Chuck Todd said something intelligent for once.

Katy Tur reported that Trump is going to Des Moines on Thursday and is expected to have a crowd of 5,000. She went on to say the Democratic candidates are getting 1,000 so what does that say about November? Todd shot back "Well, when they have one nominee they will get 5,000 people."

Katy is smarter than saying something silly like that.

1. Many of trump's "crowd" are paid attendees, so there's that..LOL. n/t

2. Plus all the 'camp followers.' It's irritating that they can't bring themselves to mention that.

3. I love Katy, so I am going to give her a pass, she has a new baby and I have to think she is not

sleeping all eight prescribed hours, and...her smile lights up the screen.

5. I love her too, she is very pretty. Her's is the only news

show in the daytime, I try to watch these days.(aside from MJ)

6. She sounded like Andrea Mitchell badmouthing Hillary

to defeat Democrats in 2016. You may not have heard her because it happened in the GE, after she was taken off following Trump around and assigned to sub for conservative afternoon hosts like Mitchell and Todd. I told my husband the overdone virulence in her voice when she spoke of Hillary sounded like she was still auditioning, to show top management she'd come through for them.

I don't watch her show. But an implication against Democrats that has to be corrected by a newly somewhat-come-to-Jesus conservative Check Todd sounds like what I believe MSNBC hired her for. Listen for other tilts of coverage against Democrats and see if you don't find them.

4. It's the same BS when they report the fundraising figures.

Add up all the Ds and they far outstrip tRump, but the media doesn’t report it that way.

7. Trump won Iowa in 2016. And we're not campaigning based on who will get Iowa in November. (n/t)

8. The people who show up for Trump rallies are apparently cultists, and cultists usually like to be

surrounded by other cultists. It helps assure them that they're right.

Supporters who aren't cultists aren't likely to feel as much need to be in a mob of people who think exactly like they do and are very noisy about it.

9. Couldn't believe how illogical Tur's comment was.

The Dems have been getting 100- 5,000 at their events and rallies for MONTHS in Iowa.
Besides, votes count, not crowd size.

[Cha]

10. That was a Stupid Stupid question from Tur.

[UniteFightBack]

11. It's also a fucking cult and there is a large faction of these weirdos following him around! nt
