I have seen Clinton and her surrogates publicly calling out his BS including Trump U. Seems your request is being met daily and has been for over a month.

And it is clearly sticking. Have you seen his negatives? Still, don't expect the right wing media to call him out across the board.

stations. They will love the money they receive for running those ads. People spend a lot of time in their cars and listening to talk radio or driving to Walmart. Smart money places ads there. And I would play the sound track from that video in which Trump is praising Obama and Hillary and the Democrats and says in is more in line with the Democrats...in his own words. And he talks about raising taxes, free schools. etc.

...the "media" has to cooperate. They agreed with the Melina plagiarism story, so Trump had to respond. They agreed with the Hillary committed a crime, so that story does not go away. They do not "drum beat" the Trump University story, which is a real case of fraud!

Always have been.

It does however allow for the republicans to smear Democrats and lie about them without repercussions.

Donald Trump will eat you alive while you play all fair and square nicely. Don the Con believes in marketing and selling an image. Donald Trump can sell a positive image or sell a negative image to the public.

Will blow up in his face as one example after another
comes out proving that Donald skirts the law and makes
chaos for his own profit. Drip drip drip.

And where are your taxes Donald?
