Dont be surprised if the press turns on clinton soon

i was talking with my cousin the other day and he said when he goes to yahoo news or nbc news or politico etc he sees in hes oponion way more anti trump articles then anti hillary articles and he thought that was a good thing. I told him EVEN if that is the case which im not 100 percent convinced it is. at the end of the day THESE are big corps who make money of ratings. IF THEY SMELL blood about clinton they are going to turn on her. The press and media truely ONLY cares about there ratings not always reporting the truth.

Whitehouse, look at yesterday Trump dominated all the networks and they play a few seconds of Clinton speaking to the VFW.
Trump has been pushing her health lately and honestly yesterday she looked awful.

Please be careful of what you say about hillary negative wise. The freepers and consv pick up on ANYTHING liberals say agianst hillary. SO if we start a thread saying hillary "looked sick or awful" or whatever they will RUN with it. i dont mean so much on here but just on social media and places like twitter when things trend and hashtags and crap.

bad hair days. You have to admit Trump won the day yesterday and it scares the hell out of me when I see
the poll numbers narrowing. Something else I notice Trump surrogates are everywhere like rats on the news and it seems there
are very few people out there defending Hillary, where the hell are they?

would be dead tired if I worked the hours she does. But I realize I can't do as much physically or mentally as I could 10 or 20 years ago. Knowing my limitations at 68 I would rather see a younger person in the office than her of Trump. Whoever gets elected will be the oldest or almost the oldest person ever elected. Look what happened to Reagan according to reports the last 4 years Nancy pretty much ran things. A man or women got to know their limitations but apparently their ego won't permit that.

since Donnie has bad hair days all the time and no one comments. She's busy doing actual things, so she didn't have time for a blowout, she didn't look fatigued, tired, sick or anything else.

If you wish to comment on things like appearance, well ... understand your double standards and where they come from, but she didn't "look awful" she looked healthy, intelligent and energetic. You just didn't care for her hairstyle.

an unopposed Democrat. Hell, if you don't have a horse race what are you going to talk about, issues? But at the end of the day, if it ever looks like Trump might win, the media will do its job and take him down hard. They work for the establishment, and he is a loose canon who is going to hurt stability. They don't want him in the White House.

Surprised your cousin only sees Trump negative opinions? Because there aren't any positives there! And the Clinton emails have been rehashed to death, they need to come up with new materials but nothing egregious has come out of her mouth yet.

Please watch this clip from her press conference on April 22, 1994.

Note at 40 seconds she gets the "trust" question. This has been going on for more than 20 years.

They did that in 1992. If the automobile industry could come up with a similar self-perpetuating energy source, oil would be 75¢ a barrel.
