Although my mother tongue isn't English, I've was trying to chose not such a simplistic term.
One can't truly say, his behave since his nomination, his scandals after the nomination, his "alternative truce", his grabbing of attention is -relatively- "normal" for an -average- politician - worldwide. IMHO, he is more than embarrassing as an US-president.

The "liberal" media is a myth. All the major media providers are corporate owned and controlled by Republicans. Even the supposedly left wing CNN reported extensively on Donald Trump's activities in the last election. What reporting they did do on Mrs. Clinton rehashed the email and Benghazi "scandals." Rarely would they report on Mrs. Clinton delivering a speech in a battleground state that laid out her proposals to better the lot of the working poor. It seemed to me as if CNN and the networks were subtly working to get Trump elected, while Fox handled the cheer leading for his base.

I don't often agree with you, LL, but I reckon you have nailed it here. Hillary Clinton had an awful lot to say to Goldman Sachs. but was not at all willing to share this content with the rest of the world. No; I can't agree that she was mis-represented by the "media". I think the voters saw what they were being offered pretty much as it was. Nothing.

Yep - and so many were horrified by the cries of clintongoldmansacks and have been mum on all the Goldman Sacks people now working in and around the White House. Clinton would not have been good. But far far better than the schmuck we have now.

you have to understand, in the USA there are two kinds of politics - real world, real people, and the bullshit you see/hear/read on TV, web, print etc. Real world - Reagan was the best president ever, Obama/Carter/JFK the worst. Nixon was good, but watergate is all he's remembered for. Ford, Bush Sr and Jr, Carter, Clinton, all worthless do nothings. Trump did one thing that love him or hate him, is the best thing to happen to the USA since 1988 - he has the wheels of industry turning again. There is UNREAL construction and real business being done for the first time since 1992. That's real life, no bullshit, 100% honest nonpartisan truth. The worst thing that ever happened to the USA was JFK/LBJ... everything that's ever been wrong in this country since 1960 can be laid at their feet.

Y'all have bought the biased media spin on these issues. Hillary Clinton has been trashed in the press ever since her husband was elected president. She is no doubt a very tough customer, as any woman married to and deeply in love with a serial philanderer must be. There are reports, which I very much believe, that she can really be a bitch at times. There are also many reports that she is also a warm and caring person with a great sense of humor. In sum, she is a complex and multifaceted person. The press prefers simple narratives.
The press is a very funny animal. Ted Williams, the great Red Sox hitter and outfielder, routinely got negative press. Yet, it becomes very clear in his biographies and other accounts of the period that his teammates and fellow Marines adored the guy. |

Hillary Clinton had nothing to say about giving America back to the American people. As we have seen, anything Donald Trump had to say was empty noises; but he at least was speaking about economic issues on which Mrs Clinton was silent. Her silence and her failure to reach out to the millions who have been marginalised in the USA since their employment went away to other countries are the reasons why her base did not turn out; she was not actually their candidate or their representative at all. She herself spent her campaign time on telling everyone what a heel Mr Trump is, and "I am not Donald Trump" was not really a strong argument to vote in favour of her. I cannot say I am surprised that Mr Trump is a rentboy for Goldman Sachs; but I note that he did not "earn" millions in fees for speaking to them, and she did.
