What?

Follow this. The mainstream news channels ABC, CBS and NBC (including cable outlets CNN, MSNBC, AND CNBC) went all-in, full campaign-for-Hillary mode right after the first debate.

This was in stark contrast to the $billions of pro-Trump coverage leading up to the primaries and represented a major departure from the ratings bonanza he represented to them prior to that time. Their suddenly failing ratings also marked that point in time, especially CNN who dropped from a strong 2nd place to 3rd behind MSNBC, but all suffered to some degree.

Meanwhile -- and this isn't a call to trumpet or spike the ball -- FoxNews ratings went up. They had not altered their programming which still included balanced programs that regularly included Liberal guests and viewpoints.

Because the coverage included an entire cast of liberal anchors, pundits and producers, the barrage of false negative attacks on Trump was 24/7 -- rarely even taking a break. Again, this was never-before programming because although they were known for being biased, this was an insane slant and radically extreme in comparison.

The public was evolving during this as well, simultaneously beginning to hear the Donald's pronouncements of a "corrupt media" at the same time as "corrupt Hillary" began to hit the airwaves. Another thing that developed at this time surely was resistance to the barrage of dirty Ads, similar to the ones of which we all grow sick -- commercials for products that run 12 times a day on TV. A callous began to form over the public to the falsity of the obviously liberally-biased show by the News people -- a backlash in the making.

Along with this resistance to outlandish repetitions of ads simultaneously was the ability to see through them. A phenomenon that salesmen are taught from day 1 is this: DO NOT EVER TRY TO SELL YOUR PRODUCT BY BADMOUTHING THE COMPETITION. The people were onto what they saw as a con game.

The reason is that a large amount of people will have the curiosity of why the presentation is one-sided and nothing is said about YOUR PRODUCT. Suspicion is suddenly born.

The HRC campaign had this problem from the beginning since they had very little to talk about regarding their product. In fact, they argued among themselves as to the answer of their own campaign direction!

The bottom line result of this process was that people in all parties, sides, genders, races were touched by the anger they were seeing which aligned with the anger they were feeling about such a one-sided experience.

They rebelled in massive force to the failed liberal policies, ones which included the kind that delivered implicit judgment over PERSONAL CHOICE OF CANDIDATE, intelligence level and character -- "DEPLORABLE."
