It’s not exactly news but the only thing to be gleaned from last night’s “debate” is that Big Media has decided to throw in with Kamala. And she did not disappoint. Her handlers sent her in well groomed in every sense of the word armed with smug self-righteous clips and quotable sound bites.
So there is a consensus today among “non-partisan journalists” that the angry woman of color and friend-of-Barack was the clear winner last night.
Grooming the New Guard of Fairy Tales
And we all know how important consensus, especially among journalists, is to a presidential campaign.
Sadly for Joey B, he was last night’s big loser, confirming people’s belief that the story run by ABC last week about the shady dealings he and his son Hunter entered into with the Ukraine and China was a sign that Big Media had already decided to deep six Joe. That they did so in favor of a woman who is decidedly sexier than the old dog was just rubbing salt into the wound. Finding a candidate as attractive and malleable as their legendary Obama is truly a dream come true for the J-Team. To paraphrase Joey B himself, "I mean, you got the first mainstream woman of color who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking gal. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Ouch, talk about being hoisted by your own petard.
Aside from that the only item of note from last night is how easy it is these days to move the political left even further left. When asked by a moderator for a show of hands of who would provide universal healthcare for illegal aliens, Every. Single. One. of them raised their hand.
The word “lemming” comes to mind
I’m so old that I remember when Barack Obama told the country that Obamacare would NEVER cover illegals.
President Obama, Sept. 9, 2009: There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This too, is false. The reforms -- the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.
Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C.: You lie!
Obama: That's not true.
But as it turns out it was. And all 10 candidates last night confirmed it to be true. As Tucker Carlson pointed out last month:
The Democratic Party has abandoned any pretense that America exists to benefit Americans. They tell us our country is innately evil, that it was conceived in racism for the purpose of oppression, that we are a sinful nation. And to redeem ourselves, we must sacrifice for the world's poor, among many, many, many other things. This means paying the health care bills of foreign nationals who have no right to be here in the first place.
To a man (generically speaking) the Democrats have declared that no matter who their candidate is their platform can be summarized thusly: “We have to destroy America in order to save her.” If we were dealing with even marginally rational people the 2020 election wouldn’t be much of a contest.
Oh, and nobody spoke Spanish last night. So there’s that.
