Democrats’ presidential primary debates proving to be a debacle

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 8 August 2019


The candidates paid scant attention to these Debate 2 time limits.

President Obama's legacy was trashed as many candidates sought to distance themselves from his administration's decisions – but still no questions to Vice President Biden on the Carter Page and Hillary Clinton sagas which have cost taxpayers well over $50 million dollars – and the metre is still running.

No question was asked on four key word issues of great public interest and intense media scrutiny over the previous two weeks:

  • Mueller
  • Impeachment
  • Homelessness
  • Anti-Semitism

What has emerged however is an ever-widening divide between the Moderate and Progressive wings of the Democratic Party - ensuring that whoever wins the nomination will have a lot of disgruntled Democrat voters from the other side who will simply not vote.

Biden must at some point - before the Democratic Party's Presidential candidate is finally selected – answer moderators' questions on the Obama administration and Biden's involvement in the Carter Page and Hillary Clinton debacles.

The Biden elephant in the room cannot avoid scrutiny – even if Fox News moderators are not there asking the questions.
