I’m done with these creeps. I’ll watch Joy Reid, though, until they fire her.

You know, Trump tweeted 45 minutes ago that the MSM didn’t cover the coughing. Here’s the thing: not covering conspiracy-theory bullshit is a big part of what makes you mainstream. Normal, you know? Normal as in not crazy. Anyone who starts walking on the wild side with this ought to be shown the door. There’s plenty of people who’d apply for the opening.

Amazing what a few seconds surfing the web can find.

In 2012, 17.6 million adults and 6.6 million children had hay fever. Worldwide, allergic rhinitis affects between 10 percent and 30 percent of the population. In 2010, allergic rhinitis was diagnosed during 11.1 million doctor visits.

Hillary Clinton is afflicted with a weak voice that doesn’t project well. A lot of politicians get hoarse on the campaign trail. Projecting to large crowds is a problem for many women. And that’s about it.

Should Drumpf somehow win, Todd and Mitchell will have played a very large roll in the outcome.

While NBC treated the coughing fit itself as headline news, other outlets, including TPM, zeroed in on the Democratic nominee’s quip that it was prompted by talking so much about Donald Trump.

A+ backslapping, TPM. Did Clinton do anything else over the weekend? Nothing worthy of note? Oh, OK.

Hillary Clinton in a full-blown coma would still be a far more articulate, intelligent and healthy POTUS than Donnie Drumpf or his five minute drive-by doctor.

Wait…You mean to tell me that someone who isn’t from the region and has recently been spending quite a bit of time in the Ohio River Valley is having some issues with allergies? Say it ain’t so! This has never, ever happened ever. No one ever comes to the worst region of the country for seasonal allergies and has attacks of their seasonal allergies. That’s madness.

Projecting for large crowds is actually hard for most people. Not just women.

True but they have had many accomplices

11 hours of live grilling by witch-hunting Congress = Hillary doesn’t have acumen or stamina.

Out-of-context pics and coughs = she’s brain dead.

NBC really is a joke with a few exceptions like Rachael Maddow, Joy Reid, Chris Hayes, Ari Melber and Lawrence on cable. And, equally strange, if any of the above mentioned actually make news with their reporting the parent web usually doesn’t re-air that very news like any other self-respecting news organization would without blinking. And, of course, the vast, obvious nepotism that runs rampant in the on-air staff and, I’m sure, from years of reading credit rolls is just as bad among the production and administrative staff.

Let’s say she IS sick and likely to expire the first 100 days. Then, this race: is Kaine v Trump OR Kaine v Pence.

I’d take that any day. All day.

NBC sucks, but that New York Times TV critic shouldn’t get too high and mighty. His newspaper is ten times worse.

The official Propaganda Arm of Comcast said something bad about Clinton?!?!?! I am SHOCKED! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!
Trump has promised to allow unfettered Monopolies (one of the defining traits of FASCISM) everywhere in the economy so Comcast LOVES HIM.
Why won’t the “MEDIA” do their jobs?
Upton Sinclair — ‘It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.’
