128. No problem, really. Probably have very low ratings though.

Nothing to be done about it though. MSNBC is obviously in the tank for her, as is Tweetie and the Toad, and now, apparently Maddow to boot.

I don't even tune in anymore. CNN seems biased as well but there are occasional flashes of light that manage to make it through the haze every so often.

As a matter of fact, it seems like Faux is sort of drifting into the Reality Universe once in a while as well, though I really don't have the money to buy gold.

MSNBC? They are done.

There will be a Town Hall with Bernie and Chuck Todd before the one with Hillary and Matthews BernieforPres2016 Mar 2016 #112

Good to know but I still think the optics are bad. I hope Bernie mentions that separate THs were snagglepuss Mar 2016 #116
