BoomerDT If you are watching this thinking this may as the title claims, an analysis of why Donald Trump pulled off an incredible electoral upset, be prepared for a major disappointment. It's more about how these 3 arrogant, snide and condescending left wing "journalists" (Heilemann, Halperin & McKinnon) stroll through the media tents with access to behind the scenes areas of both campaign headquarters with an astonishing air of self-importance. I never watched the SHO series, "The Circus" and from watching this documentary, I didn't miss much. This is very heavily edited and slanted to make Trump supporters all look a bunch of reactionary escapees from a looney bin, plus glossing over the many, many faults of Hillary Clinton who may be as bad of a candidate that any party has ever nominated. Never voted for Bill or Obama, but I will admit that they were both excellent campaigners, especially WJC who was a very charismatic politician.If you are a Trump supporter, DVR it and fast forward to the final 15 minutes of election night. It's fun again to see the so-called expert pundits with excrement all over their faces. Plus their analysis of what occurred was spot wrong. They still didn't get what happened, ignoring the huge losses suffered by the Dems in all other elections across the country, except for the left coast and northeast. I guess from the left's POV the closing music, some sort of funeral dirge, was completely appropriate.
KatCoelho I watched this show...twice. I wanted to ensure that my first opinion was not correct; give them a second chance, if you will. Oh well, I've been wrong before in giving second chances. As this election progressed, it became more and more apparent that the media showed prejudice with their interpretations, rather than reporting. This show contained nothing more than opinions by an obviously prejudiced group of over-paid people. They over-embellished on almost everything they stated as "fact!" John Heilemann's abusive language was insulting to listen to...he had to use the "f" bomb at every available opportunity; which was not necessary. If he thought he was "being cool" in some way, he certainly was NOT. No one in my home speaks like that and I did not appreciate my 96-year-old mother having to listen to his disgusting language. Mark Halperin's comment, comparing Mr. Trump's winning the election equal to The Civil War, WWII, and 9/11 was one of the most idiotic remarks I have ever heard; it just proves the fact that the media is not what it used to be. REAL media personnel, like Walter Cronkite, told the truth the way it was; why do these reporters feel they have the right to give us nothing more than their poor interpretations. This entire election has shown us all that the media has gone to hell on a handcart and is most certainly not a trustworthy source of information of any kind. This is pathetic because, as always, WE, the citizens, are missing hearing the truth. WE, the citizens, continue to lose because Congress will not do their jobs and assist the man that the majority voted into office. He is the President of the United States and deserves the respect and assistance required to do a good job for ALL of us, but he cannot do that with his hands tied behind his back by Congress! After watching this show, I thought of the American saying, "Land of the free, home of the brave." Thanks to the debacle during this entire election, they may as well change that line to "Land where NOTHING is free; home of the homeless," because of the media and Congress. They are destroying us all. Thanks a lot for doing your part in making the United States of America a bigger laughing stock of the world than it already is. You cannot blame Mr. Trump for THAT. Wow, maybe there WAS more truth to this airing; just not the truth we were all hoping for.
CocksureBurns Despite the fragile butt-hurt feelings of interviewers Halperin and Heilemann, Trump is obviously the right man for the times. Sometimes one needs to break a few heads, and conventional wisdoms to make an omelet. A HUGE, beautiful, winning bigly omelet. And, as Halperin, Heilemann and McKinnon indicate, while nobody expected a moose-turd omelet for breakfast, that IS what was ordered. Shut-up and eat it.Obama broke the 'white ceiling'. HRC broke the 'glass ceiling' (by being the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major US political party). Now the tremendous Donald J. Trump has broken the 'rubber ceiling'.He has given inspiration to mental defectives everywhere to live their dreams of world domination. No more play-acting out your jerk-water fantasies in a padded room with action figures. Shed your straight jackets and fully realize your wildest alternative realities! The election of this fabulous Reality TV star has shown the low I.Q. populace that if you pool your resources with other intellectually challenged sociopaths, there's no limit to what you can't imagine to have accomplished. The future is as bright as your tinfoil hat!
eospaulding It's an insult to Fox, CBS, CNN, etc., to call the material in "Trumped" unprecedented. And the slant is clearly anti-Trump. Virulently so.Still, there's a lot of good news footage and some excellent interview material here. Nice piece of history, once we reach the point where the 2016 election isn't a just-gone-by current event. Too bad no effort was put into the reason the election came out the way it did. The obvious bias of the hosts/moderators is another drawback. There didn't seem to be even an attempt to explain the why of the outcome, just the disbelief of the non-winners.
