Simply question for the DC Political/Media/Business machine
Why is choosing the moderators for a Presidential candidate debate more important to Fox News then having the front running Presidential candidate at the debate? Are the candidates or the Networks the focus of the debate?
That right there shows just why this whole “debate” process is totally messed up. The “Journalists” now think they are part of the story, not there to report on the event.
And our professional politicians are too cowardly to challenge them on it.
Senator Cruz, if elected are YOU going to be in charge or is the News media going to dictate TO you then also?
Trump makes himself look like a small minded idiot with this jihad against Megyn Kelly. I don’t watch television. I have a vague notion of who Megyn Kelly is and I recall her from the last debate. I have no opinion on her one way or the other. In any debate, if Trump wants to push back against a line of questioning, that is his prerogative. But insult is not argument or debate. The crude misogynist garbage that spews out his mouth should be disqualifying.
In my opinion, being there and facing Megyn Kelly is less than half the story. How they respond to questions from an Islamic apologist, an illegal immigrant and a Sanders supporter/communist will be far more important and will tell us a great deal about the candidates themselves.
As I posted yesterday, I want to see someone respond thusly:
“Ms. Noor, thank you for the question. You have called Donald Trump a bigot, a racist, a Nazi and equated him - and, by extension, all of us on this stage - with Adolf Hitler. Do you realize or acknowledge that the world views and aims of Nazism and Islam - in 1932 as today, are almost identical in every respect? Are you aware that the founders of the Muslim Brotherhood also founded the Nazi Party of Egypt? Do you realize that the Waffen SS, run by Heinrich Himmler himself, commissioned and fielded three entirely Muslim divisions and that they were blessed by the Mufti of Jerusalem? Do you realize that the Nazi Party has officially re-emerged - not in Germany, but in Egypt?â€
“I could go on, but, with all due respect, Ms. Noor, it is not Donald Trump, me, the Republican Party or even America that has a problem with Islam. The problem with Islam is Islam itself. You have a problem that you refuse to acknowledge or deal with and no amount of political correctness or feigned offense will change that fact.â€
I’d like to see at least a few of them respond in a similar fashion to Dulce Candy about Mexico’s immigration laws and Mark Watson about the realities of socialism/communism. I’ll be happy with any variation on that theme, from any candidate. What we’re likely to see is a number of the candidates take the touchy-feely, politically-correct “high road” and see their poll numbers plummet - and rightly so.
