Sorry but the media is still trying to hype it, and blame it on Trump. Yes all those things male a difference but you know as well as I, if it bleeds, it leads.
i never said they were or weren't, and nothing about trump.
I just pointed out something that has been said from the onset. Success will always look like we overreacted.
To say that something 'isn't as bad' could point to hype and overreaction or to success. Which you choose will likely depend on what you want to believe. Perhaps one day we will have a better understanding of what transpired and it's affect, but i doubt it will be for a while.
