#37Will someone please tell me why someone would blow 200 million on their campaign to make a President wage?
Pride? Prestige? Power? Retarded?
Someone please explain this.Comment -

#38Yes and Trump is a media-created celebrity. The notion of electing a president who actually has political or military experience is hardly a media-driven notion. Just the opposite. The notion of electing a president without any political or high-ranking military experience (like Trump) is media driven. Would have never been possible before today's media and celebrity driven society. How do I know? Because it's never happened. Trump would be the first President ever without any political, government or high-ranking military experience. Now, you may say "good." Fine. But don't act like his loss would be media-driven when it's just the opposite. Before today's media-driven society, his candidacy would never even have been plausible. Modern media-driven society is the reason that a celebrity without any experience could be elected, whether it's this year or some time in the future. We can disagree on whether such a thing is positive or not. I say not.Comment -

#39There may be some element to that, but clearly not the same. Obama was neither a billionaire nor a famous reality TV personality when he became president. He became "promoted" (if you want to use that word) by the media through political speeches that he gave. Nobody knew about him before he became a senator.Comment -

sure is considering to this day there has not been a black president yet everyone thinks there is one in the oval office right now... but it isn't really the media as much as it is people just want to be told what to think.Last edited by brooks85; 02-03-16, 04:04 PM.Comment -

#42Once again an Australian is busy fascinating himself over a loud mouth American egomaniac that has no impact on anything related to Australia. Seems odd to me.Comment
