Here is what I would ask vocal Trump supporters to consider. 20, 30, 50 years from now your friends, children, and grandchildren will know you defended this clown. Is that the legacy you want?

I get it - it is hard to admit you are wrong. It is hard for all of us. But I would ask you to consider the ling term damage supporting this man will do to your reputation.
Most of his supporters will be dead in 20 years.... just sayin’...

From the "More popcorn needed", files: Trump campaign to sue CNN over pro-impeachment bias, demands ‘substantial payment’

In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of “excellence in journalism.”
...
While media is typically protected by the First Amendment, Harder said the bias he cited at CNN was a violation of the Lanham Act “by constituting misrepresentations to the public, to your advertisers, and to others” to distribute “truly fair and balanced” news.

“Accordingly, my clients intend to file legal action against you, to seek compensatory damages, treble damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, reimbursement of legal costs, and all other available legal and equitable remedies, to the maximum extent permitted by law,” said the letter.

What’s more, he suggested that even if the campaign and CNN come to an agreement, he would seek money as part of that deal
.​

Apparently, the Lanham Act deals with the matter of "False advertising": Lanham Act | Wikipedia

The Act prohibits a number of activities, including ... false advertising.​

Should be a very easy case for Trump to win.

Donald must realize that his days are numbered.... he's looking to cash in before he gets run out of Washington on a rail.
"He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."

And win or lose, it's a great way to bully the media into being more pro-Donald.
Nah. Nobody at CNN or any real media fears Trump. They all know he is a paper tiger.

An Afghan freedom fighter (back before they were terrorists; they were still fighting the Soviets) once said, "we are not afraid of the Soviets... but we are afraid of their helicopters."

Donald is harmless... his lawyers are not. The more desperate he gets, the more thorough they get...

... and he's running out of things to lose.

IDK, that what I'm trying to find out. Still no actual stats?

Blue text in a post indicates something called a "link" which you can click on with your mouse (or finger, if you're viewing this on a smartphone) which will lead you to the stats you seek.

Problem is, first, that doesn't answer the question, so not sure the color, but click those little arrows by the quoted posters name in order to get to the original post/question, and next time don't leave out 50% of the so-called info.

Secondly, regardless of what side I took, I personally, I would never consider those numbers accurate without proof. But if you really think no anti Trumper would be untruthful, well, alrighty then.

If you consider Donald to be utterly trustworthy and above reproach, that would make us even.
