Hillary and not bash either Sanders or O'Malley.

Our candidate is making a strong showing so far and I am very happy to see that.

As for US MSM, I believe that its performance is at best pathetically focused on "entertainment" and at worst overtly biased towards the RW so I really don't have a high opinion of US media coverage in general. But constantly bashing the media for not providing coverage of a candidate is not a winning tactic.

I do, however, find it extremely frustrating that someone like Trump, a national embarrassment and an a**hole of the worst possible kind, gets so much coverage and am sure that it must be maddening for other candidates - on both sides of the political aisle.
