The Musk-Trump interview was a conversation between two businessmen who understand government regulations better than most politicians or media lapdogs do.

It was huge, or whatever other adjective explains a two-hour conversation over the internet. The Harris-Walz team, or the ones who have not sat down with anyone, are furious that Donald Trump had a conversation with Elon Musk. It came about 24 hours after Mr. Vance made the Sunday show rounds. One team is talking and the other isn’t. Hello media!

Let’s check out one reaction in particular:

Axios’ @sarafischer: ‘@elonmusk will let Donald Trump speak all of the falsehoods & misinformation that he wants. I mean, he’s not a journalist … Does he want to be fact checking all the information? So I think it‘s just a platform for Trump to come out [and] say whatever he wants.’

There were countless other negative media reactions, but the theme is consistent: Musk got him, we didn’t, and he will get a bigger audience than we can ever get.

The problem with the outraged journalists is that they know that the Democrats don’t respect them. Why would they? The press was in the tank for the guy doing a basement campaign, and then for allowing the same person to go a full term without legitimate press conferences. The Democrats know that they can deny an interview, but still get a glowing cover photo on TIME.

Let me add this. I think that the Musk-Trump conversation was very consequential. It was not the softball interview that the media is reporting.

But the DNC did to make mail in voting a thing, despite those changes going against a state like PA’s constitution.

You need better research skills... Pennsylvania experienced an unprecedented surge of mail balloting in the 2020 presidential election.
Because of the passage of Act 77 in 2019, the 2020 elections were the first federal elections in which all registered Pennsylvanians were eligible to apply for a mail ballot. The COVID-19 pandemic caused more Pennsylvanians to take advantage of this newfound ability to cast a mail ballot than anyone anticipated.

Snip...Many expressed concern about the number of voters who might be affected when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court clarified in September 2020 that the current state law is that naked ballots are not to be counted.

The DNC didn't do anything because they couldn't do anything as a political party. The STATE passed an ACT, not the DNC.

I don’t think we are walking the same ground here.
Indeed.

I am asking your opinion not to read Mark Elias mind.

Do you think my opinion will matter in any way as to what action he may or may not take?

“So I think it‘s just a platform for Trump to come out [and] say whatever he wants.’”

a big no-no, indeed: we absolutely cannot have people say whatever they want to ... in a fascist national socialist one-party state ...

“I, for one, think that Musk should be fair and sit down with Kamala for a 2 hour conversation.”:

seriously?

Musk has already publicly made that very offer to the kamala-waltz campaign ... the response has been crickets ... it’s not possible for kamala to have a 2-hour unscripted conversation ... she can’t even do one minute unscripted ...
