For the purpose of electing Republicans and defeating Democrats, of course, which is MSNbC and CNN management's goal. If he were at Fox he'd spout Fox lies. On MSNBC he targets his delicately poisonous spins at MSNBC's demographic sand and is very good at undermining weak convictions and convincing those easily discouraged that there's no one to vote for.

One of his most deadly methods is drawing false comparisons of Democrats with corrupt Republicans. In 2016 that was devastating. Claims by LW anti-Democrats that Democrats were just as bad as Republicans etc were augmented by Russia and RW media and "confirmed" every day by Todd and other trusted scoundrels in the MSM.

That's why MSNBC gave him MTP and has him working everywhere else too. But especially daytime slots where audience ignorance and vulnerability are stronger than evening shows. After all, the vote of a near-destitute home caregiver who watches daytime shows, and could be brought to think Hillary was lying when she promised to help caregivers, counts just as much as that of someone making four times as much who tunes in in the evening.

If he's not mumbling then he's speaking too soft, or too fast, and droppin cosonans and runningwordstogether.

He's a mess.

And it's not just me being hard of hearing. Even with the volume turned up, he's awful.

And the closed captioning can't figure him out either.

it would avoid Trump claiming he won on election night (since the sunbelt states are counting ballots immediately). Even then, the problem isn't Biden it is Trump and his behavior.

was tinkering with the map. Cook was like Oh (?) when Todd make questionable assumptions. Cook basically said some of the state polls are junk with potential leanings and the district ones were telling. He said he thinks it is more likely that the polls are understating Biden’s strength instead of overstating it. I believe Cook and Wasserman..

270 electoral votes. Anything beyond that is gravy. I am sick of people saying that Biden has to win by a greater margin or win in certain places. F#%k that noise. Why are there different goal posts for our side?
