Toadie To Robbie Mook: "Hillary has put out detailed plans. Trump hasn't."

"Why hasn't her putting out details helped her more in this election?"

Mook gave a standard, "don't trust all these polls" answer.

Here's what he should have said:

"When is the last time that anyone in the media - including you, Chuck - has asked either Donald Trump or one of his many surrogates for details about any policy he is proposing? When have you or any other media person held Trump's feet to the fire and demanded real details about his proposals that go beyond him stringing together a meaningless word salad of superlatives like "great, incredible, wonderful, the best" etc? When was the last time you refused to accept one of Trump's standard not-an-answer dodges as an answer and demanded he answer the question by providing details?"

the election - considering he has NO audience to speak of..

I think msnbc should allow us to rate their wonks..in toady's case - wonkette..would love to see his performance poll ratings...

BTW - hey - where is Luke the Puke Russert? - Now that he doesn't have Boehner around...

that all polls are correct when she is down...say it is an outlier...I don't think so. She has turned a corner. When the story of this election is written...this will be the moment it all came together for Hillary. Madam President.
