CNN (Zucker) is now probably regretting all the free cable time it gave Trump.
They made him a legitimate contender IMO.

They wanted him to to be the Repub candidate, because they were sure he would lose to Hillary.

I agree, but some of us knew that he could be a dangerous candidate (snake oil salesman) and had good chances at beating H--> by appealing to white male voters.

Or perhaps it was the spectacle that DJT created dissing every other candidate on TV which of course every TV network loves.

"If President Donald Trump was upset about his inauguration crowd size not being as big as President Barack Obama’s, he might not want to get a look at his State of the Union numbers.
Trump pulled in just over 40 million viewers across the major four broadcast and three cable television networks on Tuesday evening — about eight million short of Obama’s first State of the Union address in 2010, and less than his own address to a joint session of Congress last year." Vox

Poor 'Deadbeat' Donnie just doesn't stack up no matter how hard he tries.

Sad.

One of the goals of the onslaught of sheer crap, besides deflect and discredit, is to wear down the opposition thru sheer overload. It's important to not let that happen.

Trump flat out lies about crowd size yet again, with zero evidence.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pol...-rating-381266

What sort of personality defect does this guy have? It’s very easy to disprove his claims, yet he persists.

Whell, you’ve told a lot of whoppers, and you support this lying POS every chance you get. What is it about you and Donny that you feel compelled to lie?

How do you know a politician is lying?

It's lips are moving.

I guess you missed the previous WH occupant’s eight years of exemplary truth telling, then.
