11. I don't care for him and I never have.

I'll say this. His job is to report the news, not be the news.

And it's not the Democratic Party's responsibility to reach, teach or influence his 15 year old son. It's not the Republican Party's responsibility either. That was his responsibility.

I think he's just the latest man looking for "street cred" from other men who worship the con artist.

But he didn't get that, did he. Nope, he didn't win over anyone in the MAGA crowd and he lost whatever audience or base he still had as well as his reputation and credibility.

He's just the latest in the long line of men who throw everything away for the con artist.
