Do any of the BBC’s Journo’s that get the plum job of reporting from the good ole US of A actually like America? It seems doubtful.
Katty Kay certainly has some reservations and Donald Trump is the lightning rod that draws her wrath. Here she is slagging off the Trump and his supporters and declaiming their dislike for Clinton…all without a single mention of the siege that Clinton’s lefty stormtroopers lay to any Trump appearance, not to mention the attempt to kill Trump…made by a Brit who no doubt overdosed on BBC anti-Trump ‘journalism’ that paints him as the Devil.
I’ve never heard a speaker booed on the stage or a party this beset by internal strife or a wing of a party drag the rest out to the fringes of political respectability. It’s stunning and begs the question: Are we watching the death throes of the Republican Party?
Many people around the world may be surprised that the most vocal challenge to Donald Trump comes not from the American political centre but from the right of the Republican Party…….Ted Cruz. {Yep I guess all those violent anti-Trump demos just passed Katty by….and limiting this to ‘vocal challenges’ of course misses out the one where someone tried to shoot Trump].
In some ways the delegates at this convention seem to have gone beyond even Mr Trump on politically extreme rhetoric.
The subject of their ire is Hillary Clinton.
I honestly don’t know if it’s because Mrs Clinton is a woman. It may be because she’s been around as a political figure for so long or because her email server makes her look like she thinks she’s above the law but the hatred of her here is vicious and visceral. This has become the “lock her up” convention. Ask individual delegates about Mrs Clinton and they get a glint in their eye – she’s “evil”, a “liar”, “dangerous.”
They really, really hate her. On that they can agree.
Oh yes..not once but twice in the article we heard that Trump and his crowd are ‘on the fringes of political acceptance/respectibility’
‘A crowd that was willing to be pulled into the fringes of political acceptability.’
‘A wing of a party drag the rest out to the fringes of political respectability.’
And the end of the Republican Party? Analysis or complete overheated bunkum…and she seems to have totally forgotten the Tea Party…once the object of so much BBC ire….it was apparently the future once…and yet the Republican Party is still standing.
I suppose all this Democratic Party internal strife just passes the Katty one by…
