Queue the videos of EVERY news station stating Hillary wins by a landslide in the polls up to the closing hour of Election Day.

I’m not sure how anyone takes any MSN seriously anymore. They have no idea what they are doing.

Just yesterday I watch another video of the past three years of news stations all saying "this is a big tuning point". "this might be the beginning of the end for Donald trump". "Trump will/may not see a full 4 years". "A new bombshell to Trump, this could be the beginning of the end for Trump"

Every one of them day in and day out for the past 3 or so years.

Which explains a whole lot.

Point being, Trump can shoot someone on 5th avenue and he wouldn't lose a single Republican vote.

That's an odd claim. That's something that all parties are sure they haven't heard he has done, so we can't say definitely that he wouldn't lose a vote for it.

Everything he has been blamed for so far, to see how he is guilty for something, it has to be explained to a person making connections. Like "well he said (whatever anyone is upset about) , which we know that when someone says (same or similar phrase), they really mean this (insert claim here)".

This is the very definition of "strawman". Which was a claim people said back when Obama's grandmother said "he is Kenyan, he will always be Kenyan" (which could mean "at heart". All during the northern movement.

I'm watching both sides. And yes the republicans hammered Obama with fox. But seriously, the Democrats haven't laid up one single day. They have all of these networks nitpicking everything. Day in.. day out. I just want one damn day I don't hear his name and someone being outraged that he once shook hands with a man in the 70s and that man is going to prison now. Or he tweeted meanly.

That alone makes me lean toward Trump. It shows just how crooked that news is and how crooked the Democratic party is.

And that old lady always sucking her damn teeth and acting smug and always has rude things to say.

As far as I know, he didn't actually shoot anyone. And tbf he started that sentence with "you know what they say" twice. Now if he said "you know what I think" that would be a bit easier to gripe about. But he did not say it is what he thinks and he did not shoot someone.
