    What will it take for the “MSM” to say straight out that the man is mentally unbalanced?

      The media wants a horse race because that’s how they make money. It can’t be a horse race when one of the two candidates is a deranged, babbling moron.

      He’s riling up a pre-enraged group to outright accept him as a dictator. The water is muddied. He is talking about becoming a dictator and he has not been disqualified from office.

      It’s nothing good, but I don’t think I would call it ‘unbalanced’ to set the stage for a dictatorship when your stated goal is to become a literal dictator.

        and he has not been disqualified from office

        He has very much been disqualified from office, but like when Obama’s pick for the supreme court was just blatantly ignored with the most thinly veiled excuses, the people in charge of executing the respective laws instead choose to bend over for the guy who has blackmailing material on them and/or promises them even more massive tax cuts, profits and power.

          And if he’s somehow voted back in, he will be equally disqualified as those Justices.

          …which is to say not for any practical purposes, which is exactly the problem in the first place. He should be but at this point he is not.

        they just present the facts:
        you decide, is “dictatorship and revenge” the goals of an unbalanced man?
        in many cultures, it’s quite normal…

      The media reports this stuff all the time. It’s not the media’s fault that people choose to ignore the facts.
