Why does Trump get away with not

bringing up anything or any solution of national importance? Why isn't that pointed out more?

I'm tired of him putting down people and 'my fellow americans' applauding that.

He hasn't talked about one issue seriously or with any depth. It makes me wonder whether he has a handle on anything other than his ego.

They are about problems. So the more problems he finds the better for him.

"Democrats are motivated by specific policy deliverables while Republicans are motivated by broader philosophical principles."

Really? Does that include the principle to never engage in what they might have been hired for to begin with?

Too damn lame.

As usual.

The ratings aren't high enough. The concentrate on all the he said/she said because controversy gets people watching.

There are no true news bureaus these days just entertainment, cross-talk. No plain facts and information.

Notice Hillary never brings up a policy idea but only responds when absolutely necessary.

All the 24/7 cable news stations that say we have to fill airtime aren't really trying. They are, in truth, saying the AP only had a few U.S. stories today so we are going to fill the rest of the time with Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough. We wouldn't want to actually report about the 39 Thai fisherman fighting for their life in freezing waters. BTW, did you hear Lindsay Lohan wore a too short skirt today!
