thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-21--Thursday Preview: Who Needs A ‘Debate Commission’ To Have A Debate?

Why give a commission working for the Democratic Party the power to set debate parameters and rules ?
President Trump should set the terms of where , when , and by whom it ’ s moderated .
As we speak , the Democrats are busy writing President Trump ’ s questions to give to the immoderate moderator .
Why do we keep debating “ moderators ” who live and work in the Washington DC-New York bubble and all attended various northeastern schools ?
The perspective from outside Washington , DC has lacked in these “ moderated ” debates for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seems to be to steer the agenda to discuss and protect DC interests .
There is much more to this nation than Washington DC and New York .
Why should New York and Washington continue to set and define the discussion parameters by providing “ moderators ?
” Especially for something as important as selecting the next President to represent the whole nation , not just New York and Washington DC , shouldn ’ t we have someone other than leftists from New York or Washington DC hosting the events ?
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an election of ideologies and not individuals and have decided whether or not you are for more government and socialism vs. less government and continued freedom , then this debate is not going to help you decide .
The President needs to do what they all do – ignore the actual question/topic and go off on a tangent of his own choosing .
Ronald Reagan was known to “ stay on message ” regardless of distractions , diversions , and interruptions .
He was also a master at doing it in good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in some of Reagan ’ s good cheer tactics , he will drive the left and moderators crazy .
After the Chinese fire drill of the first debate , this is a positive step forward .
I hope that the moderator doesn ’ t cut Trump off too soon and give Biden extra time during those opponent blackouts .
The most honest and telling debate , though , would be to let the two candidates ask each other questions instead of those predetermined questions they will get .
That would be a genuine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would enthusiastically welcome such a format , but Biden ( and the DNC ) would never agree to it .
I agree with Rush Limbaugh ’ s recent advice .
He said that the Democrats debate committee ’ s latest obscenities are attempts to provoke Trump into withdrawing from the debate .
I was originally hoping Trump would tell them to shove it .
I have changed my mind .
Beyond just trying to favor and protect Biden , they ’ re trying to shield him from even having to deny or admit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last time Biden is at least ostensibly forced into the public eye .
If Trump withdraws , they can all defame Trump while simultaneously allowing Biden to crawl back in his hole and put the “ lid ” on his remaining campaign .
The problem is that when you give a mute button to a partisan moderator , it becomes more about censoring ; the moderator does not like what the candidate is saying , so he/she mutes them .
The moderator likes what the candidate saying , so they allow more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has no credibility The debate commission has proven itself to lack any credibility and another tool of the Democratic Party .
Anyone else notice that in the vice presidential debate , the time allowed to answer was so far short of even offering an intelligent answer ?
The moderators have all proven to be biased and ask questions I don ’ t think many are concerned about .
I would like Biden and Harris to answer a lot more questions to answer .
But they are both hiding .
Do a debate like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel of four asking questions , so there is less bias .
The moderator does just that , moderates , and not be the person asking the questions .
When the debate is over Trump should also have a post-debate follow-up Q & A session , held at a venue very close to the debate ( maybe at an airport hangar ) where he can have real journalists ask real questions and give the nation real answers .
Biden will undoubtedly be whisked away immediately after the debate , not to be seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he rests up and is de-briefed on all his gaffes ) .

Why give a commission working for the Democratic Party the power to set debate parameters and rules? President Trump should set the terms of where, when, and by whom it’s moderated.
Or it’s off.
Why do we keep debating “moderators” who live and work in the Washington DC-New York bubble and all attended various Northeastern schools?
The perspective from outside Washington, DC has lacked in these “moderated” debates for a long time.
The moderators’ purpose seems to be to steer the agenda to discuss and protect DC interests.
There is much more to this nation than Washington DC and New York. W
hy should New York and Washington continue to set and define the discussion parameters by providing “moderators?”

This debate is meaningless.

