After reading the comments of the four Republicans hoping to unseat U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams, I was struck by how almost all Republicans are following the Donald Trump/Fox News playbook.
The talking points? Trump is doing a good job. (He isn’t.) Democrats hate our country. (They don’t.) The Affordable Care Act is a disaster. (It’s not.) “Outsiders” were responsible for Salt Lake City’s recent civil unrest. (They weren’t.)
Anyone who believes these four talking points needs to venture away from Fox News and/or Trump's Twitter feed.
