Hillary Clinton Wrecks The Fox News Debate By Revealing The Truth About The GOP Candidates

....The Clinton campaign pointed out that the Republican Party has a net (-16) approval rating, and that the party’s unfavorable rating is twelve points higher (50%) than its favorability rating (38%). Donald Trump is tied with establishment favorite Jeb Bush with a 26% favorability rating, and Trump is ahead of Scott Walker and Marco Rubio, who are both at less than 30%. What is driving their negative ratings are unpopular positions on the economy, women’s health, immigration, and LGBT Americans.

The Republican candidates are all the same on these issues. Ten of them will step on to the stage tomorrow night in Cleveland, and they will hold the same positions as their opponents. The Republican Party continues to believe that the problem is the messenger when the real issue continues to be the message.

Republicans will try to out-conservative each other, but the reality is that Donald Trump is not the extreme of the Republican Party. He is the baseline. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Marco Rubio won’t admit it, but they have a great deal in common with Trump, and it is the commonality of agenda that will sink the Republican Party in 2016.

2. Only 30%? I thought when it became clear Fox is a propaganda tool of the GOP

that some of the GOP would acknowledge this by saying this is too much and leave the party.

But they havent done that, if anything they have said they are proud to be owned by Fox because as we all know, everything else is liberal.

Glad that John Stewart hasn't left us yet.
He is brilliant in condensing the insanity down to digestible bites.

tomorrow is Jon's last show and I'm sure it's taped earlier in the day, so I doubt he will discuss the outcome of the debates. I wish. He planned his last date a long time ago, before the debates were scheduled. It would be great if he was on for another week. Although, I think the grind of another election is one reason he decided to leave. Sure will miss him. Trevor Noah is great (watch him on YouTube) so I hope people give him a fair chance.

Maybe we'll DVR Larry Wilmore and see what he has to say. Otherwise it's off to MSNBC, which I'll probably tune into anyway.

I read earlier today that Chuck Toad --err-- Todd calls this the strongest Republican field since 1980. How could such a fine group of intelligent, thoughtful people have such unfavorable ratings??? I mean, the state economies of Walker, Christie, Kasich, and Jindal are all lagging behind the rest of the country. And who could not love the Donald or the Jeb!
