Fox News cut away from Trump's Michigan speech at Ford

[left-of-center2012]

I was surfing the channels and ended up on Fox News just as Trump walked up to the podium to speak.

Trump was reading from a script that he didn't seem familiar with, as if reading it for the first time,
and he kept stopping and ad-libbing little comments in an attempt to be funny.

"Wow! This place was created by Henry Ford. He had great genes.
Thomas Edison had great genes too."

After about four minutes Neil Cavuto switched from bumbling Trump and began an interview with a doctor about a possible vaccine.

I turned off the boob tube.

1. Neil Cavuto is Fox News' last tether to reality, and it's a pretty thin tether. nt

4. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the editorial decision

came from above. They are still working on managing Trump's image (in spite of a few of their journalists trying to keep their souls).

2. Henry Ford

Avowed racist and Nazi sympathizer.

Good genes. Where have I heard that before?

Thomas Edison - English stock outclassed by the Slav Tesla. Edison's granddaddy was a British Loyalist.

6. Worse than that...

Here is his oh-so-clever Nazi dog whistle:

"...the company founded by a man named Henry Ford... Good bloodlines, good bloodlines... If you believe in that stuff... good blood, hehe."

This is really happening, people.

This isn't a Riefenstahl retrospective,

and we're not going for cocktails and dinner after.
