MSNBC Dem debate moderators pushed impeachment and hard left policies

Thomas Lifson  "The Democrats might want to rethink their choice of presidential debate sponsors.  Last night's debate on MSNBC featured moderators pushing far-left issues that may please the base but drive away the centrist voters who hold the balance of power.

"Rachel Maddow, the cable channel's biggest star, repeatedly brought up impeachment, an issue that has little appeal beyond the fever swamps, one that the candidates have not been enthusiastic about pushing." . . .

. . .
"The Democrats shamefully refused the offer of Fox News to host a presidential debate, apparently on the theory that probing questions from a network they identify as conservative would cause them discomfort.  But in terms of impact on the voters in November, an ability to speak to issues beyond those obsessing the far left would be far more helpful to them than the leftist goading coming from MSNBC anchors."
