What happens when your candidate goes off the rails and suggests "Second Amendment" action against his opponent or declares Mexicans “rapists” and “murderers” or calls for a ban on Muslims entering the country? The media covers it. And that right there is the problem, say Trump supporters. It’s just not fair! Molly Hensley-Clancy got some reactions from Trumpeters to the “biased” media coverage.

Robert Brantley, of Pompano, Florida, said he was bothered by the way the media had reported on Khizr Khan, the father of a deceased Muslim American soldier. “They’ve been beating that to death,” Brantley said. “I know exactly what he said, and I don’t think he said anything wrong. I talk like he does — I say things I shouldn’t say.”

Yep, they beat that "to death," after Trump fanned the flames at every turn—in interviews and on Twitter—for almost a week.

Julia Perticone said she thinks the media’s reporting on Trump has been “ignorant.” “They say he’s racist and has a bad temper,” she said. “Really what they’re worried about is being politically correct,” Perticone said. While they nitpick Trump, she said, the media is ignoring much more serious issues with Clinton.

Assassinations, defaming entire ethnicities, calling for an unconstitutional religious test for entry into the country: nitpicking. If only the media would cover Hillary's emails.

And Linda Schainberg, of Hollywood, Florida, said she is tired of the media reporting that Trump does not have women supporters. “It’s totally false — I know a lot of well-educated women who all support him,” Schainberg said. “I have my MBA, I have two grown children. It’s something they made up, that women don’t like him. It’s not true.”

Ah, the power of one.
