If he can't stand the heat, he is not fit to serve in the Oval Office.

He should also release his tax returns like virtually all other Presidential candidates have for many years. His reticence stokes doubt about his wild unverified claims of a net worth of $10 billion.

That was a typo in the topic title. I am not accusing any of Donald Trump's relatives of restricting press access.

Dogbite, I certainly dont admire Trump for restricting any press. What are your feeling on Hillary not having a press conference in 8 months?

That stinks.

She may have appeared on the Sunday morning talk shows, but I would have refused to listen to her.

I love politics, but I would rather listen to honest analysts than the politicians. It's what they do that matters, not what they say.

Someone who cannot withstand public scrutiny should not seek public office.

The press also stinks. Not everyone thinks they are prescious China dolls like you and thinks we should coddle them even after they lie and put out falsehoods, deceipt, political opinion, etc. many people find it refreshing to have someone put them in their place, so it isn't all one sided.

At least Trump has not used robes to hold back the press from asking questions ......lol

Hillary Clinton's campaign used a rope to keep journalists away from the candidate while she walked in this small town's July Fourth parade.

Meanwhile, I bet Jill Stein would be happy for some press coverage, and I think she'd be willing to answer some questions.
