Running the Table, by Robert Gore

The election is Trump’s to lose. Hillary Clinton is the same captive of the establishment and stilted campaigner as the Republicans he destroyed. Trump’s running the table. Barring successful machinations to deny him the nomination at the convention, or a predictably unpredictable “accident,” he shouldn’t have much trouble with the candidate the consistently wrong pundits believe he can’t beat.

    The thing I find most disconcerting is that the media willingly accept the most blatant lies coming from a liberal source, and exhibit wild distortions of anything a conservative says, without a trace of shame. While I don't think of Trump as a classic conservative, the most outrageous statements attributed to him have in fact been distorted, twisted, fabricated, or taken out of context to present his ideas in the most repulsive light. What's most distasteful and telling is that even his Republican opponents have begun to indulge in repeating these distortions.

      The parties are marketing businesses out for power and a profit. The media are businesses too, out for ad revenue from watchers and listeners. I dont even listen to the CNN reports as they are trying to make trouble so people are worried and watch. Knowing this, I put them all in the "establishment" category. Until they change, I dont expect anything reasonable from them.

      “Every one of you knows that this election's a farce. You ladies and gentlemen of the press have been less than honest in reporting to the American people what's going on in the country. By abandoning the principle of free press, America has allowed itself to be controlled by special interests, and ultimately by a foreign power”. -- Devin Milford, "Amerika"

    Thanks for the logical reasoned approach to explaining this situation. I thought about and came up with three facts....

    1. Hillary is incompetent. Dangerously so. She doesn't have a clue. Does not want to learn and never has been successful at anything including stand by her man. Instead she is a laundress of coat tails.

    2. Trump is not incompetent. He doesn't multi task his linear tasks but very fast and learns fast.

    3. The old USA and the Constitution are gone. Those who could have and should have coalesced to stop that failed to do so and continue to fail.

    Putting all that together better wake up to the future and look at USAVII Version II.

    To start with make it Hillary Free and send Sanders with her.

    I'm not there yet for making a drastic change in my intended vote.

    But I am not fighting the last war anymore. There aren't enough troops.

    I dislike the establishment in all its forms now. I want it broken up and hopefully replaced with more libertarian policies. Trump is onto something that a LOT of people want. He has my vote
