53. The right wing reaction is all about how she "destroyed" Chris Hayes.

WTF? She never answered any of his legitimate questions: just spewed right wing talking points ala Sarah Palin. She had virtually no valid facts on her side (Thirty percent above the poverty line is over a 90,000 dollar income per year?) Such ignorance would be laughable if so much of the Republican base actually making no more than the real poverty line (a little over $23,000 for a family of four) weren't swallowing it. Somewhere around $30,000 is a far cry from over $90,000. Poor empathy, no heart and bad math. Why do pundits claim the Repubs will take over Congress this year? Maybe you can't fix stupid, but why should the rest of us suffer? Democrats need to get off their asses and vote in the mid-term. BTW, still trying to understand why the AHA is harming our kids, according to this crazy lady.
