Joe Scarborough makes the point that the only reason Trump won the first time was because America hated Hillary more than they hated Donald Trump. He won't have that same chance with Kamala Harris.
@b2bjacks He left out the reality that one of the reasons why American disliked Hillary Clinton was the persistent negative reporting by talking heads like him.
@gshevlin @b2bjacks This. Hilary Clinton was in national politics for a quarter of a century before she ran for president, and every single day of that Fox News had her conspiring to take our guns and eat our babies. Nor did the leftwards press like her much -- Democracy Now had nothing good to say about any Clinton other than George.
And news media are still treating TFG as if he's not that bad once you get used to him. They have some explaining to do
@ImagineThat @gshevlin @b2bjacks with the media owned by wealthy oligarchs, that's all we can expect.
@anatman @gshevlin @b2bjacks That doesn't apply to Democracy Now or Pacifica News AFAIK. Their impact is a fraction of Fox's, but it looks like close elections are the rule now; no impact is too small to matter. They could have saved us from four years of the Orange Toddler, but Hillary wasn't pure enough for them.
