Wingnuts for Hillary

The Nightly Build...

Mark Davis Relishes Democratic Turmoil

Mark Davis, in his regular column in The Dallas Morning News, tries to make the case that the endless Democratic nomination fight is actually good for Democrats and the country. Davis would have us believe that the campaigns tossing "personal and political barbs" at each other is actually more valuable than if the campaigns spent a month on "dry policy issues."

The Presidential campaign as circus. With Republicans munching popcorn and watching gleefully from the grandstands. Cheering on Hillary Clinton! And not having to defend their own disastrous foreign policy and economic policy fiascos. Mark Davis says this is good for the country. Mark Davis lies even more easily than Republicans claim the Clintons habitually do.

By the way, was anyone else struck by how easily Mark Davis writes, "As a Republican, I..."? Why is the News an official outlet for Republican Party talking points? Does the News give any Democrat their own regular column?
