Fox Noise and Donald Trump are desperate to discredit the Democratic candidates. Although it is true this week’s Democratic debate was disorganized and chaotic, the result of CBS’ poor choice of moderators, including Gayle King and Nora O’Donnell, it was not close to the fiascos which occurred four years ago between 16 Republican candidates.
In 2016 the first Republican debate was conducted by Fox. One of the moderators was Megyn Kelly. There was no actual debate. Trump knew nothing about the issues and immediately began personal attacks aimed at his opponents. No one attempted to stop the charade, with the exception of Kelly. When Fox showed mercy for its viewers and the farce was over, Trump insulted Kelly. A summation of his remarks claimed that “Megyn Kelly was mean to him because she was experiencing her monthly cycle.”
Each “debate” became worse than the one before. Not once were the issues most important to the American people discussed. 15 out of 16 passengers in the clown car displayed a complete lack of self-control and a less than average intellect. Only Ohio Governor John Kasich showed an ability to win the nomination. Of course, because qualifications mean little to Republican voters, Trump won the nomination.
November 8, 2016 became the saddest day in American history.
With the exception of Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer, all of the Democratic candidates would make a far better president than the orange bully defiling the White House today. It’s not that Bloomberg and Steyer would not be an improvement on Trump, but, like Trump, they have no experience in local, state, or federal government, and Donny Boy has proven that this is crucial.
Can anyone honestly believe that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, or any of the others would have been a great improvement on the failures of DJT?
