During his speech on Energy Trump said he would

do the Trans-Canada Keystone XL pipeline. Except that he would make sure that American made money off of it too. Profit for American oil corporations was already built into the pipeline. Trump was re-inventing the wheel. More proof that he only has a dyslexics superficial take on the issues.

as there were for Bush. The actual stupid comments and lack of depth on issues are definitely more breathtaking with Trump and the garbage the media tries to pull over on the "merits" of Trump are even more fictitious. So both the "charismatic image" and "competence" are exceedingly strained. The temptation is to ignore the media false positive that it is trying to pump up the Trump as it did with the "likeable" Junior Bush. And Bush lost that election in both numbers and actual electoral results minus SCOTUS! Still, the hammer has to be put to the media(left right or center!)- which is fair because they pull this propping up stuff out of their need for contest ratings and GOP favors.

Only going against the outrageous clown Trump might not be totally effective for the more serious candidate. The hapless GOP competitors who had more media support to take down Trump couldn't get anywhere with that.

Someone really has to call out the media on their false misrepresentations or recasting of Trump's ludicrous incompetency. They have to be tarred with the same brush Trump uses so sloppily in his ignorant demagoguery.
