Sent this to Chris Hayes' 'Question Time' just now:

Not so much a question but it is sort of: WHY do you (your show) spend so much time on Donald Trump and his antics? I realize he's viewed as a serious candidate, but his performances are so lacking in substance that doing so is a waste of time, that could be much better spent on other substantive candidates, like Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders, and maybe some Republicans. You'll lose many viewers if you continue with Trump.

1. My guess is that Trump secretly bought MSNBC and has made it the Official 24/7 All Trump Channel

2. Chris Hayes is probably wondering the same thing.

He and Rachel used to do stories of substance. I imagine they are disgusted too.

3. I replied on that link, too.

Poor Chris, I think he's caught between a rock and a hard place. He knows what his viewers want, but management is telling him to do something else. Obviously, he wants to keep his job, so what to do?

I'm not watching any more Trump, though. No way.

6. I'm glad to see all the Trump coverage. It brands the Republican party as for "While Men Only" and

shows that Bush, Walker, Rubio, et al. are no longer able to put a civilized face on the decidedly uncivilized party.

Covering Trump is exposing the Republican base for what it is: misogynistic, racist, bullying, jingoistic, bellicose, wealth-obsessed, narcissistic, crass, petty, vindictive, belligerent, immune from facts, and disinterested in policy -- just like Trump.

By the time the general election rolls around, there should be no sane person who has any doubt about where the Republican party stands. Thank the media for that unintended happy consequence of their obsession with bombastic headlines.
