I saw Trump's bad press coming a mile away.

It was about a week or two ago when the Trump campaign started patting down his press pool and I knew it wouldn't end well for him. Al Gore pissed off his press pool in 2000 and a reporter famously said "He's going to be sorry". So trust me, it will be Hillary's turn the moment she slights them.

but it is mostly self inflicted. Actually they are still letting lots of stuff slide real time.

after the economy crashed. Media threw up their hands and stopped trying to pretend the GOP'er was sane or normal. Same thing happening w Trump now.
