Never said anything like that in this thread, not even close. I said the media has a huge left-leaning bias. And frustration over that bias, helped Trump. You disagree?

"Most Americans would have forgotten Hillary, Obama and certainly Bill by now if the person in office did not keep bringing them up "

You don't get it. People are tired of the double standard. That's the only reason why they are still part of the conversation, evidence of the glaring double standard.
Trumps Gaslighting seems to have removed your ability to think critically

"inability to have an agenda other than to make sure any thing that his predecessor did was eliminated or soiled"

That's Trump's entire agenda? He hasn't done anything in terms of the economy that's helping people? Nothing?
Trumps effect on the economy is far less than he claims, look at the monthly GDP and employment for the last ten years and show me the magic, now remember that when he was campaigning all those numbers were BS. Now they have miraculously become real and he is taking credit for anything possible to move attention away from the "witch hunt"

I'm not a huge Sarah Palin fan, there's all kinds of legitimate ways to criticize her. But you absolutely dodged the point I made, which is that the media used her Down Syndrome baby against her. You have no comment on that, apparently. Fine.
You seized on a dot in time that has long been forgotten to prove a nonexistent point. A media source becomes The media, if you repeat lies often and long enough they become true,
ask Donald Trump if it works

"America was repulsed by the answer...""

I see. You are denying that when Obama said we need to "spread the wealth around" that America hated that answer. If you deny that, it's very difficult to see how we can have a rational discussion. Polling showed that answer was unpopular, which is why the liberal establishment focused its wrath on the guy who asked the question. Deny that all you want. But that's what happened.

"Trumps Gaslighting seems to have removed your ability to think critically"

I have been harshly critical of Trump.

"Trumps effect on the economy is far less than he claims"

Oh, I see.

You said hi sonly agenda is to make people forget Obama. He picked a superb Supreme Court Justice, he signed popular tax changes into law, he removed all kinds of burdensome business regulations.

"look at the monthly GDP and employment for the last ten years and show me the magic"

Unemployment isn't low? That's what you are saying?

"You seized on a dot in time that has long been forgotten to prove a nonexistent point"

Which is it? Is my example old, or is it irrelevant? Using a Down Syndrome baby as a political weapon obviously means nothing to you, as long as your side gains. You have the right to that opinion. I think it's disgusting.

I could have pointed to a million examples of media bias (CNN giving debate questions to Hilary comes to mind). I chose ones I found to be particularly offensive.

"You do know Bill Maher is a comedian, perhaps a political one"

I wasn't legitimizing Bill Maher. The only reason I posted that was to show the date of the rumors., it had nothing to do with Maher. Spence seemed to be saying that the rumors about Palin's grandson were not part of the 2008 presidential election, and obviously they were. So I'll ask again, why on Earth, would Karl Rove sabotage the McCain/Palin ticket, in the fall of 2008? Karl Rove wanted Obama to win? That's what Spence believes? In any event, you guys seemed to think those rumors came about in an election other than the 2008 election. It was in 2008.
