Bill Maher is a very smart man. I totally disagree with his politics, but he is a very smart man. Townhall<\/a> posted an article today about his comments on the Democrat Party’s decision not to allow Fox News to host any of their primary debates.<\/p>\n

Mr. Maher made some very good points:<\/p>\n

“Last week, the Democrats made a terrible decision when they announced that they had turned down Fox News’s offer to host one of their 2020 primary debates, saying that Fox was nothing more than propaganda. OK, so why not go on Fox News and tell them that?” Maher asked rhetorically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou wanna be in the big leagues, but you refuse to ever play an away game? You don\u2019t like the questions that Fox News might ask, so you\u2019re deciding not to take any questions at all? How very Trump of you,\u201d Maher explained. Republicans never shy away from coming on this show, and they come with a smile on their face despite knowing that the only people in the crowd cheering them on are the three campaign aides they brought with them \u2026 The audience is against them and they don\u2019t care \u2014 it\u2019s an opportunity to expose people to your side of the story.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Telling you side of the story to people who disagree with you helps you refine your side of the story.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

“It’s not just on [Maher’s] show that Republicans are willing to go on,” Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy explained. “Most of the media is very liberal, and conservative Republican members of Congress are very accustomed to going on to CNN and MSNBC and ABC and taking tough questions, and yet the Democrats are afraid to do that.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maher is right. If the Democrats claim to be the “resistance” then they should be fearless. If they truly\u00a0<\/em>believe in what they’re saying then they should have absolutely no\u00a0<\/em>problem answering the tough questions Fox News has for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conservatives have to continually talk to liberal news anchors and reporters because the majority of news outlets are\u00a0<\/em>liberal. If conservatives refused\u00a0<\/em>to talk to liberal outlets then they’d be construed as “cowards” who are hiding from the tough questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s 2019. Get it together, Dems. If your candidates are too afraid to answer questions they don’t like while they’re running\u00a0<\/em>for president, then they won’t be able to handle the weight of answering tough questions while president.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get out the popcorn. Its going to be a very interesting year and a half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
