You guys didn't mind it when he blasted the media for its obsessive focus on Hillary's emails. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #4
They don't get that the media should focus on the issues, not the person. Autumn Nov 2015 #10
They WANT media to avoid the issues because that's where Clinton is weakest. arcane1 Nov 2015 #68
They want everyone to focus on Carson's lies instead of hers. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #74
Kind of like the media focused on the lies about Hillary's email's relevance to Bengazi... cascadiance Nov 2015 #79
That's a really good point, and one I think Bernie tried to make as well. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #80
