I've always said that those who claim to be "constitutionalists", are often telling you that what they mean is, what they select from the constitution should be considered as gospel. Otherwise suddenly as "constitutionalists" when they can't use the constitution to make their point, they are the best ones to "interpret" the constitution. Y'know, like the "interpretationists" they hate so much.

I absolutely agree that the news hosts aren't doing their job when they don't ask hard follow-ups to non-sensical or incomplete answers. But I believe everyone should be pounding away as hard and as consistently as possible. Call them out for what they are. If I were running against Rand Paul, I'd flood the market with ads juxtaposing clips of him questioning support for Ukraine with video of death and destruction there. If I were running against MTG, I'd show clips of her claiming not remembering what she said about the insurrection with her actual statements and ask voters if they want someone who lies consistently representing them.Not to criticize after liking, but it isn't the dems who should be doing the pounding.
It's a f'n news show about reporting the news & supposedly getting at the truth. But CNN and the like can't even do that for fear of hurting their guests feelings. To quote some of that guest's loudest constituents "F' their feelings"! It's literally Tapper's job to drill down thru the bullshit. If he can't do that, nobody should watch him unless he's doing puff pieces. The dems as you say though should use such interviews to demonstrate that if one of these republicans is talking about anything abortion related, it should be assumed as a lie until they can prove otherwise. They've lost the "innocent until proven guilty" aspect when it comes to honest discussion about this topic and many more.
Back to what I was originally going to post.

Technically that is what many dems are doing. They just don't go as far as 'r's for fear of diving down to the depths of negativity that r's will do with their own like with Cawthorn. There's always a fine line that has to be thread by one side over the other, for fear of actually being no different than them. When elections become too negative it tends to turn off the voters the dems need, but not the r's.
When Terry McAuliffe uttered this phrase during a Virginia governor’s debate: “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach” - it was running in Glenn Youngkin ads CONSTANTLY starting the next day, all the way to the election.
As I said though, that's how r's roll. For some it will be a badge of honor to take things so negative it makes any election seem like a muck fest. Because in a muck fest you can just make up shit, and deny the truth. It's harder I know, but dems still have to unfortunately be the "adults" in the room. I'm not saying NOT using their own words, but don't make that the sole focus. Dems really need to start hammering an 'r' on what they will actually do to fix a problem. Not fixing whether or not Curious George is too "woke", but how to actually bring new jobs, improve wages, etc. There's a reason why "culture wars" have become the 'r' crutch, it's because you don't actually have to say you're going to do the job you'll be elected to do. Hammer the f'ers with actually printing out a plan on how to fix an economy or infrastructure, instead of waiting for a Biden plan to take credit for after shouting it down. It ain't pretty. It ain't inspiring. But you don't actually have to be, the r's inspire ( some ) dems.

Charles Dickens is rolling over in his grave. He wrote Oliver Twist to draw attention to the cruelty of making kids work (14 hour days when he was a kid). To think such a barbaric practice would reappear in the 21st century? Y’all-Qaeda is winning.
Actually the real belief of the Domestic Infant supply chain is that's intended for White children. The r's don't want you to consider what will happen to Black & Brown babies. It's all about some goof fantasy of "restocking" the dwindling White base, by not allowing those woman to abort their seed.
Consider that if she had been president, we wouldn't have certain justices we do now. Sooo... congratz on that nose holding.
Just so I follow, can you quote where I specifically said any such thing about stuff in the VA election being taken out of context or out of bounds?
