The child tax credit and leave it at that?

He doesn't know what end is up anymore.

Respectfully, most intelligent people figured that out in 2016 at the latest, madam.

that he wouldn’t be able to answer it. I know zero about her, but on the surface surely looked like it was planned to reveal him (no softball question, for him anyway) and to use as a talking point about his unfitness.

Yes, a zillion talking points are available, but this was her moment.

He never came close to actually answering her question. “Child care is important” isn’t an answer.

Apologies for using full voice.

She has run for public office as a Democrat. Lawrence O’Donnell and Keith Olbermann painted those in the Economic Club with a broad brush as privileged and none too bright. Ms. Saujani may well be privileged, but she is quite bright. She certainly is well-educated and engaged. Whether or not she comes from a privileged background, she has earned her position. As soon as I read that she was the questioner, I realized that’s why the question was so well-composed. Don’t mistake her for anyone’s fool.

But I will admit, except for a few RW "media" stations, I'm seeing the MSM starting to seriously question his fitness to serve as CiC.

None of these idiots realize that the destruction of the middle class that began under Reagan means that both parents now have to go out and work. That news just hasn't penetrated thir cement skulls and probably never will, they're all stuck in the `1950s, which they consider Utopia because "Leave it to Beaver" was a documentary.
