Political Discourse in America: Virginia Governor Says He'd Clock Trump
The state of political discourse in America right now...
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe is asked how he'd respond to Trump hovering over him like he did to Hillary during the debate. His answer:
"You would have to pick him up off the floor," McAuliffe responded. When Matthews asked if McAuliffe meant he would "deck" Trump, McAuliffe responded: "Listen, this guy got in my space, you want to get in my space, I've always said, Chris, you punch me, I'm going to punch you back twice as hard."
"This guy thinks he can intimidate everybody. It's disgraceful, it's embarrassing," McAuliffe continued. "But I tell you, when we take him on, back in his face with the facts, don't take anything from him and hit him back as hard as you possibly can. But if he ever came over and leaned on me and got in my space, that would be the last time Donald Trump ever did that, I promise you that."
While one may or may not agree with the sentiment, it's hard to believe there's anything positive that can come from the nastiness in political discourse among our leaders at the highest levels. It's a truly depressing development.
It seems as though every day the political discourse drops to a new low level. I'm with you...I kind of expect more from the political elite!
