To Be Coarse, But Compelling . . . " Look, Donald Trump is only saying what millions are thinking, or have already said at the local sports bar, American Legion Hall, the supermarket checkout line, little league game, Jiffy Lube waiting room, or hockey practice, without the benefit of a billionaire’s platform. But as Richard Nixon might reprise, “You don’t have to elect him president.” . . .
Did Donald Trump win Round One with Megyn Kelly?
We explored her success — and anti-Fox News Media Matters’ frustration — in Megyn Kelly’s success must be driving Media Matters crazy-er.A Letter to Donald Trump Supporters With One Big Question "You’re right to mistrust conventional politicians. But why do you think he’ll treat you any better?"
Kelly had some uncomfortable on-air back and forth with Donald Trump during the first debate, particularly on the issue of how Trump treats women:
. . . " Trump is a good negotiator, you say, and he’ll get us a better deal with the Chinese. What makes you think that President Trump would be thinking about your interests while he negotiates with the Chinese, and not his own? Are your interests the same as a billionaire with vast real estate holdings in blue states? Trump has made clear that his negotiating prowess relies heavily on leverage: the billions he has, the politicians he has bought, his mastery of U.S. bankruptcy laws, his high-priced lawyers. But foreign leaders aren’t intimidated by his billions; his lawyers can’t sue them into submission; he doesn’t have any Chinese politicians in his pocket; and in negotiations with the Chinese, he’ll have no more and no less leverage than any other American president. And because he is a former realty TV star and beauty pageant owner, one would assume that some foreign leaders won’t even take him seriously. How will that result in a strong America?" . . .
