This method means dems do NOT control the agenda.

(101,730 posts)Todd is getting a hell of a lot of backlash--first with his zero follow-up velvet gloves interview of Trump and then his monopolizing and biased questions at last night's debate. If his MTP ratings were not so improved over his predecessor, David Gregory, I'd bet he'd be canned. Unfortunately, he won't be.
