Chuck Todd on Trump: The president was pretty soft

[egbertowillies]

Words matter. Much of how the president was talked about before the 2016 election gave an incompetent man with the personality and intellect of a child the presidency.

1. I think Chuck Todd is mostly a hopeless tool, but using the word "soft"

was very competent journalism for a change. "Soft" should be used to describe everything Trump does. It's accurate and it will also bug the hell out of him.

3. I thought it was a physical description. nt

4. That, too.

He probably has the physical consistency of a garbage bag full of pudding.

6. we've got to stop with the kudos to Chuck Todd

and the rest of the "both sides do it" pundits when they say something that is fact and not bullshit and follow it up with receipts...

5. The importance of the repetition of an idea...

We (Dems) are getting better at this all the time, after years of not being very good at it. Nicole Wallace and her team (Phil Rucker, especially) do it too and I think Steve Schmidt is a good illustration of how to take it to the next level.

I appreciate how this technique is emphasized in the commentary.

8. The two you mentioned are republicans

Ok so they switched due to trump. How do we know they won’t switch back when trump’s out.

7. well, the worst is soft-brained--

and hard-hearted.

[DTomlinson]

10. Amen to that.

9. If by "soft" he means "weak" and "pathetic" and "unfit" then yes, yes he is.

12. F#*k chuck Todd

He has NEVER asked a repuke if they’re too far to the right. His both side roam and soft approach to the deplorable actions by the right only enables them

[abqtommy]

13. The only thing that gave tRUMP the pRESIDENCY in 2016 was the ratfucking. He lost the election,

remember? The U.S. MSM was and remains a crucial part of the ratfucking...
