The media is on record saying that there is a difference between McCain in 2008 or Romney in 2012 taking the White House, and Trump in 2016. Their treatment of Trump is not based on party, not when a record number of media publications in red states broke with tradition and did not endorse the Republican candidate.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he turns out to be a good president.
Trump and C*nt rhyme. Coincidence?
The DNC will have learned nothing if they appoint Keith Ellison.
He is in the Nation of Islam for god's sake.
He is in the Nation of Islam for god's sake.
Well no, he's not.The DNC will have learned nothing if they appoint Keith Ellison.
He is in the Nation of Islam for god's sake.
And what do you mean "learned nothing"? That they need to bash muslims more?
What?
That would shock the shit out of me... between him and the clowns he surrounds himself with, America is in for a rough ride.
In fairness he's retracted that if you keep reading the thread.
He swore in on the Koran and there is substantial evidence he was a member of the NOI.
Dems will be crushed with him as DNC leader.
There is no place for advocates of Sharia Law in America.
It's obviously not the result that any of us wanted, but I honestly don't think he'll be any where near as bad as is being speculated.
Not going to be shocked if the US finds itself in the middle of a 2nd Civil War before his 4 years are up.
His proposals & policies do little or nothing for the typical American not to mention he never really wanted the job
Personally I think he will have to do a lot to be as bad as Bush II but anything is possible.
His cabinet will be made up of Gingrich, Palin, Christie, Carson, Pence and Ted Cruz. I'm not sure he could have picked worse if he tried.
Why not? What will reign him in? The Republican party rebelling against him in Congress? The moderate, well meaning and restrained individuals he's appointing around him?
I'll be shocked if he makes it 75% of the way into his term.
In which case he's replaced by a batshit crazy Christian fundamentalist feck nugget.
You are getting it... Americans are screwed either way.
I just think that most of the pre election talk was brovado. Bullshit like building a $40 billion wall between the US and Mexico was just that, bullshit.
Yes, I agree. I'm not sure he meant very much of anything he said...in fact, ever in his life. However, he has now surrounded himself with a terrifying group of ideologues who will not hesitate to implement far more practically possible dreadful policies, with only the hope of a Republican controlled congress blocking legislation to mitigate them.
Where has he called for the implementation of Sharia?
yes. The moderate Republicans in the Democratic party are already smearing himThe DNC will have learned nothing if they appoint Keith Ellison.
He is in the Nation of Islam for god's sake.
Is it wrong to do that in the 'land of the free'?
Also, please tell where he has advocated introducing Sharia Law in America.
Of course is not wrong, but US is still a very Christian country, with a lot of people there hating Islam.
In an ideal world, this would have been okay, but in our world, I see Democrats making suicide if they appoint him as their leader, or he wins the next Democrat primaries. We saw the propaganda against Obama who wasn't even Muslim, now you can only imagine what will happen to someone who converted to Islam.
This is for chief of the DNC, which is basically an organisational and fundraising role, he's not going to be a candidate for President. If him being a muslim can be an impediment to that then we may as well give up.
I am almost there.
Even if we assume that the most extreme proposals were just bluffs, it still leaves you with someone who doesn't seem a good choice for the job. The same way Obama isn't currently a good pick for CEO of a large company.
I do believe that intelligence translates (although I don't believe Trump is intelligent), but time and application is necessary to gain actual expertise. Trump has little to none of those in actual governing.
Right you are
Brilliant.
Well, you can't say hes not entertaining
Eugh.
TBH I think this is enough to doom him as a nationwide candidate, as DNC chair it would take the ful might of the right-wing spin macine to make his past a liability for Dems: and it looks like they're already underway (there's this and a crudely modified audio too)

You've got to love the right and their consistent belief in religious freedom.
They're certainly trying, but if the mainstream Dems treat it with the contempt it deserves then you'd like to think it won't gain a foothold.
Then again, would like to think a lot of things that have been proven inaccurate as of late...
I'm not a Muslim (or even a Hindu, I'm an atheist) but my first name is a Urdu word. I don't know if the list is by name or country or self-declared religion, but if it's by name I'll be on the list.
One of the knuckle draggers at a Drumpf rally spoke about the importance of religious freedom, but he followed that up by making it clear that Islam isn't a proper religion.
They'll get you, you pseudo Muslim.
