Because he didn't wig out and act like a complete lunatic, she thinks he did a good job. Peggy was sure grasping at straws. Shouldn't we demand more of a president than the ability to not act insane?

so-called pundits that often praise these occasional statements that run contrary to his normal crazy and sometimes frightening utterances. If they cannot or will not face the reality of what Trump says and his actions they should not be considered a rational voice on the political stage.

The MSM will never be net-negative on the GOP.

They'll always "balance" any remotely left-leaning opinion with crap like this so it's at least a wash for the GOP.

Unless it's Fox News, which is unabashedly all GOP propaganda, all the time.
