Why don't pundits ever mention Trump being a Nazi sympathizer when discussing how the vote will go?

I was just watching MSNBC and they go back and forth on things like the economy etc. but do they ever take into account that most of us don't want someone who says some Nazis are good people, even close to our Gov.? That he is totally nuts and has turned our Gov. into a fucking nut house and is driving a wedge between groups of people? That he has like a half a dozen court cases for corruption coming up???? Not to mention the one he already lost and had to pay like 25 Million for.

There are a million things like this that alone should disqualify him from getting any sane persons vote and the discussions make him sound freaking normal. I would say the bulk of people who don't like him and will NEVER vote for him have things like the Nazi comments in the back of their head along with him just being insane.

will carry near the same weight as "Nazi"? Once this shitshow is over with and they are all locked away for life, it very well could be the case. But it's horrible having to wait...

Democrats equal time to respond. That is what they did when Hillary characterized SOME supporters of trump as deplorable. It was twisted so out of proportion. Same thing occurred with the Swift-boating of John Kerry.

Even beyond that, the Democrat don't have to say anything. Trumps words and actions speak for themselves. They are doing the job of association quite well themselves

but there's a small problem: even Trump supporters don't believe that he ever read a book!

Duty of reporting news, questioning and making accountable the politicians to inform the people.

they are facing existential threat, you’d think they’d pull all the stops with investigative journalism and expose neo nazi agenda of this administration on a daily basis. Instead they just do entertainment opinion talk shows.
