And his election will show them that we don't even need the MSM to win any more.
Not only didn't he use millionaire money, and raised more than Hillary, but he doesn't get anything but trashed by them and STILL he gets the public behind him. They are being shown the door.

He could do such a good slam if he says that the WaPo article wrote and article all about how he was lying about the 27$. Then explain after a lot of math and a few pages down they came up with 27.88! So thanks for correcting the record, it is 27.88! That is some top notch journalism there!

Who could imagine such a slip-up. MSM is a joke. A sad sick sorry joke, but a joke nonetheless. No sense of humor. And since I am sure some of us give other rounded off amounts, the cents part changes daily I suspect. Happy angst, MSM.
