November 12, 20169 yr Why blame the media? It is tremendously slanted both ways depending on who you watch or read. HRC and her establishment mindset lost the election. Taking for granted many things. Trying to be too inclusive and forgetting a huge facet of society (although I do believe if she said the sky is blue, some would think she conspired to do it). I am not sure SHE could have changed it. The DNC is going to have to figure out how to reach middle America (geographically), the South is a given for years to come, the coasts are a given, also. DJT did, HRC took it for granted. The DNC needs to figure out to how to get people of color to vote at the levels Obama did or they will keep losing. Statehouse in the South and some of the deep midwest have been gerrymandered to ensure success for a long time. The coasts are so diverse they will win. I believe the swing states have changed. DJT, not the GOP or DNC, figured it out and it is why he will call the shots for at least four years probably 8. You have to get people out to vote with anything that resonates to whom that needs to be. To get urbanites or college kids to vote you have to speak to them and their issues. Young people supported Bernie because he spoke to them and their concerns. Doesn't matter if you have a plan or even the dough, just tell 'em what they want to hear, they will come. Obama did it, Trump did it better than Obama. The next one will, also.
November 12, 20169 yr The media is 90% liberal and their bias is no longer disguised, they are blatantly leftist. It is expected that they will lie and cheat and slant their stories to benefit Democrats. America now sees them for what they are and we no longer believe their BS. They tried throwing diaper loads of crap at Trump but nothing stuck because we were expecting the bias and saw through it. I believe that this obvious bias helped Trump defeat Hillary. The media was recognized as just another arm of the Democrat attack machine, and they were tuned out by Trump voters
