"Et tu, TRUMP?" - Republican Party

[Philly]

Yes the media hates Trump. He's made them all look clueless this election. They have to cover him cause there's 3 24 hour cable news channels and if any of them don't cover him they'll lose viewers to the others that are.

And again, he's an extremely skilled snake oil salesman. Maybe the best since Huey Long. The problem is that his lies are just ignorant bullshit that people want to believe is true, but Clinton's dishonesty is more about being a career politician who is constantly reshaping her core values. Trump's values are "make America great again". Hard to argue with that if you meet him on his own playing field.

Finally, Indy, I can't help but notice you used to insist Sanders would never make it past Iowa and then just went radio silent when he did. Now that Clinton is back on top you're suddenly beating the drum again. If you want a higher standard you'll need to stand up for it occasionally.

[Indy]

No, I'm just offering my opinion, not "beating the drum" for anybody.

And while you've certainly championed Sanders of late, it's a bit much for you to take sole ownership of him when I was talking about Sanders (and Warren) years ago, before he ever ran, as examples of the only congresspeople I thought actually had integrity. Remember?

When he was just that crazy socialist guy from Vermont that most people didn't know about?

So you really don't need to be telling me to stand up for Bernie.

And pointing out the double standard for Hillary compared to Trump is not "beating the drum" for her--it's point out the failure of the media.

Though ive certainly been supporting Sanders longer than you, yes, (you only got on board with him after the 08 meltdown shit) I've seen you say positive things about him. Except all you say is "that'd be nice, but he'll never make it past Iowa or win any states". This was wrong of course. You show up every time to defend Clinton but wanted to make Sanders an afterthought.

But you can't just solely blame the media for Trump. They're giving the people what they want, which is tons of coverage for the crazy guy who says loose cannon shit every day

The reason your critiques ring hollow is that while you've been complaining about the media's love fest for trump (despite the fact that they obviously hate him but can't overcome his hype machine) you've not only neglected to ever mention the media's distortion about Clinton and Sanders but actually bought it wholesale. Clinton will probably win the nomination, but much of her support comes from the fact that people don't feel like Sanders can win, which was a self fulfilling media fabrication.

I've been a supporting of Bernie since before any of you f**k were born.
