If all Mr. Trump's statements truly did "stand on their own" there would be no need for the media to do anything but dutifully report them. Instead, they pluck them out of context, reinterpret what they "really" mean, and spin them for one, two, or three days depending on how long they think they can gain political advantage from it. In Mr. Trump's case, this is being done by the liberal media supporting Mrs. Clinton, as well as by much of the conservative media who support the old guard GOP who fear losing power in their own party. This is not to imply that Mr. Trump does not say some stunningly uninformed things from time to time, but not the steady stream spoon fed to us by the media, and not every comment on every topic as they would lead us to believe. As for unfitness to be president, Hillary lies nonstop, puts our national security at risk, fails to secure our mission in Benghazi, uses inside information to make money, uses her political position to make money...it never stops.
