Nets Silent on Dem Senate Candidate Celebrating Death of Justice Scalia

While the liberal “Big Three” networks were up in arms Wednesday evening over the a comment Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made about “second amendment people” in reference to stopping Hillary Clinton, they were strangely silent then when a Democratic Senate candidate from Ohio was caught celebrated the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. “And my friends, a lot of average citizens out there don’t understand the importance of that court,” Ted Strickland declared during an AFL-CIO event, “I mean, the death of Scalia saved labor from a terrible decision.”

And Strickland didn’t stop there. “And I don’t wish anyone ill, but it happened at a good time because once that decision had been made, it would have been tough to reverse it,” he said to the crown as the union members laughed and cheered him on. Once the audio recording of his comments came to light he issued an apology saying, “That was an insensitive remark and I apologize.”

I'm still there, but I saw a bunch of familiar names over here.   So I figured I'd stop by.

I still am for Trump 100%, but I do respect others' opinions.    I just can't fathom Hillary becoming President.

Not in your camp on Trump, but I respect those like you who are. If Trump could exorcise that petulant 9 YO boy inside of him (Mark Davis' words), it would be a different story. Dittos on Hillary.

Trump has always been my #2 behind Cruz, but that was predicated on him pivoting after he won the nomination. Trump seems to keep doubling down on incendiary remarks.

The way I see it.  Hillary is going to piss me off 95% of the time.  Trump will only piss me off 70% of the time.

I'd say you're playing the "under" on both...lol.

This is SOP for commiecrats.  Say something nasty, make sure the nets cover it, then apologize when you're sure the nets won't be covering.

It is better to be pissed off than to be pissed on.
