35. Wake me up when it is over

Sun Sep 25, 2016, 08:39 PM

Sep 2016

I have every confidence in Hillary Clinton and her command of the issues and her ability to be POTUS but almost none in the media and my biggest fear is that the media/pundits will spin the debates so that they can either proclaim Trump the winner or at least make him seem more palatable as a legitimate Presidential candidate. I think that the media doesn't *want* Hillary to be POTUS and considers her "old news" but I think that, at least on some level, they recognize that Trump is grossly underqualified for the job (but still needs the "horse race" and ratings, so they keep propping him up).
