Chuck Todd does not get it. Once he becomes the news in this manner he has failed as a journalist. A few days ago Alison Lundergan Grimes was interviewed by the Louisville Courier-Journal editorial board. They asked her whether she voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. She justifiably refused to answer.
The talking heads and pundits claimed she was not prepared for the question. The lack of sophistication of the traditional media is astounding. It was evident that she was prepared for the question and she intended not to answer it. It was evident that her team likely thought the downside was worse if she answered.
Chuck Todd in another case of irrational verbal diarrhea said that her answer "borders on disqualification." One wonders how not answering an inconsequential and silly question borders on disqualification yet he never said such on the various substantive lies and misstatements by Mitch McConnell (e.g, implying that Kynect is not Obamacare, etc.).
For anyone who had any doubts, in a subsequent debate, Alison Lundergan Grimes again refused to bite. She said she had a right to the privacy of the ballot box. Those talking heads and pundits who in unison thought she was unprepared realized it was a strategy, a strategy most thinking political observers saw right away.
those are gotcha questions she knows the republicans are trying to tie her and everyone else to Pres. whom they successfully defined him as a bad Pres. and the polls and media promote that as well IMO wrongly so how can you do as much for the people against incessant republican blocking and only 41% approve, the polls are either wrong or American has some of the most ungrateful people in the world.
they can't touch his record so who's zoomin' who?
