I thought she handled it quite gracefully.
Morgan, not so much.
No she didn’t. If you think that was gracefully handled then you are just being an apologist for a conservative. Be realistic. She didn’t even cut the interview off gracefully. It was awkward and downright silly.
Here you have a woman whose 15 minutes of fame are all but up. She didn’t win her seat and she’s not consequential enough for her book to have any real meaning. Despite that, she’s given a stage to spout sound conservative principles. Rather than just answer the questions and quickly move the subject back onto topics she wants to discuss, she plays a stupid game.
You want people to listen? Give answers people want to hear.
Piers asked, “Do you support gay marriage?”
Why not just say, “No, I don’t.”
“So you’d restore don’t ask, don’t tell?”
“Yep. I’m not out to convert homosexuals or people who sympathize with their agenda - like yourself - right now. Honestly, they’re never likely to listen to a sound conservative opinion on fiscal responsibility anyway. I’m out to make folks who aren’t one issue voters aware of the things we can do to make this country fiscally sound... blah blah blah.”
Most politicians like Christine are cowards. They refuse to just say what they believe. And why? She might offend the 2-3% gays out there? Or the moonbats that sympathize wholeheartedly with their agenda?
Who cares. She blew it. Good luck getting another national platform on which to discuss sound conservative ideas, Christine. You may get one or two, but that’s about it.
