"EXACTLY what you would expect by Oligarch-controlled Media whose owners profit off of labor arbitrage and outsourcing-then-reimporting-with-no-tariff, while getting a tax brake for the cost of moving overseas."
It's also what you'd expect when an incompetent egotistical, reality TV B lister tries unsuccessfully to masquerade as President of the US.
Perhaps some of the media bashing is well earned?

Pssst, he won the Electoral College and IS the President of the United States. Despite the Media, and indeed, possibly because they overplayed their hand.
How are those special election victories foreshadowing 2018 for ya?
They're holding on to the fallacy that once they remove Trump, we'll go back to 1990s and 2000s style Conservativism, all about abortion bullshit, which is deader than a doorknob. The Democrats wish for that, too.
We see Amazon and Ebay and other Huge Corporations that profit greatly off outsourced-then-imported goods agreeing with the SPLC, who has Muslim reformers like Majiid Nawaz ylisted as Hate Extremists.
And sure enough, their controlled media HATES anybody who isn't for Open Borders to help their Corporations.
The next phase is to purge the Party of "True Conservatives" who never fund the already-authorized Wall (back in the 90s when Clinton gave lip service to it), constantly remove H1B caps, give tax breaks to outsourcing companies, say they're for Free Trade with Communist China - transferring high tech manufacturing to a rival while banning Canadian Drugs (a NAFTA member FFS!!!), and remaining silent in the face of an outburst of #AltLeft Rage and Violence.

Still trending great! Looking forward to 2018 actually.

So what explains their hatred towards Clinton then? The studies show she received more negative articles than Trump

Is it 0-3 or 0-4, I forget?
Oh, 0-4. Losing by a little less in a no incumbent election is still losing.

Since i'm in a rare non-troll mode today ( lack of sugar ), I'll posit that this seems to be the straw that broke the camels back.
it' s unprecedented afaik...

The other honest point: The Media did not participate in the demonization of Obama, and indeed all but Canonized him.
Is it 0-3 or 0-4, I forget?
It's an average swing of +14 points or so toward Dems.
"Oh, 0-4. Losing by a little less in a no incumbent election is still losing"
Yep, but foreshadows better results in 2018
Every district isn't gerrymandered to +30 Red.
The War on Drugs is what is tearing this country apart
Agreed on the failed war on drugs (I'm for legalizing most if not all drugs), but drugs are not pervasive in everyone's life, SJWs and their consequences are. So it's not tearing the country apart, but it certainly is causing damage.
That's hardly surprising, most parties want to deny their opponents more terms. I guarantee there have been high ranking Democrats saying they want to deny Reagan or Bush (or Eisenhower) a second term.
Paul Ryan has worked with Obama to have a non-budget year after year.
Republicans in the Senate, like McCain, who campaigned on Repealing the Aetnacare Subsidy, find reasons not to do so.
Republicans in both Houses that support the Wall and Border Controls, never fund anything (for many years now). Indeed, the often lift H1B caps.
"Managed Democracy"
And all this while they have a majority.
It's because they're the Controlled Opposition, which is why they like Issues like Abortion and Euthanasia so much. They don't have to do anything "Real" "Bread and Butter" to generate votes with the base. They hate dealing with Immigration and Economic Nationalism, because they and their Donors secretly agree with it.
It's an average swing of +14 points or so toward Dems.
In a race without an incumbent and, in Georgia, no primary, which is why it's a special election. It can't be compared to a regular scheduled election that generally has both a primary AND an incumbent.
It's like comparing a meal eaten by Texans in a power outage versus one eaten with power. "Oh look, the lack of beef during Harvey is a foreshadowing that Texans are becoming more vegetarian."
"In a race without an incumbent and, in Georgia, no primary, which is why it's a special election. It can't be compared to a regular scheduled election that generally has both a primary AND an incumbent."
OK, feel free to make excuses for why Reps have lost 14 pts. on average in the special elections. But I'll continue to look forward to the mid-terms.
It occurred to me that ever since the Democrats abandoned their representation of working people in favor of non-stop identity politics, there has been a vacuum.
In steps Donald Trump, and starts saying exactly what the Democrats have failed to say:
* American workers have been badly screwed by globalization, particularly the wholesale shipping of US manufacturing to China.
* Illegal aliens drive down wages for poor US citizens.
* Obamacare has dramatically increased the cost of medical insurance, to the point where insurance for a family of four can easily be greater than rent or a mortgage.
The country would have been far better off if Bernie was nominated by the DNC.

Simply put, the top like 1% of the nation own more property and assets than the bottom 90% or something like that
"That's why they're the top 1%."
Uh, OK. They were still the 1% in 1960 but they held a MUCH smaller percentage of the property and assets.
If Trump refused to condemn Neo-Nazis by name shortly after Charlottesville, it makes him a neo-Nazi...
Therefore, if Obama refused to condemn Radical Islamic Terror after multiple incidents in the US, Europe and the World, it makes him a ...
What is the Democratic Platform?
What is the Republican Platform?
So much winning, you'll grow tired of it. It must be exhausting
"You forgot #5 for the Democrats: Refuse Single Payer, institute subsidies for Health Insurance Companies, with no cost or premium increase controls. Even though everybody except the 1% in the US wanted Banks to be whipped and re-regulated back to the New Deal standards"
You're funny. It's true that some percentage of elected Dems didn't want single payer. But 100% of Republicans are against it. As is Trump.
Why don't you vote for more progressive Dems in the primaries? That's how you're going to get politicians with the same views as you.

Democratic leaders assumed that working class and poor white people would simply continue to vote Democratic even while being demonized by their own party, since the Republicans remained the party of capital as ever, and still do not really represent working class and poor people. But this left poor whites, and poor white men in particular, with no representation in either party.

* American workers have been badly screwed by globalization, particularly the wholesale shipping of US manufacturing to China.

The Democrats say that manufacturing is not possible for our economy anymore, but the massive examples of Japan and Germany doing just fine on modern manufacturing prove them wrong. What working whites hear is that the Democratic Party really doesn't care what happens to them, and maybe actually hates them just for their race or gender.
So whether by luck or skill, The Donald actually says the truths that Democrats still fail to acknowledge. Thus his "inexplicable" popularity among poorer white voters, who are then demonized yet again as racists by the Democrats, simply for wanting some representation in government.
I keep trying to understand exactly what happened, and I think this is a fair explanation. Trump needed to declare himself a Republican to get access to the party machinery, but in reality, he is a one-man Labor Party, something America has been missing.
