One thing I caught the day after the debate was that CNBC host Becky, not so, Quick talked Marco into an interview the day after the debate on her pathetic show.
Bleary eyed and almost hung over she told him he could talk about anything he wanted.
This after he was lambasted in front of 14 million viewers! Now he can have his say in front of a quarter of a million viewers.
The driveby version of fairness.
What I find so amazing is that they want to have the Republicans go into infinite details on their tax plans, and actually scoff and challenge them, saying “It won’t fix the deficit, it won’t get enough money to pay down the debt”, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
Yet listen to the same media types conduct a democrat debate:
Mod: “Ms. Clinton, what are you going to do about millions of young Americans who have crushing college loan debts?”
Hillary: “Why, it is awful! I think we should forgive all the student loan debts. It is too much of a burden on those people.”
Mod: “Senator Sanders?”
Bernie: “Hell yes, I agree. Also, we need to make college FREE for anyone who wants to go!”
There is no follow up about how it can be paid for, how it raises the national debt, and what will become of the economy if billions of $ is “wiped out” and all those government backed loans are defaulted?
No questions, no follow up!!!!??? The media is pleased with the answers, obviously?
Meanwhile, back at the Republican debate, we hear:
Mod: “Ms. Fiorina, surely you can’t be serious! Only THREE pages? That’s ridiculous!” (<— note that is not a question, but a statement of opinion)
Carly: “Yes, regular folks do not have an army of tax lawyers and accountants to try to figure out the tax could... And don’t call me Shirley.”
(note I’m not endorsing Fiorina, but was shocked when the mods started arguing with her about it)
I’m sure y’all saw them try to give it to Cruz, Rubio and Huckabee about their individual tax plans, with all those scathing questions and comments and follow ups on why none of them would work. But FREE college, man, that’s unicorn money!
And this from a “business” network?!?!?
