    I understand your point but the tenor of Trump rallies isn't some media narrative or a stereotype. It's real and actual. Trump himself has advocated punching people, soft pedaled his rejection of white supremacists, advocated torture and the killing of the families of alleged terrorists, and claimed Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers. He was also a leading Obama birther and has tried to appeal to angry white America, call it the RocketsLegend project, with his slogans and nonsense. It's not surprising his supporters consist of people ready to get into fistfights that spew hateful rhetoric. He's appealing to hate, fear, doom and gloom, and the worst instincts of human beings. His rallies are the result of an implementation of the historically successful tactics of power hungry maniacs.

    Giuliani spent the '80s and '90s jailing whole crime families and cleaning up Times Square, then he ****ed his assistant and turned into Clayton Williams.

    Trump has appointed Paul Manafort to be his "convention manager". He will be in charge of all of the delegate and convention related issues, effectively taking these responsibilities away from Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski.

    A little late, to be sure, but Manafort has done this before and does apparently have a reputation of someone who is competent, if perhaps also a little "long in the tooth." Manafort first served in this role as Gerald Ford's convention manager for the Republican's last "open convention" back in 1976 (40 years ago). So he is probably a bit old, but he does have a lot of experience doing this.

    Media campaign has gone supernova against Trump. I don't like Trump but I don't like this either. It's wrong. Report the news/truth, don't make it.

    When it comes to Trump, the truth IS negative. Honestly this is nothing, it's going to get so much worse as it goes on. Trump is just total clown shoes as a candidate.

    Trumps campaign is running out of steam.

    I think he's toast.

    His campaign will be over if he can't get at least 50% in New York. New York is pretty much the perfect state for him because they absolutely eat up that cranky 5 year old douchebag routine like nowhere else.

    If he can't make it there, he can't make it anywhere.

    Yeah I don't think either side (right or left) trusts media in this country.

    Colorado GOP said no to Trump. All their delegates pledged with Cruz.

    Hypocrite garbage. No wonder why majority Americans don't trust the media.

    You feel better, Rockets03?

    Nice try but not my candidate, so you fail. Plus, I and many others know The Donald is a blow hard but he's The Donald. But this is major media publication!!! We live in a democratic society in which the media has a big role and responsibility. This is a major failure.

    This is too similar too state controlled media and NO ONE should be okay with that. I don't care how much you hate Trump this crap is scary. Let Trump lose on his own accord, he's more than capable of that. Trust the people of this country to vote. Trust the laws of this country and the Separation of Powers to protect our great democracy.

    If you could see through your Trump hate, this would make you very angry. Unfortunately you and many others hate someone so much that you're not able to see how wrong this is.
