CNNs talking points following the first Republican debate

The talking points from CNN: 

Candidates go after Ramaswamy

DeSantis doesn’t stand out

Christie doesn’t have a breakout moment

Candidates draw distinctions on abortion

DeSantis tries, but fails, to duck January 6 question after being pressed by Pence 

Haley leans towards the general election

Scott sticks to Mr. Nice Guy routine


What are the hosts and writers at CNN trying to do with these talking points? Do they appeal to the broader audience of American voters or are they appealing to the CNN viewer base?

Let's talk about it.

Welcome Mr. Speaker

  There is finally a new Speaker of the House, Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana. It took the Republican party 22 days to get the speaker the gavel. What I learned is that there can be no business done during the time of a Speaker vacancy, a lot happened in 22 days and a lot more could have happened.  Perhaps there should be an amendment that there is someone that can run the House in a vacancy until one is voted in.

Is a Biden impeachment on its way?

CNN is reporting that the White House has sent a letter to news executives urging them to 'ramp up' scrutiny of Republican's Biden impeachment inquiry 'based on lies' What does that even mean?  It seems as though the White House, Democrats, CNN and other news organizations believe that the GOP is on a witch hunt, some is lying and there is no evidence of any high crimes or misdemeanors that President Biden has committed.  Fox News had a similar response when then Pres. Trump was being impeached.  Which leaves the question, has the impeachment process been politicized and will be used by the party in control of the House of Representatives now? Will we see an impeachment every four years if the President is a different party than the majority? This is a slippery slope and Americans should be worried.   Let's talk about it.
