1. hijacked?
I don't think they hijacked it as much as they drugged America and when America passed out they sodomized it, stole it's wallet and car keys, and then told America that they deserved it.

12. lol gnat fart coverage
It felt like they did especially at those poorly attended rallies, they were there every time framing things to look more crowded.
