How Not To Normalize Trump

On the Media | May 13, 2016

"Who will Trump's VP pick be?"

"Where does he stand on tax policy?"

"Is he acting more presidential?"

Bob says: "Who cares?!" By asking him about policy flip-flops and speculating about his VP pick, the press is normalizing an abnormal candidate. Instead, they must stay on the real story: his dangerous statements about women, Muslims, and immigrants.
