“Yesterday shows why Republicans need to go into hostile territory every once in a while, it makes them much better debaters, Tucker Carlson is mild compared to what the MSM will do to them, if they can’t calmly and forcefully defend their positions they have no business running for president, Pence is the perfect example, just a couple of tough questions and he’s toast, you can’t win a national election by staying in your comfort zone”
I have the complete opposite point of view. Pence and all of the other candidates are perfectly fine with MSM interviewers and moderators. They’re comfortable in that environment. What they’re not fine with, is conservative moderators. Tucker Carlson exposed these candidates by asking questions from a right-wing perspective and they weren’t used to that line of questioning.
This is why we need right-wing moderators.
Very few Republicans go on, The View or Morning Joe, or CNN for that matter, they are happy going on Fox News and get lobbed softball questions, Tucker asks a couple of tough questions and Pence was not prepared to answer them.
Right Wing Moderators that ask really tough questions or Liberals who do the same, it makes no difference to me, the tough questions are what I’m talking about.
The Ukraine War is a perfect example, if you support the war and are running for POTUS you should have no problem selling that to the American People, Pence could not do that, he wants to go on shows that have the same view as him, that is not a winning formula to me.
