25. Yeah. It is.
Maybe the coverage up to this point hasn't hit me as "wrong" because they've been harder on Hillary than my guy. Ofcourse we notice it more when our candidate is the subject of attacks. I'm more than willing to admit when I'm wrong and I think I've been wrong about this.

What we gossip about here in GDP tends to be minutia because we are talking about this stuff 24/7. We disect EVERYTHING and analyze every move Barack and Hillary make. And we freely do so in part because in the end, we're all on the same team here. The things I say in GDP aren't the things I say to my conservative parents or undecided voters. GDP is an outlet for our frustrations, but I don't think it reflects what the American public really wants to talk about.

The general public relies on M$M coverage of debates, speeches, etc. to learn about the candidates and, largely, debates in the past have focused on the ISSUES. Last night was outrageously focused on petty stuff that the average joe who just lost his job and is struggling to make ends meet DOES NOT CARE ABOUT.

Asking him an extended question about why he doesn't wear a FLAG PIN? That's NAZI-ish!

They asked Hillary about snipergate for the MILLIONTH time.

I feel they both were sabotaged in this debate right from the start. When you start off talking about GARBAGE, it's not a good sign.

The point is that every democrat should be pissed off about this debate. We got cheated out of our candidates discussing the real issues and have been mired down by the MINUTIA that Gibson and Snuffy are obsessed with. This was a right-wing hit job and everyone knows it. I'm glad to see they are getting called out.
