Imagining the damage he could do. It's unimaginable, yet he's pretty close to being the most powerful person in the world..

Upside is that he could ruin the Republican Party for a looong time.

Sensationalism brings viewers, more viewers means they can charge more for ads, charging more for ads means more profit.

If you want to understand TV, remember that the sole purpose of most TV shows is to get as many people as possible seeing their ads.

... since it is in Burlington, Vermont.

Honestly, because of the protesters outside and the Bernie heat -- this is an interesting show (Chris Hayes).
