PlanetPOV is summarizing this week's news using unrelated YouTube videos. While in sync with today's level of journalism, we hope you'll find it as informative as it is entertaining. Thank you!
The first Democratic Presidential debate is tonight at 5:30 pm PDT (8:30 pm EDT). It looks to be a very interesting and energized debate and as usual, we're hosting a live chat right here during the debate.
Like a heroin addict desperately shooting up whatever he can find to get high again, the MSM has mainlined the story of Huma Abedin finally divorcing her emotionally deranged husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner as being all about Hillary.
Up until now, though there has been a degree of polarization between Hillary and Bernie supporters, a majority of Bernie supporters appear to be okay with voting for Hillary if she is the eventual nominee. However, just as Hillary alienated many Obama supporters in the 2008 primary by trying to smear him with Reverend Wright/unAmericanism and other falsehoods, Hillary's and her SuperPAC's attempt to improve her polling in this way may have the opposite effect.
Hillary Clinton has been justifiably frustrated by polling that shows young women preferring to support Bernie Sanders instead of her. What is questionable though is whether playing the gender card to turn that dynamic around to her favor, is helpful or will backfire.
"I'm telling you, Hillary's a full blown zombie, she eats brains! If she becomes president, look out! Do you really want a zombie for your President, I mean, come on," Trump exhorted his white male, pale and jagged toothed audience who responded in unison chanting, "Brains!!!"
As the cliche goes, the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. It's also been the practice of Democratic Party establishment, on and off for many years.
Democrats should not fear democracy as a threat, firstly because just the opposite is true and secondly because Republicans will sue them for theft of intellectual property (it's the only use of the word "intellectual" Republicans are permitted to make).
It's a big night in the campaign for President and as always, PlanetPOV will be hosting a live chat to accompany tonight's VP debate. The debate begins at 6:00pm PDT at Longwood University in Virginia, our live chat begins at 5:30pm PDT.
The second Presidential debate between Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton and temporary Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump takes place tonight at 6:00pm PDT. As usual, we'll be hosting a live chat during the debate and you're invited to join us!
