Everything you need to know about Tuesday's Republican debate (Mod Gerard Baker not a US citizen!)

Politico ^ | 11/8/15 | NOAH WEILAND

Why the hell is Gerard Baker, a foreigner on a work visa, moderating this debate?

[jimbo123]

Baker is the same guy who put Karl Rove on the Wall Street Journal payroll to pimp Jeb, pimp Amnesty and slam conservatives.

(Mod Gerard Baker not a US citizen!)

Big deal, neither is obamaramadingdong and a bunch of idiots elected him resident!

[Diogenesis]

Mr. Trump should ask why was no American available
as moderator.

[jimbo123]

Mr. Trump should ask why was no American available as moderator.

Exactly.

[CyberAnt]

I’ve seen a couple of other threads about this ... but nobody ever says what country Gerald Baker is from.

Does anybody know ..??

[jimbo123]

Baker is a British national.

[CyberAnt]

Okay .. thanks.

Politico fails fact checking 101, redux. They say Scott Stossel will be hosting Libertarian group at midnight. Took me a few minutes to check that Scott is John Stossel’s nephew, and according to Fox News schedule, John will be hosting midnight show.

Once again, lousy editors at Politico.

[Mazey]

Well, they must have heard from someone faster at the keyboard than I. They’ve corrected it to John, but don’t mention the correction.

Who are you going to believe?

[PIF]

Like the past “debates” or question and answer sessions, I’ll catch the upshot in the news some days later ...

[Howindependent]

Two comments worth noting here: Does it really matter who’s asking the questions so long as they are intelligent and not frivolous? And two, remember, this is Politico, the same bunch that gave us the fabricated Ben Carson crap.

[onyx]

How wonderful.

I hope one candidate calls him out on THAT factoid.

[jimbo123]

Our debates should be moderated by an American, not a foreigner with a work visa who can’t even vote.

What foreign country allows Americans to moderate their debates?

[jimbo123]

Baker is a smug Brit who refers to America as “The Colonies.”

[onyx]

He has NO business participating in the debate.

NO foreigner does.

Only legal, registered American voters do.

[jimbo123]

Agree. I mean, really, what foreign country allows Americans to moderate their debates?

[onyx]

I have NO idea!

The very idea sounds preposterous!

[who knows what evil?]

Baker is a smug Brit who refers to America as “The Colonies.”

The Colonies that kicked your redcoat asses about 240 years ago? The Colonies that saved your asses from Germany about 75 years ago? Those Colonies?

...Baker is a smug Brit who refers to America as “The Colonies.”...

Don’t guess it matters as long as he’s “fair” and “balanced”. What to take bets? :)
