As you said, I'm sure Hillary's campaign has all of those scandals on their radar, as each week the campaign releases a devastating ad against Trump.

The problem is the media have failed to go after Trump with the same tenacity they have gone after Hillary. It's been totally unbalanced. They have let Trump slide on so many lies, flip-flops, racist remarks, and scandals.

What Hillary's campaign, what we all have to do, is call them out on the deplorable dereliction of their journalistic duties.

And I hope other members will kick and recommend this thread.

But yes Hillary's campaign and we her supporters must not let up in going after Trump.

We have to shout as loud as we can, like the Whos of Whoville who shout louder and louder, "We are here! We are here! We are here!" until finally their pleas break through the atmosphere of the the dust speck.

But the other night, NBC failed big time in selecting Matt Lauer to moderate the Commander-In-Chief Forum, which had a YUGE national audience.

They should have chosen Joy Reid.

That was a lost opportunity.
