Cokie Roberts: Trump and Those Who Support Him are ‘Morally Tainted’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/16/2016 7:04:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Question for Cokie Roberts and Joe Scarborough: does the name Hillary Clinton ring a bell? On today’s Morning Joe, NPR’s Roberts and Scarborough proclaimed Donald Trump “morally tainted.” Roberts took it one step further, also declaring “morally tainted” those who support Trump.

Scarborough asked Roberts whether she’d ever seen “a candidate so morally tainted, so challenged that people are calling him a racist and calling him a con man, at the same time saying we support him?” Roberts said no one has ever seen anything like this, and for good measure, citing her roots growing up in the Jim Crow South, suggested Trump’s candidacy was a “stain” taking the country back in that direction.

But when it came to being morally tainted, Hillary’s name never crossed the lips of Roberts or Scarborough.

And you, Cokie - as a member of the lying, conniving, hateful press are morally superior or something? Take a look in the mirror.

From the looks of her, she’s already in them.

If I remember correctly, back around 1992 when Bill Clinton was running for President there were rumors that Cokie Roberts was REALLY close to him (and by really close we are talking “Lewinsky” close)...

Ms. Roberts is showing signs of dementia, imo.

I suggest she retire now (doing us both a favor) and enjoy what’s left of her heretofore miserable life.

And repenting and believing the Good News before she meets the Almighty would be a good use of her time as well.

She looks like E.T and Don Knotts had a love child.

Didn’t Bill Clinton drive Cokie’s dad to the airport for that ill-fated flight, or something? Hmm.

I posted this to another thread, but it seems to have died out...

The majority of Americans know Trump from a reality show. While the show was about business, Trump was known more for his grandiose style and ruthless decision making.

All the establishment’s and media’s rationalizations, hand-wringing and disinformation campaigns have been completely flummoxed by the Trump phenomenon. From their perspective, his presentation is juvenile; his delivery infantile; his policy puerile; and his style often hostile. Trump is a joke, and wholly inadequate for the serious position. All the experts have to do is show this and he will lose.

They will continue to employ their entire arsenal of slander, but it’s already over. Trump combines the worst characteristics of both the nouveau-riche and the bourgeoisie. He epitomizes everything the establishment hates. Trump is the embodiment of the brash, unvarnished, crude American dream.

The reason nothing sticks to Trump, is we already know his faults, and they make him the more perfect messenger. Americans are really a simple people, and we have one simple message for Washington, from a spokesman synonymous with one phrase:

“You’re fired.”

Morally tainted?

We have two billionaires running against each other.

One made his money in real estate.

One made her money taking bribes on an industrial scale. Investigating her finances will get you a flight out a 23rd story window. And her supporters don’t care. Not one iota.

How do the totalitarians expect to recruit young members to their cause when they trot out these old hags every day? Geesh.

It’s 2016. It’s no time for the words of soft old women. They need to sit down and shut up before they get us all beheaded.

Dear Cokie Roberts: Bill Clinton is the one morally tainted - has even been accused of rape. What about Bill’s friend the pedophile? Hillary is morally tainted. How about going after them?

This is the same moron who said pilots shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns because they might shoot up the plane.

Stunningly stupid comment.

It’s so obvious, except to that 6%. They’re just a lost cause. They’ll never get it.
