    Funny how Fox News seems to me to be significantly more pro-Trump than they were pro-Romney even though Romney was much more traditional conservative/Republican than Trump is. But to be honest, I don't really watch Fox all that much. This is just what I've observed from what I have seen this election cycle. They may not have been that pro-Trump early on.

      No I think their top anchor openly feuding with him and calling him out might suggest they weren't giving him the old push.

        Depends on the show, but some of them really doubled down on donnie.

          Scott Adams, the Dilbert drawer/author, has been predicting a Trump landslide for awhile. I think I posted about him before, but he talks incessantly about these methods of persuasion and negotiation employed by Trump. Apparently Adams knows something about these mysterious powers and can identify Trump using them.

          I'm not sure when Adams made his last blog post and whether he may want to take a step back from the Trump landslide prediction given the events of the past week.
          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            I find The Simpsons prophesying of President Trump more compelling.

              It would be fun to set up a show down between Dilbert's pro-Trump routine and Doonesbury's never-Trump agenda.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                        I say more Ivanka and less Donald. This is a good thing.

                            Donald is trying to follow in the best traditions of would be third-world dictators. Along with repeatedly saying he's the only one who can save our country, letting family members put together his domestic policies is a good start. Fidel Castro approves.

                              So does Bill Clinton.

                                It was very unpopular and a political mistake on Bill's part. Hillary has never been popular. The ONLY reason she has a good chance to win now is because the GOP nominated an amoral, mentally unstable idiot. Some today forget that Bill ran as a centrist, got elected and then made a hard left for his first couple of years. Then the dems got pounded in the 94 elections and he shifted back to the center for the next six years.
