2. Get rid of Todd

He belongs on faux noise.

3. +1

6. Yeah, my reaction as well

I am so sick of Chuck Todd and from what I can see, I'm not alone.

4. Two of the 13 who betrayed fellow TV anchors and journalists by attending the SOTU luncheon.

They'll do little to help the Democratic cause in Las Vegas and Nevada.

They may mean well, but these two, among those I call the Dirty Thirteen, sit adjacent to alt-right ideas.

Our party candidates will get their message out in spite of them, not because of them.

Just my opinion.

5. Todd

What the hell are they thinking. Oh, dummy me, they aren't thinking.

7. The toad is back :(

9. Not Chuck Todd -- ugh.
