I'm rather proud of the fact as to my ignorance as to who or what a "Steve Kornacki" is

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Depending on the source, a “Steve Kornacki” is either a) the devil incarnate or b) come on, he’s really not that bad.

Honest to God, my only exposure to him was one episode of Rachel Maddow where he was a guest and—no joke—I was too tired and fell asleep during his segment. So I couldn’t have an opinion on him if I wanted to.

[MontanaMama]

1. I'll dislike him on your behalf.

I don’t mind. 😏

[Wintryjade]

2. I do not know who it is either. I was tempted to ask, with another person throwing out the name.

I have no clue. I am curious about his significance.

[USALiberal]

3. People never want the analysis, they just want cheer leading! nt

[Yonnie3]

4. I didn't know either.

I asked my SO who he was and she pointed to the TV.

He sure is animated.

[Dennis Donovan]

5. IIRC, he broke Bridgegate...

...which was kinda a big deal since it helped scuttle any chances Christie had of getting the GOP nom in 2016.

He doesn't bother me at all. I guess I don't understand the vitriol against him here on DU?

[bobbieinok]

6. He was good on that. Appeared many times on Rachel's show with that story. She was the lead/anchor,

[Totally Tunsie]

9. I love his enthusiasm!

He sure loves numbers and loves his job, and it shows. I'll to him.

[Brainstormy]

26. me too, and he knows

more about the political make-up and history of these counties than ANYBODY!

[cachukis]

7. He looks at the numbers and some here prefer otherwise.

[NotASurfer]

8. Hope it's better than a Rusty Venture

10. There used to be a program on TV called Wild Kingdom, and I believe he was featured on one of their

segments

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Mutual of Omaha's

Wild Kingdom!

Long live Marlin Perkins!!!

15. Either you are a baby boomer like myself, or you are a Grand Master of Tivial Pursuit

[BumRushDaShow]

17. I am a tail-end boomer

will be 57 in a couple months. Used to watch that show!

[still_one]

18. you are a kid. I am a middle boomer. Respect your elders............

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Yeah like all my friends' older brothers and sisters!

I know that group well!!!

[still_one]

21. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[BumRushDaShow]

22. We all used to play together

but they were "the older kids" who had cool toys and stuff.

[Siwsan]

11. I gave him 5 minutes, once, and switched channels. I'm just not a fan of frenetic behavior.

I am just not a fan of performance art posing as election updates.

[still_one]

16. WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!!

[2naSalit]

12. And don't ever change!

[MoonRiver]

14. He's an irritant,

kind of like a fly you have to keep swatting away from your food.

[beachbum bob]

20. I keep all TV reporting on mute

[grantcart]

23. OK this is an obvious surrogate thread. How do you really feel about Olive Garden?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

24. I heard him on the radio earlier today,

on some NPR show. He wasn't at all manic as he is the Rachel Maddow. And some years back when I was still watching her regularly, he wasn't manic either.

Someone, maybe a producer? has decided he needs to be manic on her show. Either that or he's secretly auditioning to replace whoever that stock market guy is who is always manic and has apparently never had an inside voice.

[GoCubsGo]

25. I'm fucking sick of seeing his name here.

So much that I automatically delete posts when I see it. Almost did it here, until I actually read your subject line. I honestly don't give a rat's ass what he says.

[JonLP24]

27. I think the Kornacki hate is weird

[Bucky]

29. Right, he's just a normal reporter.

People on the internet get riled up about the stupidest things

[Hoyt]

31. I do too. He's giving good insights on early numbers right now.

[wasupaloopa]

28. My rule of thumb don't join in on DU group think.

Think for yourself.

[Bucky]

30. But what if EVERYBODY felt that way?

Don't us nonconformists sort of depend on the mob to have something easy to rebel against?

[wasupaloopa]

34. There will always be a mob.

I like Immanuel Kant’s definition of enlightenment.

Google Immanuel Kant what is enlightenment.

[krawhitham]

32. I like him

[Glamrock]

33. He's a political armchair quarterback who takes ten minutes at a time to tell you nothing.

Well this district went for x last election. But voters this year are looking at y. However part A of the district is pro w, so it's hard to tell. That being said, if part B and part C have good turnout, that could mean a flip. That's not to say part D is not worth talking about. Part D went y last election, but x the two elections before. But with voters in the district focused on j, it's kinda hard to tell.

Yeah, thanks dick.

[obamanut2012]

35. Same

[treestar]

36. Same her I didn't think he was so bad

Because he was saying democrats would do well in governorships.
