Trump raised this issue in the Debate. The question gives her the opportunity to slap it down.

What would you consider an acceptable question to ask?

You never see her or her ilk asking OrangeAnus or pence if they are facists/racist. Don't do it on one side and not the FUCKING other.

I left that channel on when I drifted off to sleep last night and woke up to their morning show to hearing how misunderstood the Trump administration is and how 45 actually has a good chance of winning this election. They just kept interviewing pro-Trump people. I had to shut it off.

selling working class needs help and this is how her liberal self can do it. I do not think these are questions to snark at, but give them aqn answer. Democrats are looking to take care of the people and we the people really need our govt to step in.

Biden said it was higher under Trump, then she says, after the interview, so Biden had no chance to argue his point, "Depends on how you calculate it." And she proceeds to compare 2019 favorably to the last three years of the Obama administration. She neither (a) explains how she is calculating it differently than Biden was or (b) includes the two previous years under Trump. She deliberately compared apples to oranges to skew the reporting. She is dishonest.

O'Donnell's questions reflected the framing her corporate masters expect. She casts Medicare For All, the Green New Deal, AOC, Bernie and progressivism in general in a vaguely negative tone and then asks candidates how far they will go in associating with those ideas and people...she loads the questions for sure. Same as it ever was.
