It is funny how damn hard the media is working to take down Trump (no way this could possibly backfire on them).

Lead headlines right now (0630 EST):

CNN.com : Putin, babies, the NFL
MSNBC: How Trump Has Talked About Sexual Harassment
WashPo: Trump refuses to back Ryan, McCain in their primaries
NYT: Trump Steps Up His Criticism of Khans and G.O.P. Leaders
Fox: IRAN CASH QUESTIONS: US sent $400 million to Tehran while Americans released, report says

How in the world is Fox the only one leading with real news?

I'm not offended by how stupid that news is. I'm offended by the fact that it's days old.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's a good thing the media just wants what's best for us, or else I'd be concerned.

So I’ve always had a difficult time with John for that reason, because our vets are not being treated properly. They’re not being treated fairly.”

The way he speaks. He can barely form full sentences or coherent thoughts. Just unbelievable.
Whats incoherent or hard to understand about it? He's dead wrong but criticism of the way he speaks is lazy. The New York times doesn't write good thing was lazy too. Let's stick to legit complaints about this guy and not cherry pick a poorly worded sentence here or there because it's easy.


Maybe incoherent is the wrong word. He speaks like a drunk bro at a bar. Or similar to a 13 year old who is still learning how to speak in front of an audience. He's an idiot

How in the hell could anyone not have an issue with his way of speaking? It's embarrassing. He said the same thing three times in succession. That drives me crazy. He's speaking like someone who was coached to speak that way. It's not natural. Robotic.

The thing about the media coverage is, each of his individual gaffs are up there with the absolute worst mistake in any previous election. Remember how Howard Dean ruined his dreams with just an exuberant scream? Remember weeks of coverage of that? Remember "I can see Russia from my house?" "Who voted for it? This one." These were so notorious that they became cultural reference points for a time, and they wouldn't even be a blip this year.

It's easy to start acclimating to Trump's absurdity over time, but each of these moments would be the defining "whoops" of any other election year.

The election is so crazy that when I saw this headline I honestly couldn't tell if it was satire or real life.

Here's another, though this one might be true. And just as funny/frightening.

Gen. Hayden is one of the most experienced, intelligent, sanest voices in government. If he says no Trump, motherfuckers should listen.

If this isn't enough to scare people, nothing will.

The descent of Paul Ryan from savior to complete joke in less than a year is pretty amazing too.
