"I am a totally unpartisan human being. And Hillary Clinton is as honest as the day is long. Do these people realize how idiotic they sound ?
Remember both her parents were Democrat members of the House of Representatives from Louisiana and her brother is a big money bundler for the Democrats.

I watched that bizarre episode, where Cokie tried to slam Trump by pulling the standard *race* and *children* cards. Trump, of course, had no part of Cokies projections. She licked her lip (a weird/awkward habit she has) even more than she usually does, during and after that exchange.

"[Trump] is one of the least qualified candidates ever to make a serious run for the presidency," Roberts wrote Less qualified than Obama, who was only in the Senate for 2/3rds of one term before running for President? Obama, who ran virtually unopposed in all prior elections by chasing the other candidates out of the election?
Less qualified than Rubio, who also was a one-term Senator who won because he ran against the disliked Charlie Crist?
The man who built a real estate empire is less qualified because he didn't win a few local elections first? That's the bar?

"Here is my basic approach to life," Roberts continued. "I am a totally unpartisan human being. I don't care which party has the right ideas or which party has the wrong ideas. I am very, very, very interested in civility. I am interested in government working."Three "very"s and two "interested"s - just incisive commentary ! She and Steve are two halves short of a full loaf.
Could be chemobrain left over from her breast cancer treatment, or frankly her mom died three years ago and Cokie has been off-kilter since then...

From the NPR ethics handbook:
Others at NPR whose work touches our journalism and programming or who have outward-facing jobs that put them in contact with the public should be familiar with these guidelines. The principles apply to material that comes to NPR from independent producers, member station journalists, outside writers, commentators and visual journalists.

More proof that there is no "getting along" with these delusional mental cases, no compromising with them.
They must be defeated because what's left of their minds are made up.

He’s the least qualified, yet David Cameron is leaving the EU, and Angela Merkel lost HUGE yesterday - both based on the same policies Trump is speaking about for the US.
She’s delusional.

It is deeply angering that we have to pay our own money (taxes to NPR) to fund our opposition! What a set-up!

To: Drango
the opinion column indicates Roberts has not been sufficiently identified to listeners as a commentator. Publicly funded anti-GOP speech. No wonder people are clamoring to pull taxpayer funding.

“..... the reputation of the United States would suffer a devastating blow around the world.”
AS opposed to the incalculable blow it's suffered since Obama has been president?”

We are in a time where we have the possibility of going backward instead of forward," Roberts said. It's YOUR party that has shut down progress. It's YOUR party that keeps blacks on the plantation. It's your party that believes government knows best to spend our money than we do.
GFY Cokie, you dried up old hag!
