Has any other candidate run for office primarily on Twitter?
The media needs to be called out on this crap. No more calling into news shows. No more breathless bloviating about some horseshit tweet from Donnie Short Fingers.
This is Trump in his underwear in his moms basement
or maybe hes sitting on his gold-gilded shitter wiping his ass with his gold laced shit-paper.
If he has something to say, please lets hear it in more than 140 characters
emogies dont count.
This is not an effing campaign. Its nothing but internet trolling. In fact, its more like an orange colored orangutan screeching and flinging its own poop
I dont have a problem with candidates using Social Media, but there needs to be a line drawn somewhere. Theres a huge difference between a thought provoking, policy inspiring or relevant tweet and 3rd grade level bullying like calling someone Pocahontas.
Heres a standard for the media. If a tweet rises above the level of I know you are, but what am I, or youre a poopy-head
go ahead and run with it. If not, then dont fucking publish it.
Or, you know what
go ahead and publish it, but include a graphic of the sender in a tin-foil hat to accompany it.

Things are dumbed down enough in this country, and a mode of communication that limits expression to 140 characters certainty does not foster sophisticated thinking.
I will say that Donald Trump is a twit, so maybe it suits him.
