Corey's doing what they hired him for. It sure wasn't to talk positive about Hillary.

...he works for both. CNN wanted a Trump person on staff. He's hired to slant their point-of-view toward Trump. They hope Corey brings in viewers and dollars.

I'm sure there are others.

Fox has Joe Trippy, but he's not an ideologue and has ideas which were not cooked up in the DNC.

plus, he has absolutely no credibility, as don lemon, pretty much has demonstrated, to his face, both as he introduced him, then badgered him relentlessly when he wouldn't answer an uncomfortable question

Fair enough. But such a statement and Lewandowski's constant, often blind and hilarious, support for Trump, should bottom out his credibility with all but the kool-aide drinkers.



On edit:

Why would CNN hire political operatives when they would be more than willing to spew their nonsense on their own dime (or on the dime of a think tank, or . . . you name it.)Just because everyone does it is not a good argument.

They have a Latino Republican on who actually thinks for herself.
