So Trump nearly falls on his skull walking up 4 stairs in New Hampshire last night and it barely gets a mention anywhere?

When Hillary stumbled a little in NYC it was at the top of the news for days.

Accidental missteps can plague anyone. The problem isn’t that there was no coverage of Trump’s stumble — the problem was the 2016 RW promoting Hillary’s stumble as proof of her unfitness for office, while the MSM reported on this just because the RW media made such an issue out of it.

I’m old enough to recall SNL Chevy Chase incessantly mocking Ford, who was fit and athletic, for a similar stumble. That portrayal helped to solidify the image of Ford as incompetent, when it was mockery far from reality. What doomed Ford was his fatal answer in a debate — but SNL certain harmed him and made him more susceptible to defeat well before then.
