He has no opinion? Chris Matthews just gave a forceful rant on this and then asked Steve if he agreed and Steve said "hard to argue with that"...WTF?

Useless...except for pressing things on the magic electoral map...

She needs to be in the daytime lineup to offset the other non-journalists. She's held his feet to the fire before. He is one of the worst ones. Wind him up and he goes on forever with that annoying voice. Kornacki needs to go. He was better on Sunday's during the bridgegate scandal with Chris Christy. Thinking he's the one that broke the case.

Then why on God's green earth, do they allow him to interview anybody? Shame on him for being so content to be so shitty at his job. I'd have a guilty conscience. I guess he's another stellar example of The Peter Principle, and we are all the poorer for it.

Will work any shift to cover for folks on vacation.
Mika and Joe said one day that Steve is the nicest guy on staff and like everybody's little brother.
Probably works cheap too.
