Chuck Todd is an embarrassment to MSNBC

Just listened to him and god is he awful.

If I went on and claimed the earth was the center of the universe, I think he would pontificate on why can't we all agree.

C''mon Chuck - the Republican accuses Nancy Pelosi of political malpractice and you can't even follow up with, "did you just make that up"

They can deliver their talking points with no push back. It's free advertising for them.

The Republicans/Trump have nothing, so Todd helps them make crap up - I don't know why - maybe so he'll appear to presenting both sides in a equal light? The problem with that is bribery is unconstitutional, and immoral.

and that nasty American Enterprise Institute (AEI) RW woman he always has on to belittle the Democrats ad nauseum (not sure if she is on today, but was a day or two ago)--Danielle Pletka--makes me so damned angry. She and Todd have their little RW "snide-fest."

His version of "Meet The Press" might as well be called "Here's Why Democrats Suck." He ought to be on Fox "News," not MSNBC.
