There was no “positive” coverage of Trump. His candidacy was promoted by the media because they thought he would be a joke. He received a lot more airtime than the other candidates because the media though it would make for good Republican-bashing copy. They thought they were helping hillary but little did they know that he was the only person on the stage at the time that could take out hillary.
Like Obama, he’s a product of the media. But I think this man understands what he’s supposed to do versus the clueless Kenyan pothead.
We are moving towards a time when persona and imagery will replace competence and experience. Trump might be the last candidate with the competence and experience.
