Why either Hillary or Bernie could lose... the spotlight

Yes I know there is still a primary/caucus season going on for the Democrats..set that aside a second..

The Trump has it figured out on keeping in the media spotlight 24/7.. for good or bad.. it does not matter.. he will blow it up any way he can to stay in the spotlight.. to have everyone talking about him incessantly..

That incessant spotlight works in his favor even if he is hounded when a story first breaks..it ends up working in his favor because he is the only thing people hear or see ..

Both our candidates cannot get a moment in the news for the life of them..

We got a problem here... who would have thought this.. now we have politicians fighting it out on 24 characters or less??

I need a cup of coffee! some for DU too.. (_)O (_)O (_)O (_)O (_)O (_)O sheesh

1. Actually, having watched CNN and MSNBC over the last week, Sanders appears second to Trump

Even he doesn't have near the airtime Trump has, but over the past several days, he has appeared in at least once in every one of their shows.

Clinton is mentioned when they talk polls or in segments about Sanders, but in most cases her face does not appear in the broadcast.

The media will go to the drama, and there is plenty of drama on the right.

3. If I see a mention of either one of them

it is in passing and then right back to the Trump.

14. ROFL...

that is about it..

2. What can Hillary or Bernie do to get the spotlight? Maybe they could say they

are going to bomb Canada or something. That was sarcasm so the Mrs. Kravitz people don't have hissy fit.

4. ROFl.. it seems like the only thing anyone responds too..

and I have never seen so many republicans on TV non stop.. they seemed to have gotten the message.. keep the drama going~~

5. It is ridiculous everywhere I go where they have public TVs they are always on either Fox

or CNN and it is Trump. I come home yesterday afternoon and turn on MSNBC for a break and I watch the first 20 minutes of Tweety and he had nothing but Trump. I think that f---g Tweety gets that tingle up his leg for Trump now.
Even the local news has to have something about Trump, apparently they think we don't get enough of him the rest of the day. Front page of the paper Trump. Could it be at some point he is just over exposed, we can only hope. Thank god for Netflix I can escape it there for now anyway. This morning I go to McDonalds for coffee and the subject Trump, I came home.

7. That is exactly what I see happening here..

Everybody.. and I mean everybody.. is Trump 24/7.. its almost Rovian in a way.. wasn't it Karl Rove who pushed.. if you are going to have scandals.. have a gazillion..no one will remember them..but they will remember your face??

6. When Trump makes President I wonder if we will get a 24/7 reality channel of Trump Vision.

8. Oh my God I know I know..

11. I feel like we are moving into a world thats a trashy mix of Bladerunner, Idiotcracy, Rollerball and

nonstop Kardasians.

[Peacetrain]

12. You said it better than me..

that is exactly how I feel..

[doc03]

9. Hillary Clinton's name only comes up if it is about those damn e-mails. They only cover

Bernie if he has something negative to say about Hillary.

[Peacetrain]

10. Sanders rally so big it

stressed the San Andreas fault in Ca... crickets from the press

Clinton proposed a child care cap on cost of child care (which just eats up every penny of a young working family).. crickets from the press

Trump stuck a finger up his nose.. STOP THE PRESSES.. its mind boggling

15. I am sorry, LOCKING
