It's beginning to appear that Trump might get elected. If so, it would be the worst choice in American History.

For reasons unknown to me the media seems hell bent on publicizing Trump's every word. If they keep that up, he will be elected.
What does the media gain by promoting Trump?

The media just wants Trump to spend some of his money on election ads....a year before an election.

I want the market to go down more, then maybe the press will start doing their job and push back on his idiocacy.

But I get the feeling the press is enjoying reporting on the train wreck called trump.
