On today’s BradCast, we try to make sense of the amazing GOP debate in New Hampshire on Saturday, the final one before tomorrow’s First-in-the-Nation primary in the Granite State.
First, I offer a very few quick reminders and action items for those interested in fighting for Election Integrity during tomorrow’s primary in NH. This, in a state which uses hand-marked paper ballots, but refuses to actually verify that results are accurately tallied by the state’s oft-failed, easily-manipulated Diebold optical-scan computers before announcing results to the public. (For a reminder of the nightmare that occurred on that system back in 2008, you can peruse our Special Coverage here.)
Then, I’m joined for today’s post-debate coverage and analysis by two progressive bloggers who have been consistently right for years — Heather Digby Parton of Salon and Digby’s Hullabaloo and Martin Longman of Washington Monthly and Booman Tribune — to discuss where Rubio, Cruz, Trump and the others, including the corporate media, went wrong on Saturday night…and, unfortunately, for so many years prior.
From Rubio’s remarkable on-stage meltdown to Cruz’ ability to lie with amazing impunity (even when he is actually called out as a “flat-out liar” by CNN!) to the danger that Trump’s ability to “win” may hold for both Republicans and Democrats alike.
And, as if that doesn’t give us all enough to cover today, we take the time to call out the corporate U.S. media (and the Obama Administration) for allowing this mind-bogglingly precarious moment in U.S. history to even have come about in the first place…
That was a brutal smack-down by Governor Christie on Marco Rubio. I actually felt sorry for that squeaky Florida shyster.
