(52,236 posts)Consistently promoted Donnie and rarely pointed out how broadly and deeply unpopular he was.
Quite the contrary, in fact; the media went out of their way to note how passionate Donnie's supporters were. Again, without mentioning that they were not representative of the majority of Americans.
How often did they cover events where Donnie would show up at some airport and make a speech to a tiny crowd that was nearly all staffers, and act like it was a major event instead of a humiliating display of a lack of support?
Meanwhile, the same media jumps at the chance to destroy the career of any democrat who can be portrayed as having made a single mistake.
