Here in the U.S., the presidential election season, like Christmas, seems to start earlier and earlier each time.
In keeping with this, the Democratic National Committee is making waves by announcing that it will exclude Fox News, which has the largest viewership of the major cable news networks by a considerable margin, from debate coverage of DNC presidential candidates.
Thomas Lifson outlines a number of reasons this may not be a good move.
One is that from a historical and strategy perspective:
Presidential debates inevitably favor the challengers. Trump can push them in that direction by agreeing to debates only if Fox News is included. That forces them to either accept FNC or have no debates at all. If they accept, that makes FNC the debate worth watching. The rest are discredited as Democrat "safe spaces,"
And it appears he has pounced and done exactly that from his twitter account:
Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate. Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!
Really all either party has to do is A) not be crazy and/or B) keep their idiot mouths shut to win.
Neither of these seems to be in the cards dealt to either side, so it should be a heck of a ride.

Well all the Planned Parenthood workers, medical professionals, homosexuals, and others that are routinely harassed by conservatives. The list is a bit long so pardon me for not naming names.

Nice deflect. Wake me when they are harassed for displaying Democratic party affiliations.

Those "bombs" (inert props) were sent via the infamous post office in Broward where the voter fraud was performed.
Notice that nobody got hurt. The "bombs" didn't even fail; they succeeded. The whole point was to accuse the right of sending bombs, but that never happened. We call this a "false flag operation".
