Watching yet another white man endlessly proffering his perspective on current affairs was not really enticing to me, to say the least.

Didn't watch it for long. Too booooooring. Probably because I'm just not that into watching political commentary on Saturday night. Too many other things to do on the weekend.

I was furious with him for 2 stands he took - saying that children and people in cages were NOTHING like Nazi concentration camps and for him ALWAYS saying that Elizabeth Warren could NEVER win against Trump.

What an arrogant, know it all asshat
Buh bye....

Not interested in watching a know-it-all and a bunch of his friends with no inside information but plenty of opinions sitting around talking on Saturday night. If that's what I wanted to hear, I can just toddle down to the local sports bar. And I never do that.
