This was a black event. The fact that he got anyone watching him is great in and of its self. They are usually democrat robot voters.

I’m with you. I hope Trump will behave more presidential.

Here is hoping he can take a chain saw to the DC Cartel. It is so entrenched it may need a wrecking ball.

On Wednesday, he said he would no longer appear on Fox News, which responded that Trump "doesn’t seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how the media works in this country.”

Actually, that's exactly how the media works in this country, if it's a Democrat who's doing the telling...

If it’s the picture I think, the whole auditorium was full except one row reserved for the press who are down front, then after pictures they return to their seats. It was dishonest, but typical.

Trump should buy the LA Times and then release the video they hold of pre-president Barack Obama toasting a Jew-bashing PLO operative.

As I recall, Barack Obaam refused to participate in a Fox presidential primary debate in 2008.

They are trying the full Sarah Palin on him.

Bears repeating. If it worked once why not repeat it. All the reason more to teach the MSM we won't put up with these lies.

No one except Limbaugh makes an issue of this kind of bias.

The public needs to be educated that omission bias is easy and common.

Trump is doing it. He may not have to, but he is doing all of us a favor.

Journos should stop and consider the impact of a photo on a candidate and whether it is fair to the candidate, compared to how the journo portrays other candidates.

Have they ever shown the empty seats at one of Hillary’s yawners? Or at one of Obunga’s recent events? It’s the stark, blatant, shameless prostitution by the media that must not go unexposed....and ISN’T, thanks to Trump. If they’re going to snipe; then make sure it’s equal opportunity sniping....because Trump is taking names and publishing them!

There’s a part of me that winces when Trump does this. But OTOH, if he does it regularly, and forcefully, he just MIGHT actually break a few of them from sucking eggs. And he surely knows a heap more about dealing with the media than I do.

I don’t think its a thick skin thing, I think its a calling it out thing, and I think Trump should call em out on everything they do. The press lie, and folks just take it...I think he needs to call them out on every little thing they do.

I’m not saying going ballistic over every slight, but call them on every single one, so that the other side gets out.

Otherwise the only story told is the falsehood the media wants to portray.

So, I don’t see this as a thicker skin issue, I see it as Trump understanding the game and having none of it.

He needs to learn how to mock the propaganda machine and, yes, release his photos of an impromptu stop.

It’s about damn time somebody called the media out on their dirty tricks.

Amazing Hillary’s empty chairs are a MSM non-event.
