make her look unpopular. Couple that to their pumping up King-Con Don, and you know who they're actually supporting for the White House.

The only reason why Orangeman is getting negative news coverage now, is because he hasn't capitulated to the money-masters on the GOP side. The moment he does, you can bet the news narrative will change to all-positive all the time.

We are not talking about a normal political candidate (even with a whole lot of latitude). His rise can't be good for anyone or any other business than Trump.

So they might get after Hillary.

But look at the YUUUGE build-up they gave Trump in the primary season. You could not turn on msnbc, cnn etc without seeing Trumps moronic sneer all over your screen.

So they built him up big, maybe now they will kick the slats out from under him for the sheer spectacle of his crash and burn?

I can hope..but the campaign can never let down their guard for sure.

I will be phone banking and canvassing, knocking on doors to get the vote out for Hillary, just like I did in the primary.

You do realize that as the Donald was spouting about his golf course in Scotland and showing total ignorance on the Brexit vote, M$M was claiming that Brexit was going to hurt Hillary ... cuz she apparently is all about the status quo and stuff.

Never mind that she has come down far more progressive in her views and campaign and is nothing about "status quo," unless of course status quo includes taking a stand against gun violence, supporting the LGBTQ community, and supporting women's reproductive health care.
