I have watched most of the YouTube copies of the Election Night programming(PBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, BBC, Bloomberg)which is most enjoyable and informative. The Republican commentators are almost invariably more acid and negative on their comments on Trump, his campaign and his chances for election than their Demo operatives, some of whom, like Joe Trippi, are actually interesting and prescient. Instead, the “Republicans” are David Brooks (NYT resident “conservative”); Romney campaign manager Stuart Stevens; this Pile of Schmidt; Mike Murphy, who seems to lose almost every recent election and charges a fortune to do it; some woman named Natalie Wallace who worked for McCain and Bush and who is about as vicious a Trump hater as I’ve seen; Ana Navarro (held some minor position for Jeb); Karl Rove. While Rove moderated his comments, the others are in pig heaven at the beginning of the evening, looking forward to an electoral blowout for Clinton. They start to panic about 9:30 when they realize Florida ain’t going to her, then they are in stunned shock about 11 pm when it is evident Trump has won; when the final delayed projections of him as the winner come in at about 2:40 am, they are full of bile, vitriol and damnation. Anyone who ever hires any of this bunch as “consultants’ in a Republican race again should have their heads examined or pulled out of some body orifice.
The reason the “news” channels asked those Republicans to appear on election night was because they already knew they were anti-Trump. The “news” programs could double down on their Trump hatred, while pretending to be balanced.
By the way, if you want to see really, really biased election night coverage, make sure you watch the British ITV and the Canadian CBC coverage.
Schmidt was wrong about everything. Hours into the results, he stated it would come down to Michigan. Wrong again. Trump didn’t need Michigan. Michigan and Pennsylvania were just icing on the cake.
Stuart Stevens talked about ‘changing demographics’ the entire night. He was in so much pain.
At least David Brooks recognized early in the evening that Trump was doing much better than expected.
Don’t forget Krauthammer, who smugly told O’Reilly that Clinton was winning Florida and with it, the presidency.
Every one of the people you mentioned is an operative for the Cheap Labor Express. Their job has always been to prevent us from electing a President who would stop the illegal alien inundation.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!!!