Follow Reagan’s Template
The President needs to do what they all do – ignore the actual question/topic and go off on a tangent of his own choosing.
Ronald Reagan was known to “stay on message” regardless of distractions, diversions, and interruptions. He was also a master at doing it in good cheer.
If President Trump can work in some of Reagan’s good cheer tactics, he will drive the left and moderators crazy.
“We win, they lose.”
Rush Limbaugh’s Sound Advice
The most honest and telling debate, though, would be to let the two candidates ask each other questions instead of those predetermined questions they will get.
That would be a genuine and revealing debate.
I think Trump would enthusiastically welcome such a format, but Biden (and the DNC) would never agree to it.
I agree with Rush Limbaugh’s recent advice. He said that the Democrats debate committee’s latest obscenities are attempts to provoke Trump into withdrawing from the debate.
I was originally hoping Trump would tell them to shove it. I have changed my mind.
More importantly will they also mute the biased moderator when the President is speaking? And will she agree to life in prison and forfeiture of her net worth if it is later proven she gave the questions ahead of time to Biden?

If Trump withdraws, they can all defame Trump while simultaneously allowing Biden to crawl back in his hole and put the “lid” on his remaining campaign.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-21--The Media Knows Biden Is On Track To Lose This Election, Hence Their Ridiculous Narrative

I was sitting here thinking recently about how the media has to know that their candidate , former Vice President Joe Biden , is on track to lose in a couple of weeks .
As you have seen for the last three years or so , the media ’ s go-to reaction is to throw a tantrum to fuel their spite and hatred for President Trump .
Democrats on all levels are very childish at heart .
It ’ s like a younger sibling being insanely jealous of the other ’ s success and trashing his or her bedroom for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eight months of violence are preparing to burn , loot , murder , and turn our country upside down .
With law enforcement in most larger cities having been neutered , the citizens of those cities will be subjected to terrorism , the likes of which we have not seen yet in America .
Bernies Bros promised to burn down America if “ Burnie ” didn ’ t get the Democrat nomination !
Antifa and Black Lives Matter took the call to arms !
The same will happen after the election ; however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could be met with REAL insurrection force to stop them .
There is no denying how the Dems have failed miserably to comply with any of our founding principles , and so are in sedition and rebellion to this duly elected government of these United States .
Nothing has changed since Trump surprised the Washington and media elite in 2016 , and the same lousy propaganda that passes as polling is still being dumped on the American people today .
Again no difference from then ; since the DNC has become so docile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violated the first rule of propaganda , do not believe your own propaganda as they are all lies .
Today , just as they are – to a man and woman – believing the polls delivered to their clients , are the American people served by this ?
Not in the slightest .
Either way , the problem is the DNC , who , because of their vanity , have chosen to set the nation ablaze in violence and rebellion and need to be leveled if we are ever to have peace again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election again This is exactly what I suspect is going on .
They will insist they have won , regardless of how much they lose by , and then set their Brown Shirts ( Antifa black-clad storm troopers and BLM members in this case ) loose on the country , to loot , burn , kill and destroy !
The new face of the Democratic Party .
I talked to a friend of mine 30 miles out of New York yesterday and she is very concerned about chaos .
She could hardly understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have totally turned on her for being a Trump supporter .
She was happy to find another Trump supporter on the opposite coast .
We had lost touch with each other over the years with many moves on both sides .
So I guess Facebook is good for something .
An end to this insanity ?
I hope that there will be a swift end to the violence and lots of arrests .
I think that everyone is expecting lots of both once the election ends and Trump has won .
Trump can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rioters until after the election—it will possibly affect the results , or at least everyone will think it will .
The socialist Democrats see the writing on the wall , and they are getting ready when Mr. Trump gets both the popular vote and the electoral colleges – by a landslide .

