Jake Tapper was a contrarian mess of a moderator during a disastrous night one of CNN's democratic debates:
accused moderator Jake Tapper of posing a healthcare question as a “Republican talking point,” rather than asking a substantive question. He was right: Tapper specifically referred to Sanders’ plan as a way to “take private health insurance away from more than 150 million Americans,” attempted to box Sanders and Elizabeth Warren into questions of middle-class tax increases, and then tried to incite a fight between Sanders and fellow candidate John Delaney.
Let’s forget about the actual question of healthcare for a minute, though—you can read about the universal healthcare debatedebates: the role of the moderator. Throughout the night, Tapper regularly talked over the candidates, tried to incite fights and all but played into’ hands. Tapper wasn’t the only one who did this. All the moderators did. They also asked a ton of bullshit questions.
Here’s another good one, this time on the topic of the Green New Deal: “Are you concerned about Sen. Sanders’ plan to end new gas-powered car sales by 2040?” Or this one, which all but gives Trump’s wretched behavior an out: “What do you say to Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the President’s bigotry?”
These are jaw-dropping, blatantly leading questions that would be destined to give Trump’s reelection campaign ideal soundbites—that is, if the candidates had been given long enough time to talk in between Tapper’s incursions. If voters should take anything away from thedebates, its that Tapper is a contrarian blowhard and his network is perpetuating the very problems that got Trump elected. Night one of the debates was a disaster; we can only hope that night two will be even moderately better.
