Did a legal expert say that the Trump win against the16 opponents is not a real win?

Asked by flo (13313points) July 15th, 2016

As in, it’s not a real win, because the 17 of them weren’t competing on the same level? For example, Carly Fiorina didn’t call Trump, not good looking etc. Did he compete and win fairly against her? He didn’t. If you cheat on an exam sleep with the teacher, you get a zero, and you get a penalty for cheating. In whatever physical fight/sports you get kicked off for trying something illegal. All he was doing was calling them names being unpleasant (to say the least) to get them to quit. He fought dirty, they stuck to the issues /policies didn’t they? (except the unfortunate thig with Rubio/small hand thing. Was that a reply to Trump?) So how can it be called a win? https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=3l-JV5D1Ieih8weMzIXYBw&gws_rd=ssl#q=Trump+the+most+number+of+lies+

And the biggie: The 17 of them (and now Clinton is getting way less airtime) weren’t given equal air time in the media.

Your links don’t work.

And, while Trump is rude and crude, what “rule” did he break? How did he fight “dirty”?

Trump is an expert at dealing with the media. He knows there is no such thing as bad publicity as long as he stays in the public eye. Every outrageous statement he made had him on every news cast saying how awful he is, which crowded out the other candidates.

The Equal Time Rule does not apply to scheduled news casts or on the spot news events.

In politics, there’s only one way to determine winners and losers, Count the votes. It’s up to the electorate to determine what’s fair and what’s not.

The Equal Time Rule, for all practical purposes, does not apply at all anymore, especially since news broadcasts ceased to be considered “public service” time and started being considered revenue streams for cable and broadcast media.

@zenvelo What do you see exactly, on your screen re. the links, because I checked it before I posted and I’ve checked after your post