Janice Dean Demands Cuomo Be Held Accountable For COVID Deaths As NY Governor Blames ‘Super-Spreader’ Trump

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean is demanding accountability for coronavirus deaths in New York from Andrew Cuomo , even as the governor blames President Trump .
Cuomo , in a conference call with reporters , said he holds the President responsible “ for every death in New York state from COVID.
” The governor mocked Trump as “ patient zero ” and the top “ super-spreader ” of the virus .
“ I hold Donald Trump responsible for every death in New York state from Covid , because Trump lied , ” Cuomo accused .
“ New York state had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europe and not China , and they never did a European travel ban because he was lying to the American people , ” the Democrat claimed .
“ He is the super-spreader that brought the virus to America.
” Cuomo ’ s comments are incredibly rich .
In one breath he calls President Trump a liar , and in another , he flat-out lies .
“ It was his lie that said this was nothing to worry about , this was a hoax , ” the governor claimed .
Politifact rates this claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as false .
“ This often-repeated statement falsely attributed to President Donald Trump has its roots in a Feb. 28 rally in South Carolina , ” they write .
“ But it ’ s a mischaracterization of what he actually said , which was an attack on Democrats ’ response to the virus.
” Pretending President Trump didn ’ t attempt to stop the spread of the virus is misleading as well .
Mount Sinai , who explains China is “ where the virus originated , ” points to administration efforts to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures , ” they write , the first COVID cases in New York came “ from primarily European and United States sources.
” “ His revisionist history can not erase his grossly incompetent decisions or the fact that President Trump took bold , aggressive actions that saved lives in New York and every state across the country , ” she asserted .
But his remarks are particularly audacious considering the governor is currently embroiled in a scandal in which he issued an executive order forcing nursing homes to take on patients that had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prohibited facilities from requiring incoming patients “ to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission , ” and may have contributed to well over 6,600 deaths in New York .
Cuomo ’ s tactic in responding to the scandal has been to deny it ever happened .
“ It just never happened in New York , where we needed to say to a nursing home , ‘ We need you to take this person even though they ’ re COVID positive , ' ” he said .
“ It never happened.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ directive ordering COVID-positive patients to be taken into nursing homes .
Janice Dean , whose husband ’ s parents were both victims of COVID-19 , and in whom nursing homes played a part , has held Cuomo responsible .
“ He will not take any accountability , ” she said at a recent rally in Brooklyn .
“ And he blames everybody else except the man that signed that executive order.
” When asked who is to blame , Dean has some very clear thoughts .
“ This should be one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 , ” she suggested .
“ Twenty percent of our lost loved ones are from nursing homes , ” continued Dean .
“ And , it ’ s because Governor Cuomo , and several other Governors , by the way , in different states , forced COVID-recovering patients into nursing homes.
” Dean has demanded an “ independent bipartisan investigation with subpoena power ” and ripped Cuomo for going on a book tour celebrating his response to the pandemic .
“ The fact that he is going on every single program and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nursing homes makes our grief worse , ” Dean said .
“ I am not here because of where I work or who I voted for , ” she continued .
“ I am here to support all of these wonderful people that are now part of my family because we need answers as to what happened and why it happened.
” In August , the Department of Justice announced that they had requested information from New York regarding pandemic-related orders that might have led to the deaths of thousands of seniors in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political .
It ’ s about accountability , ” Dean explained .

“It was his lie that said this was nothing to worry about, this was a hoax,” the governor claimed.
Politifact rates this claim, repeated time and again by Democrats, as false.
“This often-repeated statement falsely attributed to President Donald Trump has its roots in a Feb. 28 rally in South Carolina,” they write.
“But it’s a mischaracterization of what he actually said, which was an attack on Democrats’ response to the virus.”
Why are you lying? Fact check yourself RT @PolitiFact: At last night’s vice presidential debate, Kamala Harris repeated a False claim that President Trump called the coronavirus “a hoax.” https://t.co/ReltyM5id2 pic.twitter.com/aLyXDrCGMN — TheCause&TheCure (@Tiffy_Tiff87) October 8, 2020
Pretending President Trump didn’t attempt to stop the spread of the virus is misleading as well.
Mount Sinai, who explains China is “where the virus originated,” points to administration efforts to stop the spread.
“The government instituted targeted screening of suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and a series of successive nation-wide travel restrictions to curtail SARS-CoV-2 introductions into the US from outbreak hotspots in China, Iran, and later mainland European countries to the continental United States.”
“Despite these measures,” they write, the first COVID cases in New York came “from primarily European and United States sources.”

