say “Democrat” incorrectly several times now (in last two days) and today he is trying to make the case that Trumpsters are neglected disenfranchised voters. Rather than gullible and uneducated or cynical opportunists.
Pleeeze.

1. The instant that vile POS shows up I grab the remote.

[dchill]

27. That's about the size of it.

I, for one, will NOT watch that.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

36. I've sent MSNBC an email to that effect although I know they won't give a shit.

[Lovie777]

2. They replaced Nicole Wallace for him?....................

[Hekate]

7. She's not "replaced." I think this is spring break at her son's school or something.

[C_U_L8R]

3. He's a slippery character

The network doesn't do themselves or viewers any benefit bringing on self-serving politicos like this trying to rehabilitate their national images.

[inthewind21]

9. Don't they?

They have this very site buzzing talking about it. Pretty sure they know EXACTLY what they are doing. And, it works.

[orleans]

13. we're talking about in a negative way

which makes me decide i won't be turning on msnbc anytime soon; why should i watch some asswipe? hell, i could turn fox on if i wanted to get pissed off at the tv

not all publicity is good

[Rebl2]

22. Have to

agree with you. Do not care for him at all.

[spanone]

4. I can't stand him. Click.

[multigraincracker]

5. Correct him every time.

Ask if he is ok with being called a “Publican”?

[hlthe2b]

6. The one good thing I can say about former Hardball Host, Chris Matthews--he ALWAYS CORRECTED

those who would say "Democrat" Party or the like. And he was not having a recurrence, that's for damned sure. OF course, he'd been around to see how it has been intentionally propagated by Newt Gingrich and his ilk as a direct slur against the Dems.

Maybe we bring on Chris to have a few sessions with Kasich--assuming we are stuck with the latter.

[Trueblue1968]

8. i hate him. why is msnbc putting his lying @ss on their shows.

[Hekate]

10. Write to his bosses and correct him Every. Single. Time.

Eventually he will get it.

[badhair77]

11. I turned the channel with the idea I'd switch back later, but I didn't.

Without Nichole I could care less. I gave him a chance but he kept talking about himself and his past campaigns. Yawn.

[Bev54]

12. That is his same old schtick, hasn't changed in years and he has nothing of

value to say. Obviously CNN didn't want him anymore, why would MSNBC think we would want to hear from him. To me he is like Andrea Mitchell, I will hear or see them and immediately change the channel.

[Frasier Balzov]

14. Michael Steele, David Jolly and Charlie Sykes have worked out all right.

[dchill]

29. They're not promoting Republican talking points.

[LakeArenal]

15. I don't think trumpers are neglected disenfranchised.

But they think they are. That’s the problem to overcome.

PS use spell check when suggesting someone else is uneducated.

[vanlassie]

20. Excuse me?

I misspelled something?

[LakeArenal]

21. Yes.

[vanlassie]

24. Not according to my screen. So, if you would

kindly tell me which word, I will happily edit.

[LakeArenal]

26. Disenfranchised

[vanlassie]

34. I sure did.

[rwheeler31]

16. He was on MSNBC and Mulvanney was on CNN, they are both snakes.

[Botany]

17. He sold Ohio $390 million dollars of bad paper from..

.... Lehman Brothers and he made out like a bandit. He stopped a new passenger rail system in OH because
he works for the Kochs and the fossil fuel industries, he had one of his wall street buddies come into OH
"to help us out" by selling all the future profits from liquor sales to some kind of wall street group which
paid out $5 million or so to buy the profits which were worth > 30 million and the $5 million came from
borrowing against the back end of the deal, he let the public school system funds be used for private
charter schools, lived in his own house in Westerville instead of the Governor's House and had the people
of OH pick up the costs of transporting him the extra 40 or so miles a day, and he helped to spread the toxic
shit for years. And if I know John .... which I do .... he sees himself that Jesus walked on earth so he could be
President and he sees being on MSNBC as nice stepping stone to do just that.

He is not to be trusted. Koch whore.

[dchill]

30. ...but other than that, he's a GREAT guy!

[Botany]

32. I haven't seen him in years but in person he really is a nice guy.

True story.

[allegorical oracle]

18. Trust him about as far as I can throw my piano. Too slippery by half. nt

[IcyPeas]

19. are you effing kidding me? supported things like guns in bars ... "pro lifer"

wanted to defund Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood Action Fund issued a statement on Wednesday -- the same day Ohio a bill to defund Planned Parenthood’s is expected to land on Kasich’s desk, and he has promised to approve – that started “Kasich is no Moderate; Has Been Making Life Hell for Women in Ohio.”

Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill Sunday prohibiting the state from contracting for health services with any organization that performs or promotes abortions, blocking government funds to Planned Parenthood.

In 2016, Governor John Kasich signed the law defunding Planned Parenthood and blocking access to health care and education provided by Planned Parenthood in Ohio. This law strips funding that helps Planned Parenthood provide 70,000 free STD and HIV tests, cancer screenings, domestic violence education through the Violence Against Women Act, and Planned Parenthood’s Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies program to reduce infant mortality. The Court’s decision will allow the law to take effect.

“Kasich has passed 17 restrictions in Ohio, shuttering nearly half the abortion providers in his state. He’s about to slash Ohio programs that prevent infant mortality, domestic violence, and the spread of HIV, all to help a vindictive campaign against Planned Parenthood and reproductive health providers.”

what the actual fu*k?

[hibbing]

23. ahhh yes, the "economic anxiety" thing kind of again n/t

[niyad]

25. FUCK that woman- hating gestational slaver, who signed the insane "Dismemberment

Abortion Ban", outlawing dilation and evacuation procedures into law. The last time somebidy referred to him as a "moderate" or "at least semi-sane" puke, I ran down a list of his less-than- moderate choices.

[spanone]

28. They announced the other day that he is an msnbc talking head now.

Think it was Monday

[Marthe48]

31. Thanks for the warning

I wouldn't watch him get tar and feathered.

[Marthe48]

35. msnbc is getting unwatchable

with all of the talking heads from the right. None of the people who helped pull my country down to where it is, has nothing to say that I want to hear. Surely there are suitable people who from the left who could discuss politics on national tv.

Is kasuck a contributor or did he get a time slot?

[dem4decades]

33. Thanks for the update, the TV will go off as soon as I see him.

[jcgoldie]

37. He's an asshole

Yesterday he blamed democrats for Kevin McCarthy becoming speaker because they didn't reach across the aisle to vote with "centrist republicans." Fuck him. Anytime he hasn't looked like a complete asshole its because he's being compared to some idiot MAGA.

[CousinIT]

39. That was part of the Ari Melber interview that pissed me off yesterday.

UGH. I have NO use for Kasich.

[CousinIT]

38. Ari Melber had him on yesterday. He UNNERVED me whining about how MAGAts are...

...so mistreated and that we *shouldn't* call them "crazy"

WHY THE HELL NOT! They are freaking INSANE!

And STUPID.

Pfft.

[MOMFUDSKI]

40. Smarmy is

the only word that comes to mind looking at him. He is desperate and always has been. Will turn off MSNBC as soon as he appears.

[lame54]

41. Because they keep voting for neglecting disenfranchisers

[moonscape]

42. When I saw him yesterday, I told myself

to give him a chance. I did for about 3 minutes. Can’t believe he’s a contributor now. Does this mean they are required to have him on their shows? How much control dooes the host have as to who they’ll use from the pool of contributors?
