represents, and the blame that the GOP deserves for allowing a man who stands against everything conservatives stand for to carry their banner. \u00a0 Likewise, if you can\u2019t see the collusion between the press and the political machine behind Hillary, then you\u2019re in denial.<\/p>\n<p>In the 90s, conservatives were rightly outraged as women accusing Clinton of sexual harassment and intimidation were called liars, GOP whores and trailer park trash. \u00a0They were right to be offended at the idea that once you have sex, morality was out the window. \u00a0That nobody cared if you lied, committed perjury, or anything if it has to do with sex. \u00a0And somehow the issue of harassment became just sex and no longer mattered. \u00a0The only thing that mattered was letting the president do his job getting us money. \u00a0 And yet, what are some of those conservatives saying now?<\/p>\n<p>I have to get going, so I can\u2019t keep watching the news. \u00a0CBS had Mike Pence on CBS This Morning. \u00a0Pence kept bringing it back to some of the more damning emails from the Hillary Camp. \u00a0Charlie Rose insisted they would be going after Hillary\u2019s people in a minute. \u00a0He\u00a0wanted to keep it on the Trump scandals. \u00a0Pence kept on the email topic, but each time Rose said they\u2019d get to the emails and the Clinton camp would have their time on the hot seat. \u00a0 That was at the beginning of the first hour. \u00a0They\u2019ve covered medical technology in Rwanda, stories about United Airlines flight delays, the Prince tribute concert, and shark cages, but not a single Hillary email story. \u00a0It\u2019s the beginning of the second hour, and they\u2019re leading with the Trump accusations and national security. \u00a0I\u2019m sure they will get to those emails stories. \u00a0Later. \u00a0Much later. \u00a0Remember, what the press leads with is what the press is focusing on. \u00a0I tried to see if CNN was discussing the emails, but apart from the Prince concert, all I saw were interviews with the Trump accusers.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, an insightful assessment, courtesy\u00a0of my lovely wife. \u00a0 And one I can\u2019t really disagree with.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She agrees with what each side says about the other. \u00a0 \u00a0There\u2019s no way to disagree with\u00a0the
