The Hill published a column this weekend reporting that the Democrat race for the presidential nomination could get nasty. Candidates may attack each other during the primary process or so this publication says.
This is the sort of nonsense that passes for in-depth reporting on the left. What's coming next? Will Politico report that it may rain some time during the next year? Will the Huffington Post do an expose revealing that President Trump likes fast food on occasion?
It's a simple truth: there will be nasty exchanges between the Democrat candidates. There's also a second simple truth to remember: the reasons for the nasty exchanges are that (1) these candidates want to win, and (2) there's a lot to be nasty about when describing the other candidates.
Here are a few examples; there are many more:
Joe Biden
A. problems with racism in his past -- he fought against desegregation in Delaware at the start of his career.
B. problems with sexism and the #metoo movement -- he chaired the committee that didn't believe Anita Hill and approved the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.
C. problems with foreign dealings and misconduct -- he is on video saying that he threatened to withhold US foreign aid designated for Ukraine until that country fired the state prosecutor who was investigating Biden's son's company. Is it only obstruction of justice if he does it in the USA?
D. problems with his overall creepy conduct towards women -- needs no explanation.
Bernie Sanders
A. problem with his wife's alleged criminal behavior while president of a college in VT. -- She supposedly defrauded banks and then drove the college into bankruptcy. Somehow, though, the Sanders family ended up as multi-millionaires.
B. problem with his repeated expressions of support for America's enemies.
C. support for letting terrorists vote in US elections.
Elizabeth Warren
A. 1/1024 Native American -- enough said.
Kamala Harris
A. Got her start in politics as the mistress of top Democrat Willie Brown in California.
Beto O'Rourke
A. Arrested for burglary while in college.
B. Arrested for DUI and fleeing the scene of an accident. -- got off through "connections".
Amy Klobuchar
A. Throws things at her staff during temper tantrums.
Mayor Pete
A. Allegedly got major cash from "redevelopment" of a section of his city of South Bend.
You can be certain that all of the above items will be discussed during the campaign.
