because they want his message silenced.
Simple as that.

14. And that's why

many business Repigs are very friendly to a Hillary presidency...

IF she can actually beat the Trump thing -- which is a big question.

4. More likely, it's because he

has so far gotten fewer votes than Hillary, has a deficit of almost 200 pledged delegates already, and Hillary is leading by substantial margins in most remaining states so that making up that deficit and then surpassing her in pledged delegates looks to be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

I personally don't pronounce him out yet.

But it's certainly not about silencing his message or any other CT.

7. Right, just like they have with Rubio

[BlueMTexpat]

8. A bit non-responsive??? eom

[yourpaljoey]

9. Of course it is about silencing the message

But... you already knew that.

[BlueMTexpat]

11. If it comforts you to

believe that, by all means do. But there is little, if any, evidence for such.

16. One Minute To Sanders

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/12/11/abc-world-news-tonight-has-devoted-less-than-on/207428


Story From December,

---Does that ratio seem out of whack? That's the ratio of TV airtime that ABC World News Tonight has devoted to Donald Trump's campaign (81 minutes) versus the amount of TV time World News Tonight has devoted to Bernie Sanders' campaign this year. And even that one minute for Sanders is misleading because the actual number is closer to 20 seconds.

For the entire year.

That's the rather stunning revelation from the Tyndall Report, which tracks the various flagship nightly news programs on NBC, CBS and ABC. The Report's campaign findings cover the network evening newscasts from January 1 through the end of November.

The results confirm two media extremes in play this year, and not just at ABC News. The network newscasts are wildly overplaying Trump, who regularly attracts between 20-30 percent of primary voter support, while at the same time wildly underplaying Sanders, who regularly attracts between 20-30 percent of primary voter support. (Sanders' supporters have long complained about the candidate's lack of coverage.)

Obviously, Trump is the GOP frontrunner and its reasonable that he would get more attention than Sanders, who's running second for the Democrats. But 234 total network minutes for Trump compared to just 10 network minutes for Sanders, as the Tyndall Report found?

Andrew Tyndall provided the breakdown by network of Sanders' 10 minutes of coverage, via email [emphasis added]:

CBS Evening News: 6.4 minutes

NBC Nightly News: 2.9 minutes

ABC World News: 0.3

..more..

before a single vote was ever cast

15. Truer words have never been spoken

...and yet he kept on going.
