In the end, it was the voters of Indiana last week who effectively gave the country the outcome that had loomed for months. The 2016 election is likely to pit Hillary Clinton, who is disliked by a majority of voters, against Donald Trump, disliked by a greater majority of voters.
If the rise of Trump has no obvious precedent, neither does an election like this. Clinton, whose buoyant favorable ratings in the State Department convinced some Democrats that she could win easily, is now viewed as unfavorably as George W. Bush was in his close 2004 reelection bid. Trump is even less liked, with negative ratings among nonwhite voters not seen since the 1964 campaign of Barry Goldwater.

Because he was part of their world he knows how they think which must be driving them (the MSM) crazy about now. He knows they're heavily funded liars who are paid by their handlers very well to confuse the masses and make them believe the illusion they are portraying.
The MSM - Star Trek version
Leftist Journ-o-listers take care of their own.
Properly aired, compost is life, but a dump of garbage never turned nor cared for is a stinky, smelly pile of rotted matter
Washington always thinks the way it does things is the best ... hah !
Clinton is widely hated by D voters. Trump is not widely hated by anyone other than the mass media elites ( who nevertheless make $ because of him).
If Trump currently has 40 million supporters, he is already carrying between 34% and 50% of the voting base. A win is very do-able.
according to a wiki article, 131,407,000 voters voted in 2008

The wash post is owned by the fascist uniparty machine. They want Clinton of course and will try to cram her down the D party voters’ throats -— the post is afraid of trump because he’s the one R candidate that can get a lot of D votes (because he’s quite leftist in some ways and because he’s charismatic ). The Post will keep making up Krap about him
WAPO is very high on my do-not-patronize list.
It’s an old liberal trick to do the equal pox thing to take the shine off someone new. Hillary is hated. They can’t deny it, so Trump has to be seen as hated. Their reporting will try to bring that about.
Everything the Wapo reports is a lie. They’ve been covering for liberals for decades after running Nixon and trying to run Reagan.
As he does for every election, he has Trump and Hillary battling onstage while he sings “Elected”.
They end up kissing and Trump swats her on the arse and carries her offstage, caveman style.
Pretty funny.
Trump grows on most people. hillary becomes ever more intolerable, every day.
He (Trump) apparently has higher negative ratings and primary votes than McCain or Romney.
Anyone can make up the fake polling data and make the word ‘disliked’ into some fraudulent phrase. It is a humorous article and has little to do with reality.
Go and talk to a hundred regular democrats (actually working guys, not students, journalists or idiots living under bridges). In private conversations...more than a quarter will admit that they can find a way in their heart to vote for Trump. It is the same formula that Reagan had in the first campaign where blue-dog democrats came out in the south and assured the victory. It’s a repeat of the success from that one single year.
My suspicion is that the news media and lobbyists are screwed because they can’t manipulate the message or force into corners. If he does create a million-plus jobs in his first four years....there’s nothing much they can do to go negative on him. That’s really the bulk of this story....if he can just achieve what he says.
This election is no different/worse than any previous elections. Two candidates are selected, neither of which is the greatest available, and then thrown in front of the people to select which of the two is the lest worst.
Been listening to a few regular people debating Trump vs Hillary vs Obama in one of the bluest of blue states. Some like Obama but don’t like Hillary. Some like Trump and really don’t like Hillary. The few that like Hillary are generally clueless. I ask politely to have them talk about her accomplishments. Invariably they say Secretary of State. Sometimes they mention Senator. They can’t name an actual accomplishment. Trump will try to open their eyes, but that’s an uphill battle. Fortunately those people appear to be a minority.
As I’ve said all along, the media selected your candidates and the American people went right along with them. Whoever had their faces plastered on the screen the most got the votes. The media had control over the message, the time allotted on screen and who created the most revenue for them. Both Trump and Hillary got the most “hits”. A goldmine for the media agency’s.
LOL Trump just had 28,000 attending his West Virginia rally!
Alice Cooper is actually a very nice man.
I know.
