No lie, that's kinda weird.
Until snopes confirms or denies that I don't buy it. It would be a bigger uproar than just mentioned on two websites
And btw, Donald Trump has also virtually killed the political discourse on this site.
Shouldn't they?I will say that there is no question the media is going after Trump more aggressively.
I really think Trump doesn't want to win, but just finish close enough to blame the media and the system, which he is already doing.But he's also putting softballs on a tee for them.
On Sunday Hillary once again lied to the American people about her emails and insulted the mother of a slain Benghazi official by implying that she's a liar. Media could be all over that, but instead Trump has to go barf all over the place about the Khan's and give the media an easy out.
Shouldn't they?

There is a story out there about Trump calling a major PR person connected with him in the spring of '15 and telling this person that he was gonna run for President but wanted to finish 2nd (in the R nomination, I assume). If this is true, and I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, it would explain everything that has followed.
Trump's latest actions are not from a man really trying to win - Insulting the fire chief, suddenly praising Obama in a major interview, bashing the Gold Star family, lying about the NFL, and even hinting that he won't debate Hillary. He still refuses to release his tax info or create an organized campaign machine, etc. He doesn't want to win, just to make a lot of noise for himself. The idea of actually winning probably scares him to death.
So far, he's played the American people like a violin. His only miscalculation so far is that the Republican candidates were more inept that he thought.
A decent checkers player is enough to fool the forty % of the electorate who believe Fox News. It would take less than 48 hrs to convince them that Hillary killed JFK.I honestly just think Trump is an idiot. But I guess there is the chance that he's an elite 4d chess player.
No. I truly believe that. Hillary has earned just as much scrutiny.

Hillary has had plenty of bad press too and Trump usually the maker of his bad press.Hillary has been taken pillory-to-post throughout the campaign on a variety of things, but particularly the e-mail scandal. There was constant coverage of that. There was ample coverage of the DNC hack and how that made her and her allies look. During the primary season, every charge made by Sanders elicited an investigative piece from the press. And lest we forget: Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.
It's not Hillary's fault that Trump manages to say something particularly odd (and sometimes stupid) when he opens his mouth. It just hasn't stuck until now due to the novelty of his candidacy.
I somewhat agree with Runnin in that I don't know how badly Trump really wants to win. I saw the same thing with Ventura in Minnesota. I always believed he wanted to get close enough to legitimize his stance as a critic without having to get into the messy business of governing. Could be the same with Trump.
If that turns out to be true, I will admit that Trump is a 4D Chess Ninja Champion.I'm with you here... I don't think Trump wants to win. A friend of mine has been on the conspiracy theory of "he's in cahoots with Hilary" from day one... and I'm about 70% there myself

As for Ventura, didn't he win?
