We keep hearing it was because it was good for ratings. If that were the case Bernie would have been on 24/7-look at the turnout at his rallies. Trump's an authoritarian (Fascist). He's openly telling us to get in line or shut the fuck up. His ignorant followers love it because it makes them think they get some type of power in the bargain.
