"It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to" - Trump

.............

Don't know about you, but I took this to mean Trump is going to be more insulting, abusive and obnoxious than usual.

I think I'm going to flip a coin on election day and let fate decide. I've supported Trump because of his party's fiscally conservative stance but if the party doesn't back him, then I won't either.

Socially though, I swing left but a lot of those issues don't really apply to me so I'll just take it as I go.

That is exactly what Trump has been doing at his rallies, though.

I agree with that.

I just don't know where these clowns came up with him trying to appeal to black voters and/or if he has any more racist agenda planned for the future.

So the 'people don't like being told what to think' is void for the Trump supporters at his rallies then. Glad we agree.

it's void for anyone speaking at a rally, so no we don't agree I'm afraid, my point was the media and all and sundry (celebraties included) coming out to tell us what we should do, how we should think and what we should vote for and against, big difference

my point was the media and all and sundry (celebraties included) coming out to tell us what we should do, how we should think and what we should vote for and against, big difference

............

It is no different than a politician doing it. And Trump is more aligned to the media than he is to any political party.

it is different, very different, media outlets should remain impartial or at the very worst present both sides of the spectrum

People who have bashed Trump has not seen what Hillary have pulled off for years. Trump is self destructing his campaign by talking too much. Well that, and the thousands of videos that are interesting for the media to share.

A couple of my friends north of the border has bashed Trump to no end and when I bring up the Benghazi incident or the fact that the Saudis have a hand in funding Clinton's campaign, they had no idea that this was happening this whole time.

I just don't know where these clowns came up with him trying to appeal to black voters and/or if he has any more racist agenda planned for the future.

God only knows.

I dont need the BBC's input in order to make my mind up about people and situations and they have been out for trump since day 1, before any controversial speeches

He has taken political advice on going for the frustrated 'white' voters hence the silly policy proposals from earlier in the year, it's a calculated risk and I don't think it will pay off, he has no intention of building walls and profiling muslims and if he did and was smart he would get into power and then try and execute those policies

Why should the media not have their own political agendas?

oh come on...you dont watch the BBC then

Did y'all hear about Obama administration's $400m ransom payment to the Iranians in exchange for the US hostages? Probably not.

Did y'all hear about Seth Rich's death before the DNC? Allegedly robbed a gunpoint but they found his phone, wallet, and keys with nothing taken.

because the BBC for example are paid for by the British public by way of licences, we are not giving them the permission to be bias in anyway, their role is to provide the news in an impartial way to the public.

I dont really see it like that, I'm not paying any other media outlet to lie to me, why should the BBC get away with it?

I think the whole anti-Trump narrative by the media is counter productive and has become tiresome. When Hollywood stars for instance come together to slate and ridicule Trump, it only makes him more popular so works in his favour.
People don't like being told how to think.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
spot on, it is definitely counter productive and if anything will only help Trump. It plays into the anti establishment narrative. it's like they are trying to shame people into thinking, you're crazy if you vote trump because look how much the media and all these famous people are against him. But most can see through it.

The news is only one small part of the media.

there are many many impartial news broadcasts. So when Trump boasted about his history of sexual assault, the news that I watched presented it as that. They never stated whether it weas right or wrong. Just reported his boasting of sexually assaulting people.

News and political commentary shows in the media did go on to provide social and political commentary on it.

thats fine. I like to be bale to watch people discuss the political aspects of news stories. Its helps me understand the deeper contexts beyond simply providing the story.

It doesn't make sense to me that the media can't have political leanings. I want to hear from both sides to be fully informed.

dont really see it like that,

.............

Your problem, among many it seems.

Manfrombelmonty -

Well, not now but there was a time when he was. Trump’s popularity was partly a backlash and a reaction against the various media institutions who are so avidly against him.
It was the same with Brexit. The likes of Eddie Izzard parading around in his pink beret telling everyone why we should remain within the EU just ended up having the opposite affect.
