    now this… is some dumb shit

    the way it's phrased seems to reinforce the delusion that trump can't win, which worked out great the first time

      Remember after he won there are was a slew of articles like 'did we help Donald trump by covering him so much and so sensationally' and then they proceeded to do the exact same thing for 5 years

        The Democrats ordered the media to cover Trump. The media obeyed. It's like something that would happen in a corrupt shithole dictatorship called "The Democratic Republic of Dumbfuckistan".

        They didn't even have a gun to their heads or anything. They did it of their own free will. This is our history. We have to deal with this going forward.

    They're right, everything is 50/50. It either happens or it doesn't.

      We're no better off with Joe, the brainless "swing voter" may be ready for red flavor again

        swing voters tend to vote whether the last 4 months were better than the 4 months before that for them. If the last 4 months were bad they vote for the challenger.

      you won't be getting any Pulitzers until your journalism helps start a war, mister!!!1

      The famed “Pulitzer Prize” is named after Joseph Pulitzer, a war-propaganda peddler who helped the US acquire its first overseas territories in the 1890s:

      The Spanish-American War, what boosters called a “splendid little war,” began in 1898. … President McKinley sent a warship to Cuba as a precaution, but in February 1898 that ship, the USS Maine, blew up in Havana, killing 250 U.S. sailors. The cause of the explosion was unknown — and it would later be revealed to have been an accident — but both Hearst and Pulitzer published a cable from the captain of the battleship to the assistant secretary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt, informing him that the disaster was no accident. (The cable was later revealed to be a fake.) [1]
