I don't caare how he dresses either.... getagrip_already Nov 2018 #90

I don't. PCIntern Nov 2018 #20

That is a good idea. watoos Nov 2018 #30

Where is the recommend button on your post?? lostnfound Nov 2018 #61

His analysis of close races is not correct. They are within the margin of error and he adds opinion Demsrule86 Nov 2018 #41

What does any of that have to do with numbers crunching? GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #19

That's untrue and facile... PCIntern Nov 2018 #22

Agree BumRushDaShow Nov 2018 #167

Rose or Moyers would be great. I don't know what Ari's numbers are, and I'm probably not his... Tarheel_Dem Nov 2018 #170

I know Rachel spends quite a bit of time with her producers prepping for her show BumRushDaShow Nov 2018 #171

When I tune into MSNBC, I'm not looking to be entertained, but informed. Ari's trying to be both. Tarheel_Dem Nov 2018 #174

Exactly! nt BumRushDaShow Nov 2018 #175

Is it possible that Melber is targeting a different demographic? And succeeding? dem4decades Nov 2018 #78
