30. Pundit coddling of Biden is a massive outrage

Mon Sep 16, 2019, 08:45 AM

Sep 2019

He fell apart in that debate and most of the talking heads couldn’t find a microphone quick enough to sing his praises. That pissed a lot of smart, highly engaged people off who feel as if a stale, subpar choice is being rammed down their throats. Biden’s Iraq answer was almost as bad as his legacy of slavery response but you wouldn’t know it from the teevee. So hooray for Twitter; it was good to see some balance restored to the discussion over the weekend.

I don’t give a shit about Corn Pop but it was mind numbing to see one of the worst performers on that stage graded on a curve just because he is the front runner. Nothing is being made up about that.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
