    James Surowiecki Retweeted The Hill

    1. CNN's framing of this segment was really irresponsible. This purported to be a focus group that would show what "Republican women" think of Kavanagh now. So each woman is identified as a "Republican voter."https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1043583989745897473 …

        2. But in fact the two women who dominated the discussion are not average voters - they're better described as GOP political operatives.

        3. The woman in the white sweater, Lourdes Castillo de la Pena, has served on the Republican National Senatorial Committee, and hosted a $1000-a-plate fundraiser for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign at her home.

        4. Gina Sosa, who made the now-infamous comment about how all 17-year-old boys have done something like this, was a congressional candidate in the GOP primary this year.

        5. Angela Vazquez is a Community Council member in Kendall, in Dade County. In other words, these were not GOP voters plucked off the street. They were, in large part, members of the GOP establishment in Miami-Dade.

        6. It's also odd to assemble a panel of largely Latina women in which most (all?) of the women are Cuban-Americans, who are far more conservative, and more supportive of Trump, than Latinx voters generally and than Latinx Republicans specifically.

        7. In effect, the focus group was stacked to produce the result it got: lockstep support for Trump's nominee, and unswerving fealty to the conservative line.

        8. What's surprising about that segment is not that those women said what they said - they were, in effect, handpicked to offer that line. What's surprising is that CNN thought this was a good way to show what average GOP women voters think.

        Replying to @JamesSurowiecki @emilynussbaum

        I recently heard the following: A young man was upset that a young lady turned him down for a date. His mother told him to “keep trying”. The correct answer is “move one, she told you “no”. We. Have. A. Problem.

        I stopped watching @CNN for this very reason. They kept calling it showing both sides but it was clear that they were only showing click bait extremism which “normalizes” behavior. @VanJones68 Donald Trump is Presidential was the tipping point for me.
