    Whats most important is the bizarre amnesia regarding everything trump touches turning to shit. Press is not doing its job, the people who think anyone willing to work in the clown show wpnt be a clown is bizarre.

    The smart money is dumber everyday thinking facts will win.

      You could make a killing outsmarting them if you think that.

      The media are doing the job they are bought and paid to do: promote Republicanism. Just look at all the media consolidation! Even the somewhat independent NYT is weak on this.

      (The media you actually want for this case are the FT, which has ended up looking weirdly leftist by comparison to the rightward swing of everyone else, and, despite the ownership, Bloomberg. You can't feed business customers news which makes them lose money, they tend to notice when you've misled them.)
