Donald Trump, during a campaign speech, says he has no interest in a debate controlled by hostile media...and in an aside, said, "Fox News".

I have noticed more and more hostility toward Trump on Fox News.

One show that is particularly hostile is Fox Business, with Neil Cavuto, (one of Fox News's producers). Cavuto can't seem to help himself. He constantly hosts hostile candidates who hate Trump, such as Asa Hutchinson, who said on the air, that he could NEVER vote for a convicted felon, (meaning Trump), for President, and Chris Christie who just hates Trump to pieces and is actively working against him. Cavuto also makes comments personally that show his bias. Then he has the nerve to say things like, "always fair and balanced".

Brett Baier made it known, (with a small dig on air), that HE is biased against Trump, and Howie Kurtz, of media buzz, is also fairly consistent with little digs. Arthel Neville, also of Fox news, actually corrected a guest yesterday when he sounded TOO pro Trump.

I don't blame Trump for naming the only network that used to support him as (now), hostile.

Conservatives have NO remaining primetime news that is sympathetic to our views, IMO.

Well, Trump's failures are in leadership. While we all cheer the way he puts the Democrats and their media pals in their place, he struggles to bring anti-Democrats and Republicans to form a team. On day one of the Trump administration, Jeff Sessions fell into the Democrats' trap. Then Trump failed to clean out Democrat loyalists from the DOJ, FBI, etc.and as a result, the Trump administration wasted the years defending itself from insiders in the administration.

Than he failed to keep disloyal Republicans at a distance and failed to bring in Democrats to replace the obstructionist Republicans, and as a result the American people were struck with Obamacare.

While I love the anti-Democrat attacks, there's the leadership that's missing. I'm now 100% behind Doug Burgum and 85% Tim Scott. Two men with demonstrated leadership abilities and who appeal to most Americans and not just to us anti-Democrats because they can leap above the name-calling and "gotcha" politics. See what Doug did for North Dakota and listen to what he's saying, and the best part is that he can say it without insulting all Democrats.

@Heartlander Well, I will probably have to say that is a throwaway vote. I certainly have never heard of Doug Burgam till this afternoon.

@4meAndyou :) He's the 2nd term governor of North Dakota. A successful business man and computer trail-blazer turned politician. No one gave him a snowball chance in hell to walk in off the street and become governor. But there he is now, in his 2nd term.

Of all the contentious issues facing America today, he is probably the single candidate smack in the middle with in-depth, hands-on experience: energy, automation, economy, immigration, infrastructure. As far as I can tell, he's the closest thing to a new Ronald Reagan. Maybe a bit better in that he's both a former high-tech exec and a real estate exec.

A few years ago I heard him speak at a college commencement and my take away was that he was also far ahead of the crowd on education, and how education has to adapt to the evolving world while not surrendering our core values.

God Bless Trump for his smackdowns of Democrats and the press; but once elected, there are different priorities than crowd sizes and petty "gotcha" with Democrats.
