My GOD. They cut from the Ottawa Summit to Trump. He does not holdup well by comparison.

JESUS. The three leaders of North America eruditely, carefully, intelligently answering questions about the world economic crises and the need for cooperation, about the potential issues around Brexit, and managing to show their deep contempt for Trump in the process, followed by that godawful buffoon alternately lying his ass off about everyone and everything and claiming he's been done wrong by everyone and everything else.

They don't sound like the same SPECIES. He's the rouser and by God those people cheering him are the rabble. I try so hard to feel empathy, and I do, but he's playing them like a cheap banjo and they are living off the thrill of the mob cheering the cult leader. They have no more idea what he's talking about than he does, but they're all jumping up and down together.

It's getting harder and harder to understand how he gets away with it.

I noticed that as well. Viewers need to vent their outrage! How stupid and arrogant of the network.

Why does msnbc only report the Quinnipiac poll (which is an outlier) and not the Ballotpedia swing state polls (perhaps an outlier is some states) which show Clinton with generally significant (sometimes double digit) leads?
