How dumb is the US media? They keep falling for the Trump con game.

The reporters in the United States seem to be unable to think for themselves. They follow Trump around like he is their king and every word he utters is majestic. When will it all end?
How can a know nothing like Trump be even in the polling?

Yes, the media is a never ending parade of feckless, self congratulatory dimwits.

But, end of the day, they are feeding the masses what they want.

It is plain as fucking day what Trump is (just as it is plain as day that Hillary is a solid public servant), but what I see driving all across my state are Trump signs, flags, ect.

This stupid is T H I C K in this country.

tell you the truth, I think so many journalist are in SHOCK that a presidential candidate can be such serial liar....they really don't know how to react....but they are learning and its becoming apparent over the past couple weeks that trump and his spokespeople are being called out directly face to face as liars.....

and this will only pick up steam as the lies become more ridiculous....remember trump's lies have NO effect on his supporters.....thank god trump is a narcissist and can't seem to figure out it takes more than 40% to get elected. The college educated are leaving the republican party in droves...and supporting Hillary in record numbers....
