Chuck Todd is an asshole. Why do I bother?

On his idiotic MTP Daily, he is asserting that both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are NOT ready for the debates--Clinton on style, Trump on substance." WTF? More fucking false equivalency.

I think he's just an empty shell of a person at this point, trying to make a buck and saying anything he can to appear relevant.

I sure don't, which is why I eschew every single Sunday morning program.

Yet, sure enough, week in and week out, I come here and see Democrats complaining about these shows and their overpaid-newsreader hosts.

His lack of style and substance holding him back from attracting the thing the industry insiders call viewers.

Waste of time. Their ratings are tiny and nobody really gives a shit what they think.

Turned it off before I even found out what the credit was for... There is no defending Trump for anything that he said last night...or any other time actually...

Saying it was a fucking tie...how stupid is this country??
