All about how Trump was doing so badly with women voters...No surprises there. <br /><br />But what did particularly appall me was (a) the reporter stated that there was "even one poll that put women voters 30% more inclined to Clinton than Trump"...no citation as to which poll... (b) no mention of the fact that Trump is 2% ahead in the LA Times poll and was ahead in the Rasmussen poll a few days ago or that Clinton support has been slipping in other polls. No, any uninformed viewer would simply gain the impression that Trump was dead in the water and had fallen way behind in the polls. <br /><br />Similar stuff from Naughtie and Robinson on Today. Amazing how Bill Clinton speech is given such soft treatment. NO mention of the rape allegations against him and how his rallies have been disrupted by protestors brandishing posters referring to those allegations. No mention of the controversy over Hillary's trashing of his accusers. No - his words were treated with almost religious respect. Then Robinson has on a "Trump supporter" - well the BBC's ide of a Trump supporter...i.e. someone that even they have to confess is friends with the CLintons and has supported the Clinton Foundation, who then proceeds to suggest that Trump's bid for power was never seriously meant, that he always expected to lose and, the implication was, it had just been done as a publicity stunt. That may all be true, for all I or anyone knows, but it hardly qualifies the person as a "Trump supporter" to be make such a damaging allegation. <br /><br />No mention that Trump Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
