
Plus, if Trump actually does win, the author of this garbage can both claim he predicted it and reiterate his disdain for the ordinary people who made it happen.

Couldn’t care less as long as we win.
Really funny! It reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Jar”. Anyone remember that one?
