    I mean, no shit. He’s basically running as an incumbent as far as advantage and the rest of the field isn’t very impressive. Are you rooting for him to win or just complaining about media coverage?

      Complaining about the media coverage. They’re treating this like it’s actually a real race and not a clown show.

        I don’t like the coverage either, but it’s a double edged sword.

        It’s fairly annoying that it’s resulting in a ton of click-bait headlines, but it’s probably for the better in a weird way. Those same articles are the start of scaring people into voting. While voting is good, it’s difficult to justify the emotions it takes for people to do so. I just hate that is the way things are now, TBH.

          I strongly disagree. People recognize when they’re being manipulated, so they tune out the elections because the media is always trying to scare them and it’s all a dramatized clown show. It stopped being scary years ago, now it’s annoying.
