Wow, democrats are really showing their colors today with this whole "boycott the CNN" thing... Unless I missed soemthing he is a presidential candidate, and one who so far hasnt been found guilty of anything that would disqualify him... and a popular one.

Yes he is a piece of shit, and yes he has no business being in politics... But its not CNNs job to make those decisions. Their job is to let the candidates say their piece and let the public decide from there (or the courts if there are legal questions).

As much as I hate Trump... I lost **so** much respect for the democrats today. Supporting censorship, specifically doing so with the intent of winning an election in their favor, is a new low... dont be that party...

@freemo this is how fascism wins. By convincing people like you that organic expressions of outrage at fascism ARE fascism.

Or maybe this is like totalitarianism wins: when you believe that a discussion about Trump is important because it will affect the fate of USA.

If you read 1984 of Orwell, there are suspects that all these wars between Democratic Party and Republican are mainly a weapon of mass distraction. Take a rather genuine Democratic president as Obama. Did he changed the finance system, despite the 2008 crisis and corruption? No. Did he really reduced the outrageous costs of healthcare system? No.

Something after an election can change, but I suspect that the "big-picture" is already decided. Hence, a figure as Trump is useful because he is a clown, he can grab the attention, and you stop thinking to the big picture.
