Well, you have talk radio and Sean Hannity who are also part of the press who helped promote Trump. If you live in a country where there is a free press, how can you complain about it? Get your own word out there. (Oops, I just realized that Trump did use media to get his word out. It's called Twitter and he actually did better when someone took his twitter toy away from him, lol.) Maybe the other candidates would have fared worse against Hillary, but who really knows? (There is no way to conduct a scientific experiment on that.) The best we can do is cite polls from back in the primaries which showed that Rubio could have beat her and then, later, Cruz could as well. We also know from leaked emails that Trump is the one Hillary WANTED to run against because she apparently felt she had a better chance to beat him than the others.
