Biden says Trump distracted media’s attention to win election

Vice President Joseph R. Biden said Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump won the election by diverting the media’s attention away from serious issues to scandals and outrageous rhetoric.

“When a guy talks about grabbing a woman’s private parts, when a guy says some of the incredibly outrageous things that were said, it sucks up all the oxygen in the air,” Mr. Biden said in an address at the New York University School of Law. “There wasn’t much of a discussion of issues, even in the debates.”

a media who can be distracted by a tweet should get nowhere near having their candidate in the white house

No Joe, this is called a sharp businessman spinning a bunch of dolt liberals in their chairs to where they can’t see straight. And he is still spinning the chairs.

“When a guy talks about grabbing a woman’s private parts, when a guy says some of the incredibly outrageous things that were said, it sucks up all the oxygen in the air,” Mr. Biden said

"It worked, so I think I'll try it for my 2020 campaign" he continued.

Trump decided to speak directly to the people so it couldn’t be taken out of context and yet the lame Stream media still tried. No we realize we don’t need the lamestream media anymore

OH NO, Joe is back and with more jokes. Media distraction that’s what it was, Joe. We are fed up with you and yours Joe. We want law and order back and we want adults in charge. Not snowflakes.

Yes, Trump distracted people by telling them exactly what he was going to do. Now he’s doing it. That’s a very distracting thing to a Democrat.

Rush just this morning was talking about Republicans who promise things, and Democrats who have nothing to promise but to destroy their enemies.

Look at their efforts against Trump. They promised very little and went after Trump with a passion.

Hillary was revealed to be a criminal. The Republicans complained about that. The Democrats complained that the public found out.

Russia was supposed to be the bad guy, not the actual crook.

I don’t think Russia had anything to do with it. That was simply a bogie-man the Left set up to deflect.

I will say though, if Russia was the souce, I’d like to say one big heaping dose of THANKS!

Adam Shaft was irate at Russia last night on FoxNews. How could they? How could we accept it? He’s on the intelligence committee and refused to look the camera in the lens and state that Russia was the source for the Podesta eMail dump.

Not on hint that Shaft was upset at anything Hillary had done. Nothing disturbed him about her actions.

Is Vice President Joseph R. Biden an idiot?

Or is Vice President Joseph R. Biden an idiot?

I know that an excellent argument can be made for either of those two propositions.

But at least there’s one thing that’s not in dispute and that everyone can agree on: Vice President Joseph R. Biden is an idiot.

That was obviously Trumps strategy. He knew that the dishonest, lying, propaganda spouting, cosmic suck-ups, character assassinating media would attack him at all levels if he just discussed the issues. Look what they did to Bush, McCain, and Romney. So he roped the dopes in by giving them all sorts of fodder to give him name recognition among the disillusioned voters, he went to new media, and rallies, and let those idiots in the media salivate over the “stupid” Trump while he was building his voting base. Then by attacking the media, and they attacked him back (which they would have done anyway), he proved that he was right, that they were unfair. He looked like he could read the tea leaves. They are too stupid and in such a group/mind think mode that they couldn’t figure it out. They would make cow manure electable, if cow manure could promise them money, and give them notoriety.He also knows that the media is in it for the money, so each one of those insipid buffoons was clawing over each other to get a critical word in edgewise (hoping they could land a broadcasting(read more $) gig...He played them for the fools that they are. Just about all of those media clowns only knows how to write and present information. They are completely ignorant about the topics they present...
Watch them report on a matter or situation that you are conversant in, and see how insipid and mentally lame they are....
