Wow, I'm shocked (Really!, this time)
The following is from FOX, which is in sharp contrast to most of the tripe their talking heads are spouting, about how Hillary made a fool of herself, and how Dems are on the wrong side of EVERYTHING. I'm amazed this piece made it past their editors.
There are a lot of ways to contrast the Democratic debate with the Republican debates, but one thing I believe would get agreement across the spectrum – voters Red States and Blue States, liberals and conservatives: Democrats avoided personal attacks and insults and debated the issues; Republicans have spent much more time during their debates attacking each other, with the vitriol and bile of Donald Trump leading the race to the bottom.
Tuesday night, we saw Democrats debating such issues as what to do about creating jobs, reducing income disparity, dealing with global warming, trade agreements that don’t protect U.S. workers sufficiently, immigration reform that offers a pathway to citizenship for undocumented workers, student debt and affordable higher education and, perhaps most vigorously of all due to its immediate relevance in light of more gun violence, gun control and the need to stand up to the NRA, which continues to oppose even Brady-bill type of background checks.
There are differences of opinion among Democrats on many of these issues, but the differences are relatively minor compared to what we know are the positions of Republicans on many of these issues – that is, to the extent we know given the frequency of personal attacks vs. serious discussions of solutions to America’s most pressing problems.
In short, while I believe, along with (apparently) most of the media, Hillary Clinton did the best during the evening, I actually believe who “won” the debate is far less important at this early stage than the fact that the real winner was the Democratic Party – in contrast to the Republican Party, whose brand has been further soiled by vitriol and personal attack politics that has alienated so many Americans of all political stripes.
WOW, this is from FOX! Unbelievable.... Somebody screwed up, big time, by publishing the truth, for a change, instead of focusing on BENGHAZI!, and a private server that no one (but FOX and the sheep) cares about. But, if that's all ya got, ya gotta 'run with it', no matter how stupid it makes you look, after the legacy of the last Repub administration, which was unmitigated disaster.