Janice Dean, White House Hammer Cuomo and Demand Accountability
White House spokeswoman Sarah Matthews slammed Cuomo for his comments.
“His revisionist history cannot erase his grossly incompetent decisions or the fact that President Trump took bold, aggressive actions that saved lives in New York and every state across the country,” she asserted.
But his remarks are particularly audacious considering the governor is currently embroiled in a scandal in which he issued an executive order forcing nursing homes to take on patients that had tested positive for coronavirus.
The order prohibited facilities from requiring incoming patients “to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission,” and may have contributed to well over 6,600 deaths in New York.
The CDC unfortunately made it optional for nursing homes to report COVID deaths in March, April and early May, when NY’s pandemic was at its worst. But some homes did the right thing — and often gave numbers strikingly higher than reported by NYS DOH. https://t.co/6WSYZno25L pic.twitter.com/zIQOPExDLH — Bill Hammond (@NYHammond) September 8, 2020
Cuomo’s tactic in responding to the scandal has been to deny it ever happened.
“It just never happened in New York, where we needed to say to a nursing home, ‘We need you to take this person even though they’re COVID positive,'” he said. “It never happened.”
He even denied there was a directive ordering COVID-positive patients to be taken into nursing homes.
Janice Dean, whose husband’s parents were both victims of COVID-19, and in whom nursing homes played a part, has held Cuomo responsible.
“He will not take any accountability,” she said at a recent rally in Brooklyn.
“And he blames everybody else except the man that signed that executive order.”
When asked who is to blame, Dean has some very clear thoughts.
“This should be one of the biggest stories of this pandemic, of 2020,” she suggested.
“Twenty percent of our lost loved ones are from nursing homes,” continued Dean.
“And, it’s because Governor Cuomo, and several other Governors, by the way, in different states, forced COVID-recovering patients into nursing homes.”
Grateful to be able to speak in Brooklyn with other grieving families that want an apology and answers from @NYGovCuomo about his tragic nursing home order. We also want and independent bipartisan investigation with subpoena power. We’re not going away. pic.twitter.com/rdBwnAxfdY — Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) October 20, 2020
Dean has demanded an “independent bipartisan investigation with subpoena power” and ripped Cuomo for going on a book tour celebrating his response to the pandemic.
“The fact that he is going on every single program and barely gets asked the question about the nursing homes makes our grief worse,” Dean said.
“I am not here because of where I work or who I voted for,” she continued. “I am here to support all of these wonderful people that are now part of my family because we need answers as to what happened and why it happened.”
That said, I won’t stop fighting and thank you ALL for saying you’ve got my back. Your comments are bringing tears to my eyes. pic.twitter.com/LUu1ePOWSS — Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) October 19, 2020
In August, the Department of Justice announced that they had requested information from New York regarding pandemic-related orders that might have led to the deaths of thousands of seniors in nursing homes.
“This is not political. It’s about accountability,” Dean explained.

