One of the other co-hosts is Jeff Forbes of the lobbying firm Forbes-Tate.

Forbes has represented the NRA since 2009 and as of the last quarter of 2015 was still registered to lobby for the organization. On his lobbying disclosure, Forbes wrote that he was signed up to lobby for “Issues related to 2nd Amendment rights, regulation and gun control, and tax and appropriations related to same; issues related to corporate tax reform.” [Update at 4:41 p.m. ET: Jennifer Baker, director of public affairs for the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, emails us to say that “Jeff Forbes is no longer an NRA consultant.”]

During the 2013 push for universal background checks, Forbes was one of a phalanx of Democratic Party lobbyists employed by the NRA to kill that legislation.
Another co-host is Steve Elmendorf, who has lobbied for Goldman Sachs and the U.S.-Colombian Free Trade Agreement.

2. Gabrielle Giffords should be livid with Clinton over this betrayal.

And unless that bullet damaged more than we feared, I suspect that she already is seething.

6. She's drunk on the Kool-Aid.

Prefer a right wing female to a liberal man.

7. Shame on Giffords then.

4. You know how nothing seems to matter to Trump supporters?

These kinds of things just don't seem to matter to HRC supporters either. It seems like such a betrayal, and yet....
