Ed boards scramble to undercut Trump ahead of debate, as polls show dead heat

The (New York)Times, after endorsing Clinton over the weekend, went a step further with a new editorial titled, "Why He Should Not Be President."

The 1,400-word essay sought to systematically knock down Trump's own claims about his assets as a leader, describing him as a "man far more consumed with himself than with the nation's well-being."

The Times wrote: "Voters attracted by the force of the Trump personality should pause and take note of the precise qualities he exudes as an audaciously different politician: bluster, savage mockery of those who challenge him, degrading comments about women, mendacity, crude generalizations about nations and religions."

------

The Washington Post, in its editorial, said "the stakes could not be higher," but asserted that Trump has "amply demonstrated his unworthiness" to be president.

"It's beyond his capacity in the upcoming 90-minute question-and-answer sessions to reverse or even substantially modify that conclusion," the editorial board wrote.

------

After the newspaper's Clinton endorsement over the weekend, Trump spokesman Jason Miller issued a statement saying:

"The news that the ultra-liberal, elitist, out-of-touch New York Times Editorial Board endorsed an ultra-liberal, elitist, out-of-touch candidate in Hillary Clinton has to be some of the least surprising news ever. The New York Times' Editorial Board is the embodiment of the rigged system Donald Trump is running against."

The statement was titled, "The Sun Also Rose In The East This Morning."

These idiots still haven’t figured out that attacks from the likes of them are the best endorsements Trump could get.

If they really wanted to hurt him they’d have their editorial boards officially endorse him.

Trump knows exactly what is coming.

The MSM has telegraphed its marching orders to take him down.

He’s a big boy who can take care of himself. Can Hillary take care of herself?

I’m reminded of the Jim Carrey Liar, Liar spoof.

People don’t trust Hillary but they’ll try to make Trump look worse than her.

In some alternative universe.

Given what Rush has pointed out about Obama's connection to the e-mails, I think it is to call Trump a liar FIRST, to lessen the impact of HRC/Obama's lies being called out.

I only ask one question of Hillary. “If Americans won’t believe you, how can world leaders believe you?”

Holt is going to focus on Trump so much and often that Trump will have come the Hillary’s rescue before she slides under her little lectern and isn’t even missed.

Good.

If Little Hillary disappears, it will only remind people how unqualified she is to be President.

Every Freepers need to refute the sophism...it is not tied, Trump is leading.
It is not tied, Trump is leading.
It is not tied, Trump is leading.
It is not tied, Trump is leading.
It is not tied, Trump is leading.
It is not tied, Trump is leading.

DO that everywhere you see this, refute it, stop them from spreading lies, stop them from destroying your momentum. Call them out on their lies. Even Nate Silver says it's not so, their oracle. They need to give up,. see hopeless, and stay home elections day.

The Slimes has not endorsed a Republican for president since 1956, and that was only done out of reluctant shame because Ike was so popular. Thats 70 years folks. One could only get such fealty from state run papers in murderous dictatorships.

I'm less optimistic about tonight's debate than many freepers — not because I doubt Trump, but because I know that the media will do ANYTHING to destroy Trump. For example, I believe HRC has tonight's questions — and even has dictated a few that will be asked. Not sure how Trump — how ANYONE — could overcome this advantage.

FRANKFURT SCHOOL and US “JOURNALISM”
I believe the expression that best characterizes the relationship between the media and the Clintons is the old one from the 50s: FELLOW TRAVELLERS! You younger folks will need to look it up as I doubt your teachers brought it to your attention.

Years ago, Dr. Gary North predicted that the radical left would capture America with the insane and human nature denying goal of “transforming” it into an egalitarian unicorn and rainbow Utopia by “capturing the ROBES”. By that, he meant those institutions we granted various levels of authority over us and our affairs: The clergy, the judges... and the ACADEMICS.

The roots of the problems in academia flow back to something referred to as the Frankfurt School and their 1935 move to COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY and the spread of Marxist thought (now there’s an oxymoron for ya’!) into every area of learning here.

A prime example of the rot now endemic in the academy is the COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF “JOURNALISM”. It is THE premier center for spreading Marxism here in America and it has been incredibly successful in its destruction of traditional and American values. Not only do its direct graduates permeate the media here, but many of them also double as teachers in lesser known institutions of media instruction. Herein lies the genesis of Limbaugh’s descriptive expression “Driveby Media”. Now you know why virtually every so-called “journalist” HATES folks like us.

The Wikipedia entry says that the “...FRANKFURT SCHOOL was founded in 1923 by Carl Grünberg, a Marxist legal and political professor at the University of Vienna,[10] as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research center affiliated with a major German university.[3] However, the school can trace its earliest roots back to Felix Weil, who used money from his father’s grain business to finance the Institute. “

Isn’t it fascinating that here is an early instance of a Marxist ANTI-CAPITALIST organization financing itself with the hated PROFITS of a capitalist business? The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

More recent examples of that dichotomy would be the offspring of John D. Rockefeller who have largely spent their lives promoting socialism (using other people’s money, of course). And recently Bill Gates treated us to the wisdom that only SOCIALISM can solve the woes of this world. What these folks refuse to acknowledge that even THEY do not possess sufficient personal wealth to make a dent in those woes if the recipients of that largess are incapable of sustaining themselves once the largess stops flowing or is exhausted.

If one examines the life of Karl Marx, we find a bum who abandoned his wife and family to advance the socialist struggle and never worked or dirtied his hands at day in his life. That sort of thing was for the bourgeoisie, not such an exalted personage as himself. His guilt over that abandonment probably explains Karl’s fondness for state welfare paid for by the labor of others so that his abandoned family wouldn’t perish (not that a mensch like Karl gave a rat’s ass).

You know there will be a lot of bs in this debate. They’re desperate. They gotta do something, anything. It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong, because they’re always right, even when they’re wrong. It’s liberal jihad.

HILLARY: “Thanks for that question, Lester, and yes I DO think Mr. Trump is a born lying racist...”

HOLT: “Mrs. Clinton, sorry to interrupt, but I haven’t got to that question yet”
