I don\’t have the video or transcript yet, but Senatorand Republican candidate for President Marco Rubio was interviewed by MattLauer on the Today show this morning.
His questions were awful. Or, put another way,just the way I\’d expect them for a Republican candidate.
Just about every one, it seemed to me, was asked in away designed to provide fodder for Rubio\’s opponents (think Hillary).
Rubio, to his credit, kept his composure and wadedthrough them very, very well. On the mass murder at Upqua CommunityCollege, for example, his response was – paraphrasing here – “whyaren\’t we talking about why they do this, why is it only what they use?”. To Lauer\’s insistence that he take a position on the House ofRepresentatives battle for Speaker of the House, Rubio reminded Lauer that hewas in the Senate. And, believe me, there was more.
This, of course, occurred after yesterday\’s “townhall meeting” love-in for Hillary.
It is what Republican candidates have to deal with onshows like Today. And CBS This Morning. And Good Morning America. Etc. etc. etc.
Media bias? Naaahhh
WhenI have a transcript I\’ll add to this blog.
