Our present administration (both the president and all of Congress- most republicans and all the democrats it seems)as well as all the major news agencies are more interested in Trump saying that he'd like to withhold judgement about the election and look into voter fraud than any of them are about the issues this nation faces - issues like what the candidates said on health insurance, the economy, foreign affairs, immigration, abortion etc.

This is so sad - so very sad. It is no wonder that this country has so many issues to solve when the President and Congress and all the news agencies after a debate mainly only focus on one candidate saying that he'd like to withhold judgement about the election and look into voter fraud. On a scale of everything else happening that needs attention is this really what the main focus should or needs to be?

The media is wrong as choosing to withhold judgment does not mean he is against it but rather will wait till more input is given before making a call.. who would want to decide any issue without all the data in to make a judgement ? This is a blatant error in responding to what he said he even made a joke saying he would keep us in suspense.. Spinning ones ideas is intellectually dishonest no matter who is doing the spinning

This thread is about the fact that NO ONE (our President, our Congress, or Our Press) cares anything about the real issues facing this country - if they did they surely wouldn't be just talking the day after a presidential debate about what Donald Trump said about the election or voter fraud except in a passing reference. This surely shouldn't be the focus considering the overwhelming complicated issues this country is facing today.

But but but that's all Hitlery has to run on is slamming Trump and her media and campaign know it.

Could you ever imagine her winning with only her record or accomplishments? They can't either!

I disagree here, unless it would work both ways

'would you accept the outcome if you win',,

if I believe he would withhold until more 'input' to accept than I would say its a matter of choosing to withhold judgment,, but since I cant, Id say its a matter of his whole ego coming from how much of a 'winner' he considers himself to be and all the ways he demeans and looks down on 'losers'

there are too many sources to say that only one thing is the 'focus',, many things are in the media, one only has to use resources and search them,,,,

Semantics aren't necessary here - Trumps comment about the election and voter fraud has been the overwhelming focus since the debate ended - sure one can dig comments on the rest of the real issues discussed in the debate out but why should one have to when Trumps remarks should have gotten subordinate attention in the 1st place

because media can and never will cover every important event or quite simultaneously and at once

there has been reports on fact checks and their responses as well

its not that we have to 'dig' its that we have to look at the sources that don't have to rely on sponsorship,, to get less of the bias that is marketed to the base their sponsors need to make money

Seems to me that you too have totally missed the whole point - as did the President, the Congress, and the media - That point being that analysis and comments about Trumps remarks overwhelmingly overshadowed any other discussions about the real issues.

that's because americans OVERWHELMINGLY reflect in their viewing the REVERENCE of the 'AMERICAN' brand,, be it the flag of the democratic process

any detour from that gets MAJOR PRESS,,,but not the only press