Why, in the days before an election fraught with political squabbling over Russia and computer hacking, would the Justice Department weigh in on Monday with indictments of six Russian state hackers?
The hackers in question are officers in the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate. They are not, we can all agree, friends of America.
But the threat they pose is hardly new: One of the GRU officers freshly indicted – Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev — has already been under indictment for years. He was charged along with a couple of dozen of his colleagues two years ago.
Adding a new set of indictments doesn’t bring the Russians closer to justice in a U.S. court, but it does color an election already tinted and tainted by the question of Russian hacking.
RELATED: DNI John Ratcliffe Says ‘Hunter Biden’s Laptop Is Not Part Of Some Russian Disinformation Campaign’
The explanations that couldn’t possibly be correct actually illuminate the issue, so let’s start with those:
The Russians had to be exposed at this late date in the presidential election because otherwise they would flee and escape the law.
This couldn’t possibly be the reason. Consider the Russians’ confreres, indicted as part of the Mueller festivities. There is no reason to think any of them have left Russia or otherwise put themselves at any risk of extradition.
If the goal is to capture these bad actors, announcing who they are and what they’ve done will be of no help whatsoever.
The Russians posed an imminent threat.
Not likely. There’s nothing in the indictment that even hints at a crime in progress.
The Russians, for example, are accused of hacking computers at the Winter Olympics in South Korea (2018); defacing Georgian government websites (2018); spear phishing a British defense lab that was gathering evidence of Russia’s use of poisons (2018).
They allegedly interfered with French elections in 2017. They supposedly targeted Ukraine’s power grid in 2016 and 2015.
None of these deeds happened within the last two years. That doesn’t mean they ought to be ignored.
But it does argue there was no reason to take action in the weeks ahead of a national election.
RELATED: Biden Says Accusations Against Hunter Just ‘Desperate Campaign To Smear Me And My Family’
Now let’s consider some answers that could be correct, if one is willing to entertain cynical possibilities:
The recommended response to the New York Post’s scoop involving Hunter Biden’s laptop has been to dismiss it as the product of Russian hackery.
The story involves a computer and events in Ukraine, thus making it easy for Joe Biden’s defenders to dismiss the damaging emails as made in Moscow.
Bring indictments against Russian hackers and you bolster the narrative that to ask questions about Hunter is to be complicit in a Russian plot.
Perhaps the FBI and Justice Department are just doing Big Tech a solid.
The bureau — and this goes triple for the DoJ — lacks the kind of computer skills necessary to track and trace the tiny binary footprints of the cyber-Bear.
You might recall that just a few weeks ago it was revealed a large number of the attorneys and agents working on the Mueller investigation accidentally wiped their government-issued smartphones clean of all data.

Every man Jack of them kept putting in the wrong password until, hours into the process, all their phones achieved doorstop status. Who knew such things could happen?
We will take their word for it that they didn’t. But that doesn’t say much for the computer bona-fides of DoJ investigators.
How surpassingly odd, then, that fellow prosecutors and agents should be so tech-savvy that they can expose the identities and activities of the neo-Soviets’ crack malware squad.
That’s where Big Tech comes in: In a Monday press release, the Department of Justice expressed its gratitude to Google, Cisco, Facebook, and Twitter “for the assistance they provided in this investigation.”
Could it be that the indictments were announced now because Facebook and Twitter needed some good press before facing senators on the ugly question of digital censorship?

Whatever the reason – and who knows, perhaps there is a perfectly innocent explanation for it – the Department of Justice ought not to be hyping Russian hacking just ahead of an election.

Robert Cahaly , a chief pollster for the Trafalgar Group , believes there is a “ hidden vote ” missing from most polls and envisions a victory for President Trump .
Cahaly made the prediction during an interview with Fox News personality Sean Hannity .
“ I see the president winning with a minimum high 270s and possibly going up significantly higher based on just how big this undercurrent is , ” he said .
President Trump or Joe Biden would need 270 electoral votes to win the White House .
“ What we ’ ve noticed is that these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote , ” he continued .
“ There is a clear feeling among conservatives and people that are for the president that they ’ re not interested in sharing their opinions readily.
” “ These people are more hesitant to participate in polls , ” Cahaly added .

President Trump has long referenced the ‘hidden vote,’ calling those voters the “silent majority.”
