I have thought of a good second best solution: At a corner of the TV screen, have something that says, "Number of Lies So Far", and below it, watch the numbers steadily increase as he spouts off the lies. I'd bet that every sentence of his speech tonight will contain a "pants on fire" lie.

They refused Obama's immigration speech? I didn't remember that. So WHY would they air Trump's?

This gets me so angry that ...I don't know what.

That's why they dominate Sunday shows and welcome a Trump speech and deny an Obama speech on the same subject matter. If Steyer,Soros or any other liberal billionaire really wants to help,buy a major network like Murdoch and Comcast did. We need our message out UNFILTERED.
