2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Today's NY Daily News front page is something I never thought I'd see in a presidential election [View all]Tanuki
(14,918 posts)18. I saw that, too. Joy was absoutely correct to challenge
Bachmann, based on her previous claim that God had "raised Trump up". Tweety acted as if Joy was making some kind of cheap shot, dragging Bachmann's religion into the discussion, when it was Bachmann herself who had made the appalling and blasphemous claim that Trump was God's chosen candidate. Bachmann was absolutely hypocritical, defending Trump as engaging in harmless "bad boy talk." At least Tweety challenged her on her claim that the story was planted by Hillary's opposition research, and when cornered she lied and denied having said it (which she had, only a couple of minutes before). I wish MSNBC would give Joy Tweety's nightly time slot.

Melania was 3 months pregnant. Advanced enough for Donald J tRump to know.

OK, you need me to break it down for you. It's got nothing to do with videotaping a birth.

The media is comparing it to 'other gaffs' that affected the chances of candidates. Sorry but this
