I never saw anything like I did in the 2016 GOP presidential campaign primary. The other candidates were literally shut out of any access apart from the debates. This is ALL on Zucker. Not Fox, not Murdoch, not hate radio. ALL on Zucker.

The presidency is not a reality TV show. By trying to make it one, Zucker literally ruined the country by pushing this monster as anything approaching a viable candidate.
