I'm pretty sure I am. I've mentioned assassinating Jill Stein, overthrowing the government, and committing acts of terrorism on here already.

Just curious, what would you consider "media worthy" in regards to what comes out of Trump's mouth because to me it seems like you'll regard anything he says as "just something people are blowing up". What will it take for you to realize that the man is getting away with saying things he shouldn't say.

I mean it more in terms of what we should care about with a presidential candidate. I think there's been twenty minutes of policy discussion in his whole campaign and the rest is about things he said that are allegedly outrageous.

Getting away with it? That's a weird way to put it. Is saying bigoted things illegal? Is making cheap jokes illegal?

Fair enough. Though, there's several videos showcasing things he has said that no presidential candidate should ever say. And yes, I say getting away with it because if he's going to point out the things Hillary does and "gets away with it" the same should be done to Trump. However, when it's thrown toward Trump, it's disregarded judging by the fact that he's still in the running.

So, yes, I meant getting away with it literally as no presidential candidate should be able to get away with the things he says.

I don't think that it matters enough to almost entirely ignore the faults of the other candidate and policy in general, which is what the media is doing.

Yeah, but that's always been the motive of the media and if people really dig into as much as they do, nothing will get done. But, there's gotta be a certain point where if a person is recorded as saying something offensive, the blowing up is understandable. It's on a case by case basis.

Nah, this is modern gotcha journalism. After people became blatantly aware of yellow journalism the field started to get a pretty nice self-enforced code of ethics, but as news had to become more entertaining, it got enforced less and less often.

And on pretty much all of these cases, what was "offensive" wasn't even that bad and just reactionary democrats shouting about how the most recent thing the other guy said was really evil.

I'm forwarding this, along with your name and address to the Secret Service. Never should have bought that fuzz box from me dude.

If you can contact them, they're not very secret, are they?

You highly under estimate the IQ level of most Trump supporters. Trump's followers have reached cult status and they follow every word he speaks like gospel.
