QOTD: The latest Village It Boy
by digby
That’s right, Hugh Hewitt who is taken seriously by all the villagers as an honest broker and reasonable person had this to say on CNN:
Using my boxing analogy, in the 15th round Marco Rubio laid one on Ted Cruz. But here’s the deal about fact-checkers. Nick Kristof, terrific columnist for The New York Times, tweeted out that Donald Trump said, in fact, in his hearing that he wanted a 45 percent tariff.
Fact-checking doesn’t matter in these things. What matters is personality and aura and your command presence and of all those two, the best command presence last night was Donald Trump and Marco Rubio. And I keep marveling at how Donald Trump can dominate a television screen. He reaches through the screen sometimes and you know you’re back on Celebrity Apprentice. It’s an amazing skill set.
And so whether or not he said 45 percent or not, or whether or not Chris Christie said, I like Alisyn Sotomayor, I would vote for her, or whether or not Ted Cruz said this or that on H1B visas, none of that stuff matters when you go to vote. What matters is who can beat Hillary Clinton.
Well, I guess he is being honest. It’s all affect and bullshit. That’s true. And it has been going that way for a long time time. Thanks to people like Hugh Hewitt.
