Tendentious? You bet it is. That's the point. Potemkin messiahs never face a televised engagement against narrowly-focused and background supplied opposition, to people aiming at dissecting their fundamental beliefs in order to prove them wrong in public and ruin their candidacies. In fact, Liberals are protected form it, which is why their governing notions are so stale, unimaginative and out of touch with reality. Hilary Clinton was subjected to a simulacrum of it in the run up to 2008 when the media ditched her for Barack Obama, and she cried publicly. Only conservatives and Republicans face these lions as they are the Far-Right, the enemy, the Christians in the Colosseum. The lugubrious political corollary to this electorally salubrious fact for Democrats is that voters never get to see them mix it up--really mix it up with the survival of their candidacies hanging in the balance of every skirmish--with people convinced to the core of their error and dead set on exposing them. Pity. Noman thinks we could learn so much, especially who to trust and not to trust with leadership responsibilities.
