Don't Let Those Staged "Debates"' Fool You-- It Was Another Rethuglican Diversion [picture]

The “Debate” just showed that these candidates were moe ready to be on stage thanin the oval Office,  What   was it but a Trump domnated theatrical event?  An over-crowded event, at that.   Muckracker 

onald Trump, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, and Ted Cruz are part of the establishment. Donald Trump is an owner of the establishment. Carly Fiorina was a top employee of the establishment and is not campaigning against the establishment. Ted Cruz worked on George W. Bush’s campaign, even helping to put together the legal team that helped defend the theft of Florida. Cruz also has an establishment economic agenda. Ben Carson is the only one who has a case to make that he is an outsider, but he too is a champion for the establishment.

The mainstream media constantly calling these four anti-establishment candidates either shows how out of touch they are or reveals their agenda to mislead the American public.

Let’s get real: the establishment loved the focus of this debate. Social issues, Planned Parenthood, Donald Trump, gay marriage, Carly Fiorina, ISIS, Iran, Iraq, Syria, immigration, vaccines, taxes, and more Trump. In three hours there were a few minutes of discussion on the minimum wage, and that was it for the economy. Barely a word on economic inequality, student debt, racism, criminal justice, the environment, jobs, or health care.

I’ll let the talking heads tell you who won the debate, but the American people lost the debate. I will say Carly Fiorina landed a solid blow to Trump, but who knows what the Republican voters will think. In the Junior Varsity debate, Bobby Jindal sounded an anti-Washington message, but he has an establishment agenda. The next time someone says the anti-establishment candidates are winning on the Republican side, ask them what anti-establishment policies they have proposed. Expect to hear crickets after you ask that.

The real anti-establishment candidate gave up two and a half hours into the debate when he decided that he had seen enough. “The evening was really pretty sad. This country and our planet face enormous problems. And the Republican candidates barely touched upon them tonight. And when they did, they were dead wrong on virtually every position they took. The Republican Party cannot be allowed to lead this country. That’s why we need a political revolution.”source
