“He doesn’t need to debate and take the chance of screwing up. Roberts is going to win regardless.”
Of course. It’s smart politics, but also smacks of elitism and aristocracy. Cornyn, McConnell, Cochran, Alexander, Roberts, none of them want an open debate to defend their records. And Graham only agreed to debate at the very last minute.
They all may win in the end, but their Establishment elitism is shining through.
Yep. Look up 'establishment elitism' in the dictionary and you'll find all their pictures next to the definition.
