Part of this, of course, is that Donald trump ran against the state-socialist media, who assumed they (and the corrupt Republicrat politicians on whose greasy table scraps these tail-waggers dine) couldn't be beaten because they still "controlled the message" beamed into every American living room at suppertime.

Bondservants to the disreputable Clinton campaign, they ran uncorroborated — without demanding a police report, a court deposition sworn under penalty of perjury, ANYTHING — every accusation the despicable Hillaryites could dredge up from a clutch of mostly middle-aged female Hillary donors (represented cost-free by a Hillary attorney suspiciously resembling Gloria Allred or her daughter) whining that billionaire Donald Trump groped them or bumped them or hit on them or kissed them, usually 11 to 31 years ago.

That should fix him!

But it didn't.
