MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yesterday, we reported that CNN has offered to host the first-ever televised Philippine presidential debate, to be moderated by star anchor Anderson Cooper.
Not wanting to be be outdone, FOX News has proposed to host a televised debate among the potential First Ladies (and Gents). It has sent an invitation to Korina Sanchez, wife of Mar Roxas; Elenita Binay, wife of Vice President Jejomar Binay; Narciso Santiago, husband of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago; and Neil Llamanzares, husband of Senator Grace Poe.
FOX News said that it was important to hear from the potential First Ladies and Gents because of the important role that they play in national and international affairs.
Megyn Kelly will moderate the debate, but former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will lead a panel of debate questioners.
The FOX News debate will be simultaneously aired on the ABS-CBN and GMA networks.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – At Tuesday’s CNN Democratic debate, the issue of casino capitalism was front and center when moderator Anderson Cooper asked Senator Bernie Sanders if he considered himself a socialist.
During the debate, Sanders defended democratic socialism and declared he was not a capitalist.
“Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little, by which Wall Street’s greed and recklessness wrecked this economy?” Sanders said. “No, I don’t.”
Hillary Clinton responded by saying the country needs to “save capitalism from itself.”
Reacting to that exchange, Republican presidential candidate and frontrunner Donald Trump used his Twitter page to defend casino capitalism.
“In contrast to the Democrats, I am in favor of casino capitalism, and I’m good at it. Hey, I own several casinos,” the real estate mogul said.
That’s Trump’s economic plan. In less than 140 characters!
