I thought vetting was only for the Blah people? Remember how well they "vetted" the dumb-dumb Palin? And then spent so much time caterwauling about how the media, the gubbermint, and basically the world, did not properly vet Obama?

And by that, they meant that he was BLACKITY BLACK BLACK and had a foreign-sounding name, if you weren't catching their drift about what they meant about "vetting" in relation to Obama. The center-right Obama had nothing to really be concerned about, since the Democratic Party does things like this, including running oppo research on their own. They thought it was just plain criminal, no, socialism, no, Communism, no, fascism, that Hillary would run oppo research on donOLD, though, so you can see what we are dealing with here.

Of course, they had no problem with the "liberal media" doing next to nothing in 2015 and 2016 to explain to the American public just who and what donOLD was, and it was not a bigly successful bidnessman, LOL. The media, and the right were just fine when no one was vetting donnie for the American public and letting Johnny Public think that donnie's persona was all about the one created for him on the game show he was given.

Long story short - the cons don't really have a good relationship with vetting.
