Never straight forward, goes off in the weeds and the question never gets answered, just as the one by Reid didn't and it was a very simple question. And Rachel is no better. Where's Nicole, she had to pull those two back from their acrobatics and set them straight twice last night.
Yes I know, lots of fans from both here but I have now stopped listening to them.

Kornacki is killin' it, as always.
I think they're all doing well frankly.

(25,428 posts)There are alternatives. I really don't understand why people continue to watch something that clearly annoys them.

(1,750 posts)Five hours ago the answer, or answers, or lack of an answer would have generated a response with something akin to an answer. After much more time has passed and we are closer to a possibility of a definite response then maybe a straight answer is around the corner.The last time that question was asked the general consensus was yes but. Now the question is asked here and now I can state that more information might be forthcoming in an hour. But since you're sitting there waiting for a response I will say......hang on, I gotta change my pants.

(2,584 posts)I like him, he cracks me up as he tries to keep up
and bounces around and hits the wrong buttons. I find it
quite entertaining. The guy is giving it his best after 3 days,
I give him a break.

I feel bad for him in a way.
Spend the $$$ on a better interface MSNBC! Steve deserves it!!

(4,459 posts)... narrative is better this time than 2016. And also better than 2018 (remember the 18 blue wave was looking like a dud election night). I think many Dems got a bad taste in their mouth about him because he wasnt delivering good news. I never cared much for him either, but hes doing a pretty good job this time.
Hes not really supposed to opine about what might happen next anyway. Hes a statistics guy.

Went back to the calmer John King for now.

(3,030 posts)it certainly looked as if ALL the mail-in totals coming in favor Biden. What else was he supposed to say?

(4,544 posts)Thats what stat geeks do.
They dont need him for simple reporting of totals. Websites can do that. He provides insight and walks us thru the reasons behind the numbers.
Karma13612
(4,544 posts)He is a total math and stats geek and completely unpretentious. Some things he knows he cant answer and he has to be careful how he structures his answers. He gets marching orders from NBC Im sure.
You can tell he wants to call PA for Biden tonight.
John King irritates me with his nearly comatose style and ever notice he doesnt actually pronounce some words completely? Drives me bat*t crazy. Add Rick Santorum to the mix and Im ready to ruin my wide-screen TV with a champagne glass.
MSNBC all the way for me and hubby.
