Jill Stein in MSNBC Convention Floor Interview Last Night

I had the displeasure of watching that interview. She's a weird one, indeed. An uptalker, too. I can't imagine why anyone would be supporting her for President, frankly. She spent her limited time trying to convince people to switch over to support her as a Green candidate, but made little sense at all in what she said.

Frankly, I was so distracted by her manner of speech that I can't remember who it was who interviewed her on air.

Shame on MSNBC, too, for sneaking her into the convention venue so they could interview her there. She should never have had any sort of credentials to access that venue. It was an ugly mistake on that network's part, in my opinion.

hard to understand. She's unqualified in so many ways, and so narrow in her views that she could never be a serious candidate for that office, or any other, as far as I am concerned.

And an anti-vaxxer, too? I did not know that.

Other party's trolls. That is disgusting.

If msnbc wants to talk to her, they can take their asses out into the heat to interview her, or pay for a set somewhere else.

interview to walk out with the walk-outs once the nomination was finished. MSNBC enabled her to troll the convention floor by inviting her in for the interview, apparently.

You're right. They should have interviewed her outside of the venue, not finagled a guest credential for her to appear on their set inside. I was more than a little annoyed by that one, and even more annoyed when I learned that she had used that guest credential to mingle with delegates after the interview.

Still, she had little effect on anything, I suppose. MSNBC got its little opposition interview, though. I hope they're proud.

8. It's only fair to let her on the DNC floor, just like they let Gary Johnson into the RNC

Wait, what? Are you telling me MSNBC didn't actively undermine the Republicans like they are with the Democrats?

Huh.

The white privilege babies from the little hamlets of Vermont and New York and Oregon sure drop their standards fast, don't they?
