So, the key to the rural voter is promising them entitlements. That's the "country ruggedness" I like to see.

"His answers were vague, and he kept spouting weird "Our Revolution" talking points." I'm sorry Rich "Our Revolution" Has great talking points since they are rooted in reality. Your "Hit Piece" style of writing ,although entertaining, does not have roots in "reality journalism." If you want to up your game why not offer to debate the "Our Revolution" talking points.

Deep bench, Wa Dems. Keep it up!

Of course not. It's the REPUBLIKKKANS who are the global embarrassment.
Go, Dems, GO, and ROCK THE HOUSE!! Kick Trumpzillan apologists' asses and keep taking names until The EVIL EMPIRE goes down in flames.

Having a firsthand account of the meeting it is clear to me Smith failed to point out facts that journalistic standards once required to lay a cogent foundation for a strong and accurate news piece. These days it is common practice to twist the reality of a news event to make a story interesting to the reader. They seldom use factual content instead ginning up emotions by using personal biases and leading or false statements or premises to make the writer of "fiction" look impressive or gain popularity. Unfortunately these common place methods are used too much to gain access to more opportunities to turn “news” into fictional stories or “propaganda” for personal gain and possible stature in a field that was once a moniker of respect and honor! Maybe we can get a bipartisan agreement from the gallery on this?
