Classic diversion technique: Expend lots of time and $$ on a side issue that is not important in order to divert attention from real more important issues (immigration, crap economy, Obamacare, etc. )where you are vulnerable. Why does the media let him get away with this?
I agree, it’s a diversion. But most people either don’t care about climate change or do not believe it. The items you listed are at the top of the list of things people do care about.
IMO, this diversion is really an irritant, one that will backfire and PO the voters and just give more support to the Trump/Cruz folks. Just about anything the current establishment does, gun control, climate change, EPA rulings, etc will PO the voters.
I think the left is in a lose lose situation.
