Why Are We Allowing Trump to Ruin Our Country?
This is a good question, but it has many solid answers.
Let’s be careful with our assumptions. Almost half of voters think Trump is doing a good job and actually needs more power in order to make America great again.
Tons of eligible Americans do not register and vote.
Since we live in a representative democracy, we’re depending on our Congress to exert its strength under the Constitution.
Democrats/progressives tend to be less forceful and difficult to manage than the right wing.
The media isn’t blameless here, in the face of the ridiculous characterization of corporate media as favoring the Left.
Left wing media, my ass…
A reminder… How we got The BullyCoward’s first time around…
Over the first eleven months of 2015, combined campaign coverage of ABC, CBS and NBC for the 2016 White House race totaled more than 14 hours on weekday nightly newscasts.
Coverage of Republican candidates: NBC 227 minutes + ABC 185 + CBS 158-570 total
Coverage of Democrat candidates: NBC 97 minutes + ABC 66 + CBS 63 = 226 total
The BullyCoward alone received more than a quarter of all such campaign coverage (27%) totaling 234 minutes – more than all the Democrat candidates combined.
Hillary Clinton received a combined 113 minutes (plus another 88 minutes about her e-mails, and 29 minutes on her Benghazi testimony).
A total of 56 minutes went to Joe Biden’s decision not to run.
Bernie Sanders received 10 minutes total on all three networks combined.

It’s sad. I conclude that the mainstream media simply wants eyeballs, as they translate directly into money.
