And that has what do to do about the topic at hand?
You're making the assumption that media is liberal because most people who worked in media are Democrats. A half-dozen corporations own the US media market, and corporations tend to be conservative organizations.
No, what you see is the democrats having an active hand in the media.
I see corporations with active hand in shaping the media. If it leads, it bleeds. Why do you think the media was so eager to cheer George W.'s war in Iraq?
There might be right-wing talking points, but there sure is a democrat echo chamber.
What you see in the general media is a corporate echo chamber that pounces on anything and everything to drive up ratings. If Trump behaves himself after the next debate by not tweeting at 3AM in the morning, the media might go back to making up stuff about Hillary's health.
Trump's idea is to remove those incentives for moving jobs overseas, and put in policies that strongly encourage companies to do their work here instead.
Hillary has proposed the same thing. I trust her to appoint someone who will get the job done. Trump will be too busy putting his name on the White House.
Go do some research into why hundreds of millions of $ are flowing into the Clinton Foundation from the Middle East, go look at Trey Gowdy's cross examinations of Clinton, Comey and Lynch. Go look at how Hillary is connected to them. Go look at who owns her.
These manufactured scandals have failed to indict Hillary on any criminal charges.
Oh wait you're a Hillary supporter. What am I thinking? Even though the internet puts all the information is right under your nose you still aren;'t going to bother to get off your fat ass, inform yourself and do any actual fact checking, because you have the media to do your thinking for you so you can just stay on the couch and keep drinking the Hillary Kool-aid, and spout fact-free crap about echo chamber talking points. because that's the braindead American Way you've been sold and choose to follow because it means you don't have to actually do anything or actually use your brain.
All I have to do is keep repeating that these are right-wing echo chamber talking points and wait for your head to explode.
And here is the "Blame Bush" for explaining why Clinton is qualified, tying to justify it to a Libertarian who sees both Trump and Clinton as basically the same coin.
Uh, no. The Bush clan wanted Jeb to run for president. That didn't sit will with George W. and he ran for president first. Now Jeb is sidelined, perhaps permanently, from becoming president in the future. A real tragedy.
He needed 60% because of the DNC "Super Delegates" hand picked by the DNC to support Hillary.
Bernie Sanders ran an outsider campaign against the status quo — and lost. As for the other guy, I don't even remember his name because his campaign didn't amount to anything. If blaming Hillary floats your boat, be my guest.
Well in the reality that is everyones other than yours she is clearly a psychopathic power crazed loon, a pathological liar, a clear security risk, already in the pockets of foreign powers, and a fucking out and out criminal that is currently under investigation for possible treason and would have already been in jail by now had she not also have had the Director of the FBI and the Attorney General in her pocket because they are (almost) as corrupt as her.
Don't you ever get tired repeating the right-wing echo chamber talking points?
Since you phrased it as a statement, it must surely be so.
The electoral map is more specific. Trump has only one way to win the election by winning Florida (can go either way), Ohio (no Republican has ever won the presidency without this state), and Pennsylvania (last voted Republican in 1988). If he loses any one of these states, it's game over. Pennsylvania looks like its out of reach for Trump. The media floated Maine and the Western states as alternatives in the electoral college, but those are long shots in comparison to winning the trifecta.
The fact that she had to enlist the DNC to help get her election rigged enough to beat Bernie isn't much better (it is actually worse) than Trump beating 16.
The problem that Bernie Sanders had was that he needed to win every election after Super Tuesday with 60% of the votes. He failed to get the votes. The only way he could have won was to eliminate the super delegates that's been part of the Democratic nomination process since the 1970's. He failed to get that changed at the convention. You can't blame that on Hillary.
You aren't a RINO, you are confused.
Correct. That's why I changed my party registration. Moderate conservatives are no longer welcomed in the Republican Party.
And you link to liberal rag Newsweek which was sold for one dollar. Talk about bad business and living in a liberal echo chamber.
Again, you are entitled to your fact-free opinion. That doesn't change the reality that Trump is a horrible businessman who would make a horrible president.
Senator and Secretary of State. Many men have ran for president with less qualifications than that, and no one accused them of getting elected because of their wife. Trump's only qualification was that he beaten the weakest slate of candidates that the Republican Party has ever fielded.
As a moderate conservative, you can vote third Party, and register your vote as a protest against the other two.
No quite. I got tired of being called a RINO that I switched my party registration from Republican to Democratic last year. I'm voting and donating for the presidential candidate that I believe is qualified to be POTUS.
Like that failed business man Warren Buffet who lost in one day.
Warren Buffet suffered a paper loss on a stock that he held for the long term. If he was to sell his position in Wells Fargo, he would probably have substantial profits over his initial investment.
Trump has already said he outsources due to the way American law is structured and that he plans on working to change the law to fix that.
American law doesn't require that Trump outsource his work overseas. There are many businesses in the US are that proud to bear the label "Made in USA."
There are a lot of ignorant Slashdotters with absolutely zero knowledge of how business actually works.
You seemed to be objectively bashing trump, then you defended Clinton and lost all credibility.
Clinton is the only credible candidate for POTUS. That doesn't mean she isn't a deeply flawed person. As a moderate conservative, I have no one else to vote for.
If someone in a trench coat inside an alley offers to sell you a Samsung Toilet for an amazing price, run away. You do not want to own an exploding toilet.
My company (a Fortune 500 member) used to offer up to a half dozen different healthcare plans through several providers. As of this year, we were down to one with two plans, one a "Cadillac". For next year, we no longer have any options...just a single plan (not the Cadillac), and my doctor won't accept that one.
Strange. The small company I worked for used to have a single health plan that would cost me $500 per month. Now we have a half-dozen health plans and I'm paying $150 per month for better coverage. I think your Fortune 500 company is screwing you over to make a political statement about ObamaCare.

