Again with your obsessive-compulsive neurosis with regards to the media.

POUND, Va. (AP) — People in Virginia’s coal country still love President Donald Trump, but not his pick to be their next governor.
Ed Gillespie is a Washington insider and Trump’s choice as Virginians prepare to go to the polls. The president promised southwest Virginia voters in a tweet, “Ed Gillespie will never let you down!”
Trump, who promised to revive the coal industry, had some of his biggest victory margins in Appalachia’s coal region last year. But those same voters said they know little about Gillespie, a former Republican National Committee chairman, corporate lobbyist and multimillionaire who was raised in New Jersey and now lives in Northern Virginia.
The town of Pound, nestled near the Kentucky line, was once a booming coal center where the main drag got so busy with shoppers that people couldn’t find a parking spot. Now, many shops are boarded up with dusty “For Sale” signs. Some buildings are collapsing, overgrown with weeds. Jobs are scarce. Prescription pain pills are a major problem. The high school closed in 2011.
Eight out of 10 voters in Pound backed Trump, and some of the town’s remaining business owners and patrons say their faith has already been rewarded.
“I’ve seen more coal trucks in the last six months than I have in the past eight years,” said David Williams, who owns a TV repair and fishing gear store.
But Gillespie is about as un-Trumplike as a candidate can be, and generates much less interest.

“Glad to know you have such little confidence in our President.”
Which media outlets does our President (or any of his 63 million supporters, for that matter) get to write headlines for?
Since when has our President had to rely on the media, which hates him anyway?
“Since when has our President had to rely on the media, which hates him anyway? “
Not sure what you mean? The media DEFINES REALITY for at least 95% of Republicans in this country, and if they call it a Trump defeat, that is EXACTLY what 95% plus of Republicans will believe.
Trump is stuck with them and they get to define reality for our side - UNTIL and UNLESS we start to own the outlets and replace the ‘journalists’ and editors.

Good God. I feel sorry for you.
“Good God. I feel sorry for you.”
...and I feel sorry for people who think that we (conservatives) have some kind of control over what the media writes about us and how it’s perceived by the people who get most of their news from them (i.e., 95% plus of Republicans).
Again with your obsessive-compulsive neurosis with regards to the media.
“Again with YOUR obsessive-compulsive neurosis with regards to the media.”
I think there is a total of ONE PERSON on this threat who actually thinks people aren’t affected by the media.
But of course....LOL
Whatever feeds your neurosis.
Farewell, crazy person....
When Washington DC grew into a center of “wealth” through big government, the cancer spread into northern Virginia poisoning the entire state.
Big unionized government that sides with the party of Big Government.
