John King was CNN’s rising star a decade ago but his consistent inability to do what he is supposed to be sooooo good at, which is guesstimate what America is thinking politically has bumped him to third stringer status. This morning he spent an hour steering his panel into the assumption that real Americans were aghast at the Obama/Clinton decision to listen to the Governor of Louisiana’s request to not visit his soggy state until people lives were no longer in jeopardy for a photo op. At the end of the show he revealed the results of an ambush poll of viewers asking if Obama should have zipped down to Baton Rouge to pass out some more Play-Doh. Please turn up your volume and enjoy his disappointment:
x YouTube VideoI am not a trained, paid pundit monkey like John King or Jon Martin or Nia Maliki Equivicata but…… my guess is when most Real Americans see Donald J. Trump sending the love to American’s of color in front of bleached, country club audiences, the insincerity oozes. When they see him passing out a couple boxes of Play-Doh in a blazer then dashing off for a blood transfusion, the pandering screams.
Every time the media says Trump knocks it out of the park Hillary jumps in the polls. Every time they say he wants to put Pennsylvania in play she takes another Colorado, Virginia or… yes, Pennsylvania, off the map. I’m sorry this isn’t going to be a good horse race John but it isn’t. As much of an opaque, lying liar as he is, Trump is the most transparently awful candidate of my or any of our lifetimes.
Oh, now it’s time to watch John King’s wife Dana Bash ask the Louisiana Governor “if President Obama should have come sooner”. That would be the same Governor who told the POTUS publicly four days ago NOT to come. Not to put on a photo op. Not to act like Donald Trump. I guess the King household doesn’t read to well, huh?
