"I'm a 22-year-old youtuber. You hold me to a higher standard than the President"

This Adam Mockler fella is going places.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

Mockler: I said Donald Trump created this environment over the past decade. You sat here and said, I need to take responsibility. I'm a 22-year-old youtuber. You hold me to a higher standard than the President

The click-bait headline thing seems to infect all pundits, influencers, and podcasters. I guess it works, but it is irritating.

And I love the fact he lives in my town, Chicago. I only wish that I had his intelligence when I was his age.

It's not necessary to get people to watch the video - unless of course they trying to appeal to magats.

Once you understood that, you can forgive it. He's working within the system's rules, and with his talent and debate skills, is doing really well.

He's already got a sizeable audience, and it is growing quickly. It's great that he's been tapped recently as a semi-regular guest on CNN. He's very knowledgeable and great at debate. On the flip side, CNN should be ashamed to continue to employ Scott Jennings. The guy knows nothing, his only method of debate is to call people he disagrees with names. Not to mention he lies as much as Trump. The guy is absolutely disgusting.
