re: #62 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

And our media are set up to present a contrast between candidates who are usually comparably qualified, with established legislative or administrative records to refer to.

Nothing prepared them for trying to cover a race that includes a candidate who has no record of public service and no other apparent qualifications for office.

Oh, the delightful Andrea Mitchell has that covered (at least for the debates):

I think he could come out and be an acceptable new norm, and that’s what the Clinton campaign is concerned about. He could go 90 minutes, misstating facts let’s say, but looking smooth, being the performer, and she is the studious schoolmarm constantly saying you’re wrong about that, that’s a lie. It’s not an appealing persona.

Ugh. Go home, Andrea—PLEASE.
