Republicans Take Ball, Go Home

In a not very surprising move, the GOP has suspended its relationship with NBC due to the poor questioning at last Wednesday night's debate. In short, they are taking their ball and going home.

Although, home ain't what it used to be. Similar complaints were aired about Megyn Kelly and Fox News after the first debate. CNN also received a a laundry list of beefs. Essentially, if it's not Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin, Republicans don't have the balls to face anyone who is even remotely contrary to them.

Once again, we see The Adolescent in full play. Whining about fairness...blaming others (the media, liberals) for their problems...tantrums...shutting out reality. They don't want any sort of pesky facts like...oh, the fact that the USA ranks #1 in the world in terms of economic competitiveness...getting out there.

Perhaps they should have a debate exclusively run by conservative media. I think the United States should get unfettered access to life inside the bubble.

I don't have much else to say about the debate. No one really "won" or "lost" in my opinion. All I heard was the same wacky, ideological nonsense combined with fevered predictions of doom and gloom. The media is saying Rubio, Cruz and Christie won and Bush lost. Who really cares?

Oh puhleez. Why should Republicans have most of their debates moderated by hostile, even openly hostile, people? Especially after the appallingly childish performance by the CNBC crew. One that Terry McAuliffe of all people thought was heavily biased and wrong. After that, only a lunatic would think they'll get a fair shake from the usual suspects. They've finally wised up after how many years? Even the Stupid Party is capable of learning, though I note the RNC probably wasn't going to do anything until the candidates themselves decided the RNC has its head up its ass when it comes to the media.

How many Democratic Party have been or will be hosted by Fox News? Uh huh. That's what I thought. Since I'm so sure they'll be toughly questioned by MSNBC, Move On, PBS, and Univision. Snort. It is to laugh.

Because that's who they are going to have to deal with if they become president. Are you saying they aren't up to that task?
