Also, he'll ask a long complicated question, then proceed to answer it himself, then pitch to the guest "DON'T YOU AGREE? YES OR NO?" Then he'll interrupt again or move on when they start to expand or explain their answer. It's kind of like watching a stage mom walk their child through telling a joke when they're not confident they'll perform the way they want.

I guess the name "Hardball" is right; you just gotta duck out of the way and let the pitch go by with little chance of hitting it!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
