Good Man Vs. Bad: Carson Rejects Contested Convention; Kasich Embraces It

Democracy, Donald Trump, Morality, Republicans

It’s the difference between a good man and a bad man. When, in Dec. 2015, Ben Carson (good) got wind of the Republican Party’s schemes for a contested convention in the year ahead, he “condemned the GOP heads … for trying to ‘manipulate’ the primary outcome.” Carson persists in this ethical position.

“If the leaders of the Republican Party want to destroy the party, they should continue to hold meetings like the one described in the Washington Post this morning,” Carson said in a statement, which described the monthly dinner as a “party boss insider meeting.”

When weak, whiny, insider John Kasich heard he might be the anointed one, chosen by Republican Party operatives to steal the nomination from Donald Trump, he rejoiced.

We will go into Cleveland with momentum, and then the delegates are going to consider two things,” Kasich said. “No. 1, who can win in the fall — and I’m the only one that can, that’s what the polls indicate — and No. 2, a really crazy consideration, like, who could actually be president of the United States.”

How bad is Kasich? HuffPost and MSNBC, left-liberal outfits, are proposing a Clinton-Kasich ticket:

Hillary Clinton should ask John Kasich, the Republican governor of Ohio, to join her in creating a “unity ticket.” It’s time for a national ticket that reflects our national desire for a new type of politics for our modern America.

No sooner had I penned “Trump And Trade,” questioning the slavish devotion of my own philosophical tribe, libertarians, to trade deficits, without considering that America’s trade imbalances occur in the context of debt—personal, corporate, state—than the magnificent Maria Bartiromo introduced, on Sunday Futures, the equally impressive Stephen Miller to speak to these matters.

Miller is a Trump Campaign senior policy adviser.

To comport with his earlier contention that, “We can’t have a service only economy,” Miller stated today (3/20):

It’s the donors vs. the voters. “The choice we have is between the national interests vs. the special interests.”

Mr. Trump’s has killed off the Cult of Megyn Kelly. Next on his to-do list: Replace crappy journo Kelly with pro Ms. Bartiromo.

UPDATED: Megyn Kelly’s ‘Journalistic’ Method

Celebrity, Donald Trump, Feminism, Journalism, Logic, Media

Megyn Kelly often uses dubious questioning techniques, when it comes to Donald Trump. In her line of questioning, she’ll often assume facts not in evidence, or, at least, facts the anchor fails to present or elicit. By assuming facts not in evidence, Kelly creates a certain perception about Trump.

For example: When it comes to covering Mr. Trump, the Fox News anchor routinely, again and again, asks her Trump-hating guests questions in this vain:

“You object to Mr. Trump’s sexist language, why is this so important to you?” But she’ll seldom say what precisely are these words she is discussing. (Kelly’s on a personal crusade.)

This is appalling journalism.

I’m surprised her show is still doing well. Fox News head honchos, then, resort to the feminist card in defending her; working mother, blah, blah:

” … an exemplary journalist and one of the leading anchors in America” … the network will “continue to fully support her throughout every day of Trump’s endless barrage of crude and sexist verbal assaults.'”
“As the mother of three young children, with a successful law career and the second highest rated show in cable news, it’s especially deplorable for her to be repeatedly abused just for doing her job …”

The Trump camp’s rely:

Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks responded Friday evening: “Megyn Kelly is a highly overrated reporter and anchor that constantly disparages Mr. Trump with negative and inaccurate reports. Despite the fact he wants nothing to do with her and will not appear on her show due to her extremely biased reporting, much of the program is about him anyway on a nightly basis.”

Trump has been deeply critical of Kelly since an early GOP debate in which Kelly pressed Trump on his past misogynist statements against women. But he began to re-engage Tuesday night, calling her “crazy” and “the most overrated person” on television.

“Everybody should boycott the @megynkelly show. Never worth watching. Always a hit on Trump! She is sick, & the most overrated person on tv,” he wrote earlier Friday.
