Take some steps back and see the whole picture. Why is the nation in turmoil over one man? [View all]

Upending democracy for one person is ridiculous. The media has created this frenzy; the evidence is against him. In the overall scheme, he is insignificant. Choose another candidate and move on. This media hysteria has fueled his personal vendetta. It is sucking the air out of all of us. The media has not been held accountable for their part in this explosion of angst. They need to turn down the temperature of the country.
