The "47%" and the "deplorables"

Political Discussion

  • Why am I not hearing about Hillary's 'deplorables' comment on a daily basis if I turn on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc? It seems at least on the same level as Mitt's "47%" comment which, if I remember correctly, pretty much ran non-stop 4 years ago.

    The morning after the 3rd debate, CNN was running with two themes: Trump will not concede (I don't remember him saying that exactly) and how he was constantly interrupting Hillary. Funny though, one of the clips of him interrupting was actually him interrupting her interruption of him after the moderator turned it back over to Trump. Plus, if we watched it back and actually counted, she may have interrupted him more than he did her.

    "What a nasty woman" followed an equally ignorant comment on her part about how she will be raising the Social Security tax on the rich, "assuming Donald can't figure a way to get out of it" or something like that. The man has legally filed his taxes as per the laws in place. Do you know anybody who sends the government more than they owe them??

    Is the election rigged? In terms of votes, I doubt it. Although to say there is no voter fraud is a silly comment. There are documented cases of voter fraud, the only issue is to what extent it really exists. Is it rigged in terms of media coverage and the mainstream media's clear bias for the left? Absolutely!!

  • Some people in Texas have reported that after selecting R downballot that their vote for POTUS has changed to Clinton. Rigged?...maybe

    And otherwise - the deplorable thing has been hammered pretty hard.

    CNN is openly biased, shouldn't cont them as a reliable news source

    I think you are spot on. The liberal MSM because they are in control of all of network television except Fox sets the narratives on the news stories. I have made a point to watch the national evening news CBS, NBC and ABC and they have gone weeks and weeks without running one positive story on Trump and when they are forced to cover any negative stories with Clinton they give the coverage bare bones minimum. Wikileaks has proven what most of us have already known for years that there is some collusion going on between the liberal media and the democratic party.

  • This apparently has been brewing for decades. Just last year or two, we have been bringing up the

    drive by liberal media being in the tank for dems......

    and nitwits like heck denied it to the end of their stay here.

    It's out in the open now. I watch an old WWII movie...the story of the FBI and tracking

    communist agents...etc...

    and it's like comminist subversive activity isn't illegal anymore, and it's now called the democratic party.
