Trump’s comparison of the presidential debates to the ‘quiz show scandal’ isn’t getting enough attention

October 21, 2016 By Kathy Shaidle

I watched his speech live yesterday and yes, was as amused as everyone (sane) by his double-down on the ‘election results’ stuff.

But far more interesting to me, of course, was Trump’s comparison of Hillary getting debate questions in advance to the 1950s quiz show scandal.

Someone in the crowd even yelled “Charles Van Doren.”

Just a reminder that those scandals led to a congressional hearing…

Those were the days…
