5. They bombarded the media with endless propaganda for starters

First, they turned the media into all Trump, all the time, drowning out every single one of his repuke primary opponents. Second, they propped him up by giving him special privileges, namely allowing only him to flout norm after norm, while denying opponents the same courtesy, or lack thereof. Third, the media refused to call him out on his childish namecalling and relentless bullying of his repuke primary opponents, attacks on the media, and civility and decency themselves.

It came out that the Orange Menace paid off the media to look the other way while he conspired with the repukes and Russia to wreak havoc on the American election system. I'm only scratching the surface.

The propaganda machine was so relentless that HRC and the Democrats had no chance against a pro-Tramp media, who were in the tank for him from the getgo.
