    This guy pretty well encapsulates what I suspect most serious, traditional and principled Republicans are thinking right now. Not to mention myself and the great majority of the country and its allies. For the purposes of thread creation I will say that I agree with him and THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!

    p.s. And from FOX, no less. Will wonders never cease?

    Trump, Trump, Trump!!!!

    seriously, it's garbage like this that actually convinced me to think he might be a good President. He's the anti-candidate. We've tried those moron politicians, and they have been abominable. Time to go with somebody who has actually done something with his life, unlike your bought and paid for obamas and clintons and bushes.

    What a complete horse(*)(*)(*)(*) article.

    Fox can go (*)(*)(*)(*) itself. You'd think theyd spend more time helping the Republican candidate.

    Its simple if Trump wants to win he needs a few things to happen.

    He needs to sound more Presidental.... Dont say anything that will be spun

    Attack Hilary on her record... Dont get into the women baiting crap.

    Have plenty of adds showing clips of these "protestors". Make that a focus.... Keep reminding Independents and moderates what the country is going to look like under Hilary.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Fox is just as pro establishment as is MSNBC.... They pretend to give people opposite options to watch but its all full of (*)(*)(*)(*).

    Why should they?
    Why should ANY media outlet "help" any candidate?
    Granted you are used they doing that, lying, distorting facts, ignoring the truth and all to tell you what you want to hear, and now they aren't, so your pissy about it, but the bottom line is "why should they"?

    'Anti" candidates seldom make good leaders.

    Not only that, but anyone who thinks Donald Trump won't peddle the Presidency to the highest fat cat bidders who will hand him a check. Donald Trump has always been for sale.

    If you don't understand that, you're conning yourself.

    Donald Trump is first, last and always a whore, and always has been.

    We will see... His detractors have been saying he would be another also-ran candidate since he announced his bid for the presidency, and now look where things stand. Hillary is the one that might have a brokered convention, while the republicans are already set.

    Nobody cares about being called bigots and racists any more, dude.

    It establishes two things as fact.

    The first, as has anyway already been established and is now the accepted reality, the USA is no longer a democracy but a plutocracy.

    The second is that there are a huge amount of people that are incredibly poorly politically educated or politically aware to the extent that the only way of changing the above is to prevent stupid people from being eligible to vote

    Trump isn't going to do most of that.

    First of all, he doesn't know enough about government, world affairs or politics to sound presidential, no matter how much coaching he gets.

    Second, he doesn't listen to anyone. In a debate with Hillary Clinton, he will end up resorting to his make it up and wing it approach. While Clinton will sit there and calmly watch Trump make a fool of himself.

    Right now, Trump has 100% of the votes of the low information crowd. The people who treat politics like a game show, and easily respond to simple slogans and made up nonsense. Trump has got this far with no coherent policy. He has taken every side on most issues.

    Women baiting is what he will do. He is a misogynist, and has made no secret of it.

    He will continue to pander to bigots and flat earth types. He will continue to be condemned all over the world.

    And there will be no shortage of ads showing Trump inciting violence.

    It's too bad that no one made an ad showing Trump asking people at his rallies to pledge alliegance to Donald Trump.

    In the United States, we pledge allegience to the flag and to the republic for which it stands.

    In Nazi Germany, they pledged allegience to Der Fuhrer.

    Your post exemplifies what is wrong with American politics. Neither Fox nor MSNBC should be in the tank for any political candidate or party. When and if networks do that they admit that they are part of the ESTABLISHMENT and will do the bidding of the establishment.

    If you support a network being in the tank for a candidate or a party you by implication support the loss of your own freedom and next you will give up your rights.

    Why should they not write biased articles about the candidate most of the readers will vote for?

    I don't know...

    Every single person on this planet has a bias towards anything. Pretending somewhere, someone doesnt, is ignorant.

    I think Establishment Republicans would be better served by putting some effort towards introspection.

    There are reasons why they have lost the rank-and-file.

    Hillary should have a blast, accusing someone else of planning to sell the office they hold.

    Geeze, what did Obama know? Who does Obama listen to? Who is Hillary going to listen to? Didn't they tell her not to use her BlackBerry? Didn't she sign papers to use only government server? Did she listen? Nope!
