Debate Commission Fiasco Reinforces the Need to Re-Elect Donald J. Trump

Even Bob Dole knows they’re a bunch of #NeverTrump nitwits. – In the midst of the running controversy over the Commission on Presidential Debates on Friday, America heard from perhaps the most unlikely source imaginable when Bob Dole weighed in on the matter.

In a tweet, the former Kansas Senator, WWII hero and 1996 presidential contender flayed the Commission for what it truly is: A bunch of swampy, Trump-hating jackasses:

Well, ok, he didn’t use the words “hating” or “jackasses,” but if you’ve ever been around Bob Dole for any length of time you know he was thinking them.

This is, of course, the absolute truth about this Commission, which is constituted exactly like the Op/Ed pages of the Washington Post and the New York Times. You have a pack of mindless leftists joined by a handful RINOs for “balance,” and not a single supporter of the President of the United States of America among them.

As a result, you end up with notorious Trump-hater and son of communist Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace as the moderator of the first debate; a former intern for Joe Biden as the second moderator; and Kristen Welker, NBC’s member of the White House press corps that regularly badgers the President with the most absurdly accusatory and biased questions possible as the third. These are the most “balanced” people this particular Commission was able to identify among the nation’s media establishment, which tells you all you need to know about how this game is perpetually rigged against Republicans. I mean, this group of moderators is not even exceptionally biased when compared to panels of the past.

This is also how you end up with Commission conspiring with the Biden campaign to declare that the second debate would be held “virtually,” without first consulting with the Trump people. The Biden handlers and Commission chairman Frank Fahrenkopf also claimed that the Biden camp was not consulted on that decision, but this is a transparent lie, and not the only one Farhrenkopf is guilty of telling over the past couple of days.

Farhrenkopf also backed up second debate moderator Steve Scully’s ludicrous claim that his Twitter account had been “hacked” after he messed up and tweeted out a message to Trump-hater Anthony Scaramucci Thursday night that he had intended to be a private message. Enterprising Twitter users determined that this was in fact no less than the third time that Scully has claimed to have been “hacked” after issuing embarrassing tweets.

Here’s a fact: Almost no one’s Twitter account is ever hacked. It pretty much never really happens, and if it does, it’s a crime. So, where is Scully’s police report? Yeah, that doesn’t exist despite Fahrenkopf’s absurd claim that the hacking was being investigated by some nebulous “authorities.”

It’s all a smelly load of horse manure, just like everything else that happens in the nation’s swampy capital, and it is just one more of a million reasons why I will walk barefoot over hot coals, broken glass, and acres of South Texas summertime sticker burrs to vote for President Donald Trump.

You should do the same.

That is all.

Every four years we ask ourselves the same question: How is it only biased Leftists are allowed to "moderate" presidential and vice-presidential debates?

I thought surely with Trump at the helm, this injustice would be corrected in 2020. So disappointed to realize I was wrong.

I hope we're not saying the same thing in 2024.

I’m with you!I never understand why we always negotiate against ourselves. Is this the best Trump could have done with the panel and moderators? Would the Biden team have walked away if Trump demanded something better? I just don’t understand the strategy here.

That's my best guess. Trump rarely has an opportunity to be seen by the general public without the media filter and needs these debates. Hence, he was at a disadvantage from the get-go with the Debate Commission.

As VP Mike Pence showed last Thursday night, it is possible to win a debate even if the moderator has a built in bias.

Very few insider, Elite, Swamp Republicans want Trump to win. Look what Bob Dole said ....he is friends with all the Republicans on the debate commission and all of them are against Trump. Trump has exposed these evil people for what they are : elite globalists who are only interested in staying in that category.
