...wanna know why trump was so easy to elect? IMHO.... go back YEARS and watch all the media coverage of trump.. all the guest spots, all the interviews, all the mentions, all the admiration. and for WHY? Cuz he was a rich playboy? The Media..and America...built this mans ego and visibility.. and acceptability... up so much that he was well known (for what?) and a shoo in for under-informed folks who had been spoon fed Trump for years!!! Bannons on this same track..altho most of his coverage is negative. PLEASE don't make this mans appearance on tv so common we don't even feel repulsed by him. He needs to be marginalized now...not 10 years from now when hes on the GOP or some other ticket.

(1,752 posts)Steph MIller or Alan Colmes (who was still alive then) or even Thom Harmann - it was all trump, all the time. AD NAUSEUM. Often in the context of laughing at him, but still.... it did help to desensitize us and make it feel inevitbable.
The day after HRC & DJT had a mtg with military, I turned on Steph hoping to hear what HRC said and heard NOT ONE WORD from her in the 40 mins I had it on - it was non-stop trump clips and them yukking it up like he was funny or something. Even at the time I didnt see any humor in it and turned it off. Even now I just dont want to listen to anything that scumbag says. After a point, you know what they're going to say so why torture yourself.
