So, for the left, safety, security, law and order, and good-paying jobs are "dark".

What they must mean is that not having to depend on the government is darkness.

I was watching NBC. I was flabbergasted that the very first thing Brokaw said after the end was remark “It was a dark speech.” In no way did that sound like a spontaneous reaction to what he had just heard. There is NO WAY a rarional human being would conflate “dark” with that speech. This was clearly planned in advance as you say. I then switched to CSPAN (where I should have been all along).

I am 77 years old and what Trump says is an absolute fact/ It would matter a lot less to me if I did not have loved ones left here to face the music. I have had a great life but wish better than what is coming for my kids and grand kids.
If young folks buy into the Pie in The Sky the Democrats are selling then all I can say is you brought it on yourself.
It is time to face the truth folks.

Trump correctly illustrated a lot of very sad (and dark in that sense) aspects of contemporary American life. That CBS analysts have a hard time recognizing those aspects only proves their lack of empathy for Americans who would like to retain their heritage.

This is not an effective way to attack Donald Trump, but they are oblivious in their politically correct blindness to reality. Let them continue to waste their efforts in this manner, rather than finally focus on something that might be salable.

Exactly! It is just one word but its use was so instantaneous and complete that it speaks volumes about what is going on...... Let's put it this way, was there a single democratic shill talking head on tv last light who did not use the word 'dark' immediately after the speech? I think the answer is a resounding no. It says a) they all got their talking points at the exact same time and b) that any pretense of subjectivity is absolutely gone. They used to at least have some semblance of pretense but that vanished instantly last night the second that Trump switched off the mic.... why not officially change their name to Clinton News Network for CNN, Nothing But Clintons for NBC and so on? Why shouldn't they make it official?

I bet if you dig you can find this all traced to an email coming out of one of Hillary’s servers telling them all to use the term dark.

I’m sure team Hillary is already working with the MSM to craft the reviews on next week’s DNC convention. “The most energized and forward-thinking convention of all time”, “The world was mesmerized by the sheer genius displayed by Hillary”, etc. etc.

Well duh- where has cbs been the last 8 years...oh wait that’s right they have been looking through the rose colored glasses and sipping the koolaid provided by the regime. MSM is the propaganda wing of the regime marxists and globalists . They are the libs’ Leni Riefenstahl.

That's a great post!!!!!

I roll my eyes every time I hear a liberal use the phrase "Dog Whistle", because it means something very specific to them...come to think of it, isn't the phrase "dog-whistle" a dog whistle for liberals???
