    So, what's that say about Democrat's? It says they couldn't amass enough support in 85% of the US to defeat 26%. Ouch!

    What it actually does is to put your "...who occupy 85% of the country" into perspective.

    Donald Trump may well be the worst thing that has ever happened to the United States in its history...and that includes the Civil War.

    We'll see how it works out.

    It could end up being catastrophic...but I hope I am wrong.

    You FAILED because you don't understand the stark difference between "political ACTIVIST journalism" and adopting "political STANCE journalism".

    Political STANCE journalism happens ALL THE TIME! Prime examples are WAPO (left), WSJ (right), MSNBC (left) and FauxNoise (right). All that the NYT has done is declared that they will adopt a leftward political stance in that OPINION article. To allege that means abandoning "journalist rules and integrity" is utter hogwash on your part. Being critical of the administration in power has always been and will always be covered by the 1st Amendment rules of freedom of expression.

    Political ACTIVISM journalism is completely DIFFERENT to political STANCE journalism.

    Convicted criminal James O'Keefe engaged in political ACTIVIST journalism by deliberately and maliciously altering videos to falsely portray organizations and individuals as saying and doing things that there were NOT actually doing.

    Until you can PROVE that the NYT is deliberately and maliciously altering any video or transcript in order to portray a false impression of Trump you have SQUAT!

    And no, the occasional mistake that is reversed with an admission of error does not count. The terms "deliberate and malicious" must apply in order for it to qualify as political activist journalism.

    Since you obviously don't even comprehend the terminology that you are using I am not expecting you to be able to provide anything at all that supports your bogus allegation about the NYT.

    Have a nice day!

    Trump has attacked 3 pillars!

    The electoral process, the media and the judiciary.

    He has also attacked the integrity of the Intelligence agencies which are one of the primary means by which this nation is protected from it's enemies.

    Trump is un-American and quite literally hates everything that actually makes America great.

    You're delusional. The press is free. Free to give their preferred candidate the debate questions ahead of the debate. Free to blame Hillary's loss on Russia without a shred of proof.

    You are right, Derideo. I left out the attacks on the judiciary and the intelligence agencies.

    That really is not something the president should be doing.
