"Bias" Of Debate Moderators In Their Own Words

From the transcript:

NO: Let's talk about the State of Democracy, the top issue for Americans after the economy and inflation. After the 2020 election, President Trump's campaign and others filed 62 lawsuits contesting the results. Judges, including those appointed by President Trump and other Republican Presidents looked at the evidence and said there was no widespread fraud.

This bothered me to no end, and I wish Vance had countered it. I may be wrong; but my understanding is that no judge actually "looked at the the evidence" in terms of hearing and examination and cross-examination of any evidence; nor did any judge "say there was no widespread fraud" after hearing a case and all its evidence. Instead, the cases brought by Giuliani and others claiming fraudulent electoral actions were dismissed on procedural grounds such as "lack of standing"—not on the basis of any evidence.

If there are any lawyers among us who know better, please explain. But if my recollection is correct, Vance let that turd remain floating in the punchbowl for the legally illiterate U.S. public.

“I was shouting obscenities at the TV when the “moderator” used Hurrican Helene as a segway into a question about climate change. These leftwing propagandists are disgusting and shameless.”

When the candidates agree to debate certain topics, they’re not really debating the same topics. The moderators ensure that all of the topics are from a left-wing point of view. It’s all about the left-wing agenda.

The topic of Hurricane Helene becomes climate change.

The topic of illegal immigration becomes an issue about human rights.

The topic of vote fraud becomes a racial issue.

Republican candidates will always be on defense. The issues and concerns of Republican voters will never be properly addressed.

The only remedy is to stop doing debates. The most powerful word in the English language is “No”.

If spending, hence inflation, were brought under control, there would be no “child care crisis”.

The child care "crisis" stems from liberal women resenting having to raise the children that they didn't abort.

It's the homemaker versus career dilemma that is creating a "crisis" only in the minds of liberals, and especially a liberal female debate moderator panel. O'Donnell has three children (twins are 17, 16) Brennan has two (6, 3).

From now on, GOP should refuse debates, unless:

-- they get to choose half the moderators, or
-- there are no moderators at all

Any other arrangement will always turn into an event designed to promote the communist agenda.

Bring on the AI moderators ! It can’t be any worse than the moderators they have used.