Thanks for proving you really are nothing more than a stuck needle.

Or that 90% of beltway reporters either vote democrat or are registered democrats, or that 80% or so of reporters in general are democrats.
Donald Trump made the assumption that Lester Holt, the NBC moderator for the first debate, was a Democrat. Holt is actually a registered Republican.

Don't you ever get tired of living in total denial and narrow-minded ignorance?
Even as a Republican I never bought into the right-wing echo chamber.
For example [...]
There you go again with the right-wing echo chamber talking points.
Newsweek was indeed sold for a single dollar.
So what? I'm not the one harping about Newsweek.
A fact free opinion would be a statement about Trump along the lines of "would make a horrible president".
The way Trump runs his businesses and his campaign is great way to determined how he would his Administration. Both are horrible examples.
Four of his companies, out of many he has run, filed for bankruptcy over the past 20 years or so.
Trump lost a billion dollars on his 1995 tax return. Fortunately, it wasn't his money to lose. The banks and investors got soaked for those losses.
I'm no Trump supporter, just stating fact based opinions.
While ignoring other facts that don't support your opinion.
He needed 60% because of the DNC "Super Delegates" hand picked by the DNC to support Hillary.
Bernie Sanders ran an outsider campaign against the status quo — and lost. As for the other guy, I don't even remember his name because his campaign didn't amount to anything. If blaming Hillary floats your boat, be my guest.

Bwahahahaha, WTF are you smoking?
Reality. Have you ever tried it?

Holding a job and sucking at it is not a credible qualification for a promotion.
That didn't stop George W. from leapfrogging Jeb into the presidency.
And you link to liberal rag Newsweek which was sold for one dollar. Talk about bad business and living in a liberal echo chamber.
Again, you are entitled to your fact-free opinion. That doesn't change the reality that Trump is a horrible businessman who would make a horrible president.
Define "credible" in any objective way.

and many believe the Clintons' aren't crooks
You are entitled to your fact-free opinion.
And many believe that Donald Trump hires only Americans, and doesn't send large amounts of jobs to foreign countries like China, Africa, etc.
And that he was also a successful businessman.

Just believing that doesn't make them right.
You haven't spent much time in the right-wing echo chamber, where every lie is believable and truthiness is optional.

There can only be one Snowden. Everyone else is a pretender.
Who's your daddy and what does he do?
What a load of crap. VA medical has been in the shitter for decades, and the government has done next to nothing to fix it.
Starting wars on a credit card doesn't help either.
