1. i couldn't get through it last night... Did Hayes EVER counter Duffy's pro-Trump memes?

[Fla Dem]

2. It ended up being a shouting match, each talking / shouting over the other.

[Dennis Donovan]

3. Duffy was way worse - kept talking over Hayes - Hayes couldn't get a word in.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. Hayes looks bewildered in that shot.

5. I Was Cringing the Whole Time,

Shouting at the TV set, "Get that jerk off the air!"

[Moostache]

8. So was I....so much so that my wife changed the channel and told me to walk the dog...

Duffy was simply repeating Barr's and Trump's lies and carrying water en route to a cabinet post.

Hayes needed to cut his mic, finish his question and then throw him off the show when he refused to answer for the 6th time...

6. When I hear about Sean Duffy all I think about is

the fact that he married the girl who made out with Puck. There is no coming back from that. All three of them are racist homophobes.

9. Wisconsin trails the US overall in almost every single economic indicator

Wisconsin wages and salaries grew 3.4% in 2017 in Wisconsin and 4.6% nationwide.
Wisconsin's forecast calls for total wage growth of 3.9% in 2018 and 3.6% in 2019, compared to
4.7% and 4.6% nationwide.

Wisconsin personal income grew 3.6% in 2017, somewhat above the Great Lakes region's growth of 3.5%
and significantly below the 4.4% growth nationwide.

Wisconsin personal income is expected to increase 3.8% in 2018 and 3.9% in 2019, compared to 4.5% growth nationwide in both
years.

Wisconsin employment growth slowed in 2017 and 2018, to 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively. U.S. employment grew twice as fast,
1.6%, in both years.

Wisconsin's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 2.8% in the second quarter of 2018 and has
stabilized at 3.0% by the end of 2018. Wisconsin's unemployment rate has been consistently below the national rate since
2008.

7. Hayes isn't an effective interviewer.

He lost control from the start and let the guest run his own, free infomercial and campaign spot on prime time TV.

He tried to ask the same question with different words, but the results were always the same, Duffy was running the show. He didn't want to answer so he aired the whole Republican playbook while an impotent Hayes sputtered and fumed from the side.

Hayes has never been a strong interviewer. He's too soft and gets easily flummoxed. He allows himself to become a useless prop when he's confronted by someone who is as aggressive and confrontational as Duffy.

His producers should never schedule another opposition interview because the outcome will be the same. He's OK with Democrats and other non-Republican guests, but he's just not ready to play rough with the Big Dogs.

10. We live in Duffy's district; he does not represent people in his district.

He does not know us, he is not interested, he is never here.
He is worthless.

We had an excellent candidate against him last election, Margaret Engebretson, but with the Republican gerrymandering of Wisconsin, it did not matter.

Side note: He first campaigned on lowering the federal deficit. Now he never mentions it and votes for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy, which massively raises the deficit. He tries to pretend there is no climate catastrophe looming but instead adds to the climate deficit (human overpopulation) by having nine kids.

13. Nine kids at last count.

[czarjak]

11. Arguing with idiots is always futile!

[rogue emissary]

12. This is a perfect example of why I don't watch Chris Hayes.

He invites the loudest and looniest conservatives on and expect to have a reasonable conversation.
