Thanks to Trump, fringe news enters the mainstream

I have been saying this about Trump for ages. But Trump isn't just inexperienced.

Yes he is. In the private sector, he's done more for the American economy than any president other than Reagan. He knows more about the real world, (here and abroad) than ANY politician in Washington today.

He is NOT a politician, or at least he claims not to be.

Reason enough to elect him.
All the while boasting about his shady back room deals he makes "for us."

As opposed to that backroom OBAMACARE, which screwed us all up the wazoo?

Yet that doesn't stop Trump supporters from saying how great he'll be, how he has experience and how everyone will just bend to his will like a mix between the Anti-Christ and Hitler.

We've already had the Anti-Christ and Hitler for the past seven years. It's time to elect someone who will do the job and fix what Obama has ****ed up.
Also yes. Alternative media like blogs are universally unreliable. YouTube being one of the worst place to consume information.

No worse than CNN, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC MSNBC, or any other Democrat party shill.

Fringe news has always been there. (Crack Pipe Post, Media Matters, DailyKOS, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc)

What has changed is that Trump is so powerful a candidate that all the Democrat National Committee mouthpieces (CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC) are following him around like groupies in a rock concert. His ratings are like crack cocaine to a bunch of addicts.

CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC are "fringe news"?

That's laughable. Donald Trump's actual contributions to the American economy are diddly squat. Commercial real estate and casinos don't drive the economy like, say, technological innovation,military development, residential real estate, health care, energy, or even retail.

"The Anti-Christ and Hitler." Do you know how insane that sounds?
 
I think maybe what's defined as "fringe" needs to change. Not all blogs, for example, are "fringe."

I'm not a Trump fan and will not be voting for him in my primary. But it's the fact that he isn't a career politician that makes him appealing. I disagree with the premise that he lacks leadership experience.
 
Think about it. Trump is playing a good game. Think of him whatever you want...love him, like him, hate him. Even if you are indifferent, you have to admit that, by making edgy comments, Trump gains name recognition. Just look at the endless threads created about him. The MSM is no different.
Trump is brilliant, and I wish I had some of his business sense.
Having said that, I hope Americans come to their collective senses and don't vote for the man. If they do, I guess we get what we deserve.
