I Am Completely Gobsmacked . . . 

. . . to find out that Donald Trump has banned Washington Post reporters, as well as those of other major news outlets, from attending his campaign events.  They have had their press credentials taken away, and as you will see in the story below, his security is not even allowing a reporter to attend a rally as a private citizen.  This should be a wake-up call to every Trump supporter.  I had several other ideas in mind to write about today.  (Actually, I was going to ask why the Democrats seem to get all the good speechwriters.)  But this action by the Trump campaign takes the cake.  It is simply more of the same attitude that Trump showed previously when he threatened to sue reporters who wrote anything negative about him.  Folks, this is scary stuff.  Whatever criticisms you may have of Hillary Clinton, and there are puh-lenty of them to have, believe me, this is operating on a whole ‘nother plane.
