The "Fake News" only desire to influence the following:
1) The fence sitters.
2) The Naive.
3) The uninformed.
4) The uneducated.
5) The ignorant.
6) The narrow-minded.
7) The Millennials.
8) The hard core Liberals.
9) The Independents.
10)The Dim-witted.
11)The Democrats that suffer from "Soreloseritis."
The "Fake News" know they can't sway the Conservative/Republican voters. Trump has a "Base" that will not budge one iota when it comes to their loyalty. Those in the above list, are fair game though. Many years ago I was one of those who couldn't care less when it came to Politics. I was a "Late bloomer" when it came to voting. The first time I voted was in 1980 and I voted for Ronald Reagan. At first, I identified with the Republican Party, however, now I consider myself a "Conservative Independent."
I cannot see myself voting for any Democratic Candidate. The Democratic Party has been "Hijacked" by the "Ultra-far-left-wing liberals." Because of this, the Democrat Party has fallen far short in the fund's department and it's continuing to lose elections. If they fail to move to the center, they will lose in 2018 and 2020.
