Meet the Impotent Press

DONALD TRUMP: Obamacare, as you know, is going to fail very soon, and probably in '17, our health care. We don't have borders. We don't have anything. I think, if I'm there in two years and I'm making a speech, I say we're getting better, fast.

CHUCK TODD: And in that first speech to Congress, you're going to lay out your first 100 days' agenda, what are those four issues that are going to be on there--

Once again, Todd allows Trump to state an opinion as if it is a fact. At the very least, Todd should have responded that he does not know that Obamacare is going to fail very soon. Even better, he should have asked for facts to back up this assertion.

When Americans go to the polls in November, we are not selecting the winner of a reality show. We are electing the leader of the free world. It is time for the press to start doing their job so that we make that a choice armed with facts. Trump cannot cut off everyone for asking tough questions - his campaign will not last if cut off from the free publicity.
