For the life of me I do not know why they did not have Andrea Mitchell in Todd's chair. She would have done a much better job.

i think that might be due to the fact Mitchell doesn't anchor a show. not saying she isn't qualified, and likely helluva better than Todd, but maybe in their world anchors of programs gets dibs on the debate, heck, maybe head of NBC news got a news-personality-hard-on(not a perverse deviant sexual kind, that kind is reserved for Todd's shitty goatee) for Todd, thinks the rest of us are idiots, that's probably it.

Upchuck Toad and Andrea Bitchell are both biased hacks now. It should have been Rachel alone.

Sorry I saw that too and Howard made the point that Bernie makes labor union speeches. The fact is that politicians make speeches for money. So what. Keep demonizing Hillary and then moan over President Prissy ---Rubio.

I'd prefer Sanders to win - but he said it himself, even if Clinton got the nomination, she'd be 100 times better than any and all of the Republican nominees. So people should just vote Democrat no matter who wins.

I guess he was even too wonky for this wonk-fest.
