Donald Trump Makes History With Zero Major Newspaper Endorsements

The death rattle of the newspaper industry.

 

[indiucky]

No, he doesn't have some "master plan" like the supporters have to believe. Ground game matters.

I don't believe there is a "master plan"...I believe this election year is different...Hillary should be winning..She is not...She is out spending Trump about 30-1 yet nothing changes...

I have never seen an election like this...I hope to never see one again like this...But the historian in me is proud to be a witness and participate in the process...

In every election I have known you are right..."Ground game matters".....I believe this year is an exception to the rule...

Not because I am some rabid Trump supporter...It's just something I feel but can not quantify...

Donald Trump Makes History With Zero Major Newspaper Endorsements

The death rattle of the newspaper industry.

I honestly don't see how one is connected to the other. Do you think if the newspaper business were thriving they'd be endorsing Trump? They're dying out because paper is a less convenient way to get the news for a fast growing portion of the public. They're not endorsing Trump for reasons much more obvious than that.

 

[pudly]

They're not endorsing Trump for reasons much more obvious than that.

Yes, for the same reason that the half of the country thinks that the media has stopped representing politics and society honestly.

 

[Alpo]

From WaPo comments. I have no idea of veracity.

538
Clinton 79.6%
Trump 20.4%

The Upshot
Clinton 82%
Trump 18%

Huff Post
Clinton 84.1 %
Trump 15.7%

Predictwise
Clinton 81%
Trump 19%

Russia publicly going to bat for Trump. Why?

Russia's government lodged a formal complaint last month with the United Nations over a top U.N. official's condemnations of Donald Trump

Because every other country in the world is publicly going to bat for Clinton and Russians are known contrarians???

Looks like a HRC slam dunk no reason to even bother voting.
It appears from all information given from mainstream media its over.
Guess I won't get a chance to join the Deportation force.
But I will strive to get a position in the "gun safety program"

 

[indiucky]

I don't think so.

Why are the Democrats so worried??? If what you and GP are saying is true then why all of this???? Why the cast of the popular show "Empire" putting together a well directed plea for Hillary??? Why would the stars if "Will and Grace" reunite for a new episode blasting Trump?

Why the fear from the Democrats??? I can't explain it other than they believe he is going to win or at least has a chance of winning..

IMHO of course...

Biden Tells Rally Crowd: I Know Some of You Are Not Crazy About Hillary - Breitbart

Friday in Bristol, PA, while campaigning for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged the lack of enthusiasm for his party’s nominee.
Biden said, “I know some of you, and some of the people you are trying to convince are not crazy about Hillary. I know that. Okay. I think she has gotten an unfair deal. But the truth of the matter is there is a lot of people—but folks don’t , don’t wake up on November 9 and find out we lost Pennsylvania by 2000 votes and say if I only. If I had only taken my neighbor. If I only gone. If I only. If I only. And there has been a lot of elections. Remember Al Gore.”

Biden could have stopped at "I know some of you are not crazy."

Well that's a separate issue, but yes.

Clinton carpet bombing swing-states with ads just as Trump exiting because he's cash-poor while re-litigating Central Park 5.

No, he doesn't have some "master plan" like the supporters have to believe.

Edit: FL voter-registration forms submitted by party

DEM = 488,000
GOP = 60,000

Ground game matters.

Trump’s just lulling Clinton into a true sense of security.

In every election I have known you are right..."Ground game matters".....I believe this year is an exception to the rule...

Trump has ONE FIELD OFFICE in Florida. With 90 days left. In the fourth largest state in the country. A must-win battleground.

Obama had 106 in 2012; Romney had 43.

I know you see the race differently... but does this sound like a candidate that wants to win? What's the excuse for not trying?

Looks like a HRC slam dunk no reason to even bother voting.
It appears from all information given from mainstream media its over.

Correction - This isn't MSM saying it's over. They're still pretty much acting like it's a legit race. This is looking at the facts (no ground game, polls plummeting, ****-poor debating) and coming up with the conclusion that he's not going to win because he isn't trying to win. No MSM involved here.

Trump losing is not some MSM conspiracy.

Clinton Campaign Admits Hillary Used Same Tax Avoidance "Scheme" As Trump | Zero Hedge

Don't hold your breath waiting for Tim Kaine to call Hillary unpatriotic for doing the exact same thing Trump did to offset tax liability. If you do you might hit your head on the coffee table after passing out.

It never was about the deduction. I don't know why people concentrate on that. The issue is that it was a "REAL" loss of almost a billion dollars. A genius business man, self-proclaimed, who loses a billion dollars of his own money is an idiot.

I have lots of friends and family that lost their own money in the housing market crash...They are not idiots....There was a Wall Street bail out where scores of companies lost billions upon billions of dollars and the Government bailed them out...Hillary is the one that kept harping on "He didn't pay his taxes!!! He didn't pay taxes" and now one week later when people have realized EVERYONE takes that deduction the story among the Hillary supporters is "Oh no...It was NEVER about the taxes...It's that he's a terrible businessman...An "idiot" no less..."

Come one Alpo...No need to call someone an idiot because they lost money in a real estate bubble burst that crippled the nation....

It seems Hillary (not an idiot...No need to name call just because I disagree with her...) has not received the memo regarding it "not being about him paying his taxes"...

This wasn't a housing crash, Indy. It was casino investments. In the 80's and 90's during a growth period.

You need to rethink what you've said. What happened to homeowners in the 2007+ period is NOT the same as what happened to an overextended casino/real estate mogul in the 90's.

In the arena there are many ups and downs...I will NEVER call someone an idiot for business losses(especially after 2015...Ouch!!!)...Fellow Hoosier Harlan Sanders failed at everything in his life, numerous bankruptcies, failed endeavors and investments...He used his first social security check to begin franchising his method of making chicken and now his image is one of the most recognizable images in the world today...I am sure Trump has lost money many times in his lifetime...But at least he was in the arena....

There was a time in this country where a man was admired for being in the arena...Now a man is admired for "organizing a community" to lobby for more money from the Government...

I vote for the one in the arena...Not one that rides into fame on the coat tails of another and looks at the highest office in the land as being her "turn"...(Much to the chagrin of Bernie supporters everywhere.) Just a different perspective...Not saying I am right or you are wrong...Just another way of looking at it...

I object to you in any way associating one of our greatest presidents with Trump!

Trump was a draft dodger. He has done nothing in defense of his country. He is a self-promoter and a charlatan of the worst order.

Because Lord knows the Clinton's are not self promoters...I am a student of history and yes, I see TR and Trump in a very similar light...Wealthy New Yorker's who stepped up to the plate when they felt the call.....Seeing the office as a chance to do good rather than make money and sell favors to foreign governments while Secretary of State...Plus I can't see Trump stealing furniture from the Whitehouse when he leaves...
