“If Trump had responded like Pence, Khan would never have seen the light of day and the press would still be focused on the emails, the DNC alliance against Bernie, and Hillary’s four Pinocchio’s.”
Surely this was meant as a joke. I can’t believe any who’s actually watched the media or read mainstream journalists would really believe that. The press barely wanted to discuss those subjects (or anything negative for Hillary) for a couple of days after they broke and would certainly have already moved on to other topics of their own devising regardless of whatever else happened. The idea that the mainstream media would spend weeks talking about Hillary’s “Pinocchios” or deleted emails is really very humorous. (If only we lived in such a world!) They long ago stopped talking about the emails until Trump forced them to with his Russia comments.
You make good points. Bailing on the debates won’t look good for Hillary—but participating in them could end up looking/being far worse. It will be interesting to watch.
That makes a lot of sense. In his tightly scripted convention appearance Khan looked fairly American. When he got done with his Trump-induced temper tantrum, he looked thoroughly muslim.
