1. Whatever happened to campaigns like that?

Is it the influence of corporate media, that our debates, stump speeches, and rallies have to be sedate, manicured, and properly powdered, with nary a harsh word for anyone or anything, no matter how wrong it may be?

2. i wish i knew the answer, but it certainly seems that the opposition are the only ones...

that have been showing up with a clear intention of WINNING, and not just to play the game by some stale Marquis de Queensberry rules/playbook; i'd love to see more dem candidates stepping outside their however-cozy strategies, and let fly with some of that old time religion, let their rapid response teams deal with the republican shit talk i am sure will follow,

i would think it easy to stay on point while poking your 'noble' opponent in the chest :)

this i like though, "properly powdered" that's funny :toast:
