What Hillary Really Did
Funny thing: if you hold Donald Trump up next to principled conservatives, he looks like a monster; hold him up next to the news media, he looks like a god. The people who “report” the “news,” are at this point so base, so low, so dishonest, so openly sinister that all Trump has to do is stand next to them and his image improves a hundredfold. So as the media rush to defend Hillary Clinton against Trump’s latest attacks, here’s a point-by-point explanation of why Trump is right about her: she stinks.

Hillary + Bill = The Grim Reaper and The Grim Raper.
There was a Star Trek episode in which no matter what weapon was used on the creature it would get stronger , it was being nourished by the energy they were shooting at it. This appears to be Trump’s relationship with the press , all the usual weapons they’ve been using for decades seem to make him stronger. I believe much of Trump’s support is not so much pro-Trump as anti-press, as much of the public has come to realize that they are lying Democrat operatives, covering for the Clintons, protecting the queen at all costs and attacking Republicans for the most minor, if not entirely made up offenses, while excusing Democrats for far worse. This was obvious to me as far back as the 1960 race, but with the advent of the Internet more and more people are seeing it for what it is. Trump is running against the press just as much as against Hillary.
This year’s election is reminiscent of the one back in 1828 between John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson in which vile lies were told about each candidate. The big difference, of course, is that in this election, vile truths are being told about the candidates.
