First the media made Trump's joke of a candidacy into a winning campaign by overloading us with coverage of him and no one else. Then when he chose to sit out a debate, reporters breathlessly lead with that story INSTEAD OF THE SUBSTANCE OF THE DEBATE ITSELF. Then when the other candidates finally had a chance to talk about real issues, they talked about Trump and had to defend themselves from stupid and useless questions posed by the moderators and the public. Finally, when it came time for the media to report on the debate --after they reported on Trump's boycott AND his alternative programming at a benefit for veterans --still they chose to run only sounds bites that referred to the absent Trump and the attacks on each other.
It's almost impossible to learn anything from American tv news, and it's shameful.

From the good people at Google...
"We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow."
But no pressure.

Just 11 more months!
What do subjects like gun control, abortion, gay marriage and even immigration have to do with most Americans' quality of life, their financial security and the issues that will actually affect their futures?
Presidential Candidates/Blowhards: please talk about issues that means something to us!
What are your plans for creating new jobs and retraining citizens from old industries?
Will you develop a genuine foreign policy, maybe before we go to war next time?
If you want to dismantle Obamacare, what is your alternative to keep serious health problems from bankrupting otherwise responsible, hard-working Americans?
If you don't have answers to the questions above, please keep your mouths shut. Better yet, drop out of the race. AND keep your mouths shut. Thank you.
