[See NewsBusters for more.] In theory, a primary debate on cable is a time to analyze the quality and suitability of presidential contenders. But then there’s MSNBC. Unhinged debate analyst Joy Reid on Wednesday demanded to know how 2020 Democrats will respond to the desire of Trump voters for “cruelty” and the need to “hurt” illegals and “brown people” in general. Reid appeared about an hour prior to the start of the debate, focusing on the crisis on the southern borders. She said of suffering at detention centers, “The horror is deliberate.” Referencing  Atlantic writer Adam Serwer, Reid excoriated Trump voters: “The cruelty is the point. His base wants to see this cruelty to prove to them that he is hurting the right people. I want to see how these Democrats respond to that.”
