“Well, I don’t know, was there a birth certificate? You tell me. You know some people say that was not his birth certificate. So maybe it was; maybe it wasn’t.” — Donald Trump, in an interview on ABC News, continuing to suggest President Obama was not born in the United States, even though both the long and short form of the official birth certificate have been released by the President and the State of Hawaii. You know, if I were a Republican, I would be quite upset that my party was represented yesterdy on the Sunday morning shows by the blowhard Trump, the racist Steven King, and the insane Louie Golhmert.
“Republicans are increasingly concerned about Georgia’s Senate race, where a crowded primary threatens to produce a flawed candidate who could put at risk a seat in a Republican-leaning state,” The Hill reports.
“Recent polling shows the two candidates Republicans are most anxious about — Reps. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) and Paul Broun (R-GA) — leading the pack. Whoever emerges from the clown-car primary, with seven candidates and counting, will face a candidate Democrats are high on in a state where shifting demographics benefit their party.”
Indeed, once again, as in 2010 and 2012, Republican primary fights are poised to deny the GOP their goal: control of the Senate. Right now, the odds favor the Democrats winning both the Georgia and Kentucky races and thus keeping control.
So last week that little worm Reince Priebus, the Chairman of the RNC, told CNN and NBC that unless they stopped production on a Hillary Clinton news documentary and a Hillary Clinton miniseries, respectively, that both news organizations would not host or air any Republican debates in 2016. The truth is Reince doesn’t care at all about the documentary or the miniseries, and he just wants to cut the non-Republican-fellating networks out of conducting debates, because, as he said last week, he wants moderators who care about the glorious future of the dear Republican Party, and not some objective neutral journalist who sole interest is the facts and the news. So the Hillary Clinton documentary and miniseries, respectively, were the reasons to cut out CNN and NBC from hosting or airing the 2016 Republican Primary debates.
Over the weekend, something totally predictable happened: Fox Television Studies is now seeking to produce the Hillary Clinton miniseries. Fox Television Studios is the sister company of Fox News in the same way as NBC Entertainment is the sister company of NBC News. If Reince Priebus has any honor or integrity, he will now of course issue a press statement where he wholly condemns Fox News and informs them that Fox News will not host or air any 2016 Republican primary debates.
Hell, no debates is probably what he wants anyway.
