No, my previous comment was a somewhat knee-jerk of my belief that the media divides people in the months leading to an election so that they will go to the polls. They blow-up non-stories and downplay real actions where necessary. Re: Trump, I doubt anyone cares what I think, but I do wish the republicans had a more approachable figurehead. The hard-nose republicans who wanted to buck the previous 8 years come hell or high water put him in and might keep him there. I would prefer a return to Bush's idea of a "compassionate conservative."
