Trump’s best hope of winning consists of convincing the American public that his opponent shares the same weaknesses that he does, so they might as well vote for the one who credibly promises change. Thus far, the MSM have more or less gone along with this approach, due to their desires to be seen as even-handed and to see a close and exciting horse race. Here is the way it plays out:
Trump v. Clinton
Foreign Policy Follies Putin; “Take the Oil;” Tear Up Treaties Benghazi!
Foundation Faux Pas Illegal Contribution Access for Nobel Prize Winner
Inequality Issue Huge Tax Cut for the Wealthy Wall Street Speeches
Lies, Lies, Lies Innumerable E-Mail Issue
You’re a Bigot! Mexican Rapists, etc. Support for 1996 Crime Bill
No reasonable person could look at the first and second columns and think they amount to the same thing. And yet, here we are, in a race with an uncertain outcome. It isn’t exactly a tribute to the virtues of our system.
