Cokie Roberts to Trump: Don't you know white kids are being racist and mean because of you?

If you don't like the fact that Trump is winning, here's a thought: Get better people to ask him questions. Because if this is the best the mainstream media can do, it's no wonder Trump is having success. The full segment is mindblowing. Trump wants to talk about immigration policy, health care policy, jobs, debt . . . you know, substance. All Cokie Roberts wants to talk about is the notiong that according to "many newspapers" white children are in a racist frenzy and it's all inspired by Trump. (Video below) Give Trump credit for handling this nonsense extremely well. For one thing he refuses to accept her premise that this supposed behavior has anything to do with him, or that he should have some obligation to weigh in on whether he's "proud of it". He also points out continually that he's only talking about deporting people who are here illegally - in other words, simply enforcing the law - while it's apparently fine with Roberts that both Hillary and Bernie vowed last night that they would not enforce the law.

But the discourse! What about the children? I love it when the same people who are trying to make a political candidate out to be Hitler get upset about what's happening to the discourse. Here's a pro tip for media types if they're really looking to take Donald Trump down a notch or subject him to their fabled "accountability": Ask him questions about policy. Ask him how exactly he proposes to "clean up this mess" of the $19 trillion debt. Scrutinize the details of his health care proposal and challenge him about them. Ask him how he would approach foreign alliances and how he restore leverage for the U.S. in dealing with Russia, Iran and North Korea. Or you could be a complete moron like Cokie Roberts and ask him about what kids are saying on the playground, and then when he tries to talk about policy, try to stop him so you can go back to talking about what kids are saying on the playground. Because if this is the media's idea of how you hold Trump's feet to the fire, Trump is going to be the next president.
