Is NBC News secretly in the employ of the Trump 2020 campaign? You really have to wonder by the series NBC News is running right now asking each of the Democratic presidential candidate to name their “one big idea” for America that will cause a groundswell and propel them to the White House next year. These are some of the “big ideas” they are offering:

 

Cory Booker: Baby bonds. What?

 

John Hickenlooper: Skills training. Whoa! Save up for that!

 

Kamala Harris: Raises for teachers. What—she thinks teachers aren’t already going to vote for a Democrat?

 

Julian Castro: Universal pre-K. I guess he caught up with the research showing Head Start has no lasting effect, so let’s spend even more . . .

 

Kirsten Gillbrand: Paid family leave. Paid for by whom? Elizabeth Warren maybe?

 

Pete Buttigieg: Abolish the electoral college. Probably will play well in the primaries. If you can’t win, change the rules!

 

Jay Inslee: Tackling climate change. Snore. . .

 

Bernie Sanders: Wait for it. Wait for it. . .  YES: Medicare for all! The suspense was killing me. But who will need Medicare if we’re all dead in 12 years? (See: Inslee, above.)

 

 

That’s as far as NBC News has gotten through the Democratic field so far. At this rate, Trump will waltz to a second term. These are their “big ideas”??? I can’t even get up for a bucket of popcorn with this lame roster.

The president, who has spent years embracing social media for his political advantage, is tentatively planning to live-tweet the debates on June 26-27, according to people familiar with the planning.

 

Mr. Trump, even from a remove, always promised to be the most important figure at the debate. Regardless of the specific debate questions, many Democratic voters will be listening for how each candidate plans to take down Mr. Trump.

 

Interacting in real time on Twitter would make Mr. Trump’s presence more tangible by directly inserting himself into the political conversation unfolding on stage.

Fox, CNN, C-SPAN barred from live coverage of South Carolina 2020 convention
 

In a first, only one TV outlet — MSNBC — will be allowed to deliver live coverage of Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic Convention where 21 presidential candidates are expected to speak, drawing heated complaints from other networks.
 

C-SPAN, which has never been denied live coverage of a state convention in the network’s 40 years, has reluctantly pulled out of the convention and other weekend events sponsored by the party. CNN has filed a complaint. Fox will also be barred from providing live coverage to its viewers.
 

The decision by the South Carolina Democratic Party was a surprise to the outlets and came just yesterday, long after all three had begun to ready for live coverage of the nine-hour event, one of the biggest on the Democratic presidential calendar so far.

Let the obstruction of justice begin.
