Hillary picked out the Republican candidate she wanted to run against (Trump) and the media gave him so much free air time that he ended up not having to shell out the millions it should have cost him. The other Republican candidates began to complain because they were barely noticed.
Most of the Trump coverage was positive, as in "Hey, look and see what Trump is doing today."
They built him up to the point that he became the Republican candidate - Hillary's choice.
Now they are in back-er-up mode - hugely bewildered because it all blew up in their faces.
If ya ever need a good stiff laugh just think about them making Trump so accessible to the point that no one else would do, EVEN HILLARY.
Sheesh. No one in the media “built him up.”
Actual thinking Americans not addicted to the freaking tee vee saw the country’s most prominent businessman running for President and willing to run without pay to fix a beleaguered economy.
Good reason to vote for the man. And they did.
You sound like you think Trump was just “Hillary’s choice.”
A lot of us were more aware of Trump’s strengths.
Hillary had NOTHING to do with it.
Positive? I don't remember it that way at all.
The media came out of the gate attacking Trump, because they (and the Dems) rightfully saw him as the clearest threat to a Dem taking the White House again.
Don't forget that Meghan Kelly of Fox did her level best to knock Trump out of the running at the first debate. From that night forward, the MSM engaged in a coordinated assault, to take him down.
It backfired, of course, because Trump fought back, and beat them at their own game.
I’m sure Hillary thinks about this EVERY DAY and grinds her guts out over it !!!
Great points...never thought of it that way, but their own collective arrogance was their downfall! Thus demonstrating why collectivism always fails. Ultimately I think this is the true reason their heads are exploding. They know in the back of their addled brains that they helped Trump win! LOLOLOL!
