Show of hands: Who thinks CNN is protecting the 2020 Democrats?

Patriot Retort:

One of the most damaging moments from the first round of Democrat debates was when the moderators asked for a show of hands on a few positions.

Like the “Show of hands:  Will your healthcare plan cover illegal aliens?”

Or “Show of hands: Will your Medicare for All plan abolish private health insurance?”

For voters, the show of hands questions were extremely enlightening (operative word here: extreme). It allowed voters to see, in one fell swoop, just where these candidates stood on some pretty unpopular issues.

And, see. That right there is the problem.

But don’t worry, folks! CNN is on the case!

  2. My youngest son was dumbfounded when I told him about those hand raising episodes. He has always been a bit liberal but now that he is growing up and making decent money and working his tail off, he is sick of seeing the deadbeats out there just getting by and waiting for Santa Claus to show up. He’s had a few weeks of having a $900.00 tax bite (lots of overtime) and that has really opened his eyes. Now if I only had more influence over him than his girlfriend has and I’ll be making progress.

  3. Also, I read somewhere that speaking out of turn repeatedly will be penalized with fewer air time for future questions. Is this a debate or a well-scripted ummmph! up the voter’s asses for whomever is the latest newsies fav?

    Plus there is probably a lefty complaint that it’s really not fair because Bill DeBlasio can raise his hand over a full foot above Beto’s and Buttigieg’s hands.

  4. I’m waiting for the first armless/handless Democrat to enter the race. He or she will pick up the moderates. This show of hands chicanery is no match for the handless. No tripping up that person with such a cheap stunt.

  5. @PHenry ~ don’t worry … the handless D’rat will clench the microphone firmly in it’s teeth & raise it into a position above it’s head

    … either that, or it will have a big foam ‘we’re # 1’ finger waggling around in it’s mouth
