Me... The so-called liberal media gave Trump a ridiculous amount of free airtime and legitimized what was essentially a stunt candidacy. They shouldn't have even covered his announcement speech and yet they not only covered it, they played it over and over again.

Trumpbot... Of course they should have covered his announcement speech! He was a legitimate candidate and deserved to be treated like all the other candidates!

Me...Really? So how did you like Webb's announcement speech? How about Gilmore's? Oh, that's right, they weren't televised.
