As we saw yesterday, candidates for the highest political office in the country prefer to get really easy, boring questions that pose no challenge to them and get very traumatized when moderators do anything but coddle and humor them.
Now, please remember that those whiny students at Yale are children of this same class. Is it surprising that they are just as fragile and want the university to be their “safe space” instead of an intellectual environment?

Clarissa, you keep saying that Yale students are “rich.” But you went to Yale, too. Does that make you rich?

Yes, obviously, and quite literally so. Why else would I go?
Or did somebody confuse me with those self-pitying creatures who sit in the midst of an opulent lifestyle the overwhelming majority of people on the planet cannot even imagine and consider myself indigent and miserable because I don’t have a mansion?

And how many high-ranking Democratic politicians have also gone to Yale?
Bill Clinton, Jerry Brown, Howard Dean, Andrew Cuomo, etc. The list could go on and on.

Of course. I’m talking about a social class, not a single political party.

I know, but your first sentence is a reference to the Republican candidates — who aren’t any different, social-class-wise (is that a word?) than their Democratic governor/senator/congressional peers. 🙂

To their credit, the Democratic candidates haven’t asked for easy questions in this cycle. But they’ve only had one debate, so we’ll see.

Yes, please remember that there are useful ends that are sought in buying off the politicians that come from this class of whinging spectators to the ebb and flow of realpolitik …
You don’t actually believe they’re instrumental to the process, do you?

No no, they just have to keep the continuing game of Let’s All Kick the Can Together in motion …
