I think Michael Steele is pissed off at Chris Jansing on MSNBC

[LiberalFighter]

Jansing suggested that Trump could go to Montana and there would be 100,000 showing up at his rally.

1. It is bragging if you can't do it

[Srkdqltr]

2. Was she being a smart ass? Excuse me , sarcastic?

[Docreed2003]

3. The rally is in Bozeman right?

Are there 100k people in the Bozeman area? (Just Teasing Montana DUers)

[maxsolomon]

11. Now there are.

Gallatin County is 127K. A significant portion would rather line up to piss on Trump's grave.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. No there is not.

They would have to come in from Idaho, and outer areas. Montana is a big state populated like Wyoming. Spread out.

Montana has Helena, Billings, Missoula, nd Bozeman being larger cities that are spread out. They don't call it the Big Sky state for nothing.

4. Cnn is no better...'When IS Kamala Harris going to hold a press conference....?'

5. Cattle maybe...

6. Both the A blocks on MSNBC and CNN are fluffing the Trump Campaign up

Feels a bit obnoxiously coordinated and I’m sure someone like Steele sees that from the behind the scenes perspective even more

[LakeVermilion]

7. TSF would have to

pay 98,500 of them, plus pay mileage!

[ScratchCat]

8. Yeh, 10% of the State's population

Is going to show up for a Trump rally.

9. It's raining McCain

This is like when the press was lost and bewildered in 2008. They did not want to report that the Democratic candidate was running away with the election. They needed a "horserace" for ratings. It got so bad some Republicans couldn't tell if the "Raining McCain" song was satirical or supportive.

[Peregrine Took]

10. We so need our own network! (Nt)

[haele]

12. Okay, she's saying around 10% of Montana voters will show at his rally?

I believe Montana currently has a population of around 1.5 million.
That's the about the population of the average suburban or "bedroom community" city in California. But Montana is around 145k square miles instead of maybe 40 square miles.

I doubt he could get 100k if he held a rally in Connecticut where the majority of people won't have to be driving a couple hundred miles just to get to the venue.

Someone needs to brush up on her Geography.

13. Stop lying your pathetic asses off

send them a postcard

[Gore1FL]

14. MT has a population 1.123 million (per 2022 data)

I sort of doubt 9% of the state is going to show up.

[Sugarcoated]

15. She's so lame, so bad at her job.

Steele is rightly exasperated by how easily the media lets themselves get played.

Maga pee paw wants a photo op. He wants the visual of a packed rally. The emperor has no clothes...

[Music Man]

16. I didn't get that vibe.

Chris Jansing was asking why Trump would be campaigning in Montana instead of a swing state, and she wondered if it had to do with the fact that Trump is obsessed with rally numbers and ratings. I forget Steele's answer, but I took it more as incredulity at Trump than Jansing.

[Earthrise]

19. +100

Seems to me to be much ado about nothing. Criticizing journalists is absolutely fair game. The very frequent criticism of cable talk news show hosts seems to me to be mostly smoke and little fire.

[Maeve]

18. He has never gotten close to that number at a rally

A third, .maybe, in '16...

[Squaredeal]

22. The big swing state of Montana?
