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.

You want Tiffany in here, really? With the Nuclear Button and the everything else? That's an amazing thought. I have an incredible family, very strong & beautiful family -- many smart folks (kids & wives). And, Tiffany.
I'll tell you, I'm pro-life, but there needs to be a choice. Iowa, our farmers, very proudly, plant the Corn. And all kinds of other "plants" start growing. Nobody asked for them, nobody knows what they are, nobody planted them, nobody wants them. These are known as weeds. And they're nothing but a problem. So the farmers hire Mexicans, very hard workers, these guys go in with the little hoes. They bend over, they start hoeing. Until there's no more weeds. Or, now they have the spray. They go in with the spray, they go bing, bing, bing. They have the pump now, because of environmental. Because the ozone is very special. They pump away. And they wait. Pretty soon, the weeds are all dieing. While the beautiful Corn is totally O.K. It's better than O.K., it's much stronger without all those weeds. #MyRightToFarm [twitter.com] #StrongerTogether [twitter.com]
