She agrees with what each side says about the other. There’s no way to disagree with the outrage that Democrats have for Trump, what Trump represents, and the blame that the GOP deserves for allowing a man who stands against everything conservatives stand for to carry their banner. Likewise, if you can’t see the collusion between the press and the political machine behind Hillary, then you’re in denial.

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. They were right to be offended at the idea that once you have sex, morality was out the window. That nobody cared if you lied, committed perjury, or anything if it has to do with sex. And somehow the issue of harassment became just sex and no longer mattered. The only thing that mattered was letting the president do his job getting us money. And yet, what are some of those conservatives saying now?

I have to get going, so I can’t keep watching the news. CBS had Mike Pence on CBS This Morning. Pence kept bringing it back to some of the more damning emails from the Hillary Camp. Charlie Rose insisted they would be going after Hillary’s people in a minute. He wanted to keep it on the Trump scandals. Pence kept on the email topic, but each time Rose said they’d get to the emails and the Clinton camp would have their time on the hot seat. That was at the beginning of the first hour. They’ve 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. It’s the beginning of the second hour, and they’re leading with the Trump accusations and national security. I’m sure they will get to those emails stories. Later. Much later. Remember, what the press leads with is what the press is focusing on. I tried to see if CNN was discussing the emails, but apart from the Prince concert, all I saw were interviews with the Trump accusers.

So yeah, an insightful assessment, courtesy of my lovely wife. And one I can’t really disagree with.
