- Clubber 9y ago>norm requiring presidential candidates to Apparently not required.
- SpikeDad 9y agoIf only we had a president who cares about well-established norms of integrity and truthfulness.
- gt_ 9y agoIf only we had a democracy and campaign process that valued informed voters more than monied interests
- banned1 9y agoIf only citizens would show up to vote for their presumed slam-dunk candidates!
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoIf only the media wouldn't feed the electorate the message that voting is pointless because they already know who is going to win in a landslide!
- paulddraper 9y agoMitt Romney got blasted for not revealing his returns (they were being ammended IIRC). The media made this whole thing about it for weeks. Apparently it didn't matter as much 4 years later. The media are a fickle bunch.
- setr 9y agoThey did the same thing for trump. And for every other thing he ever did. I'm not sure how you could imagine otherwise; anything that could potentially be construed as offensive in some fashion, was reported as such. Most channels absolutely hated him. But he became president anyways. maybe as a result of it.
