I absolutely can't stand Kornacki

[lapfog_1]

and his wild gesticulations... he looks like a puppet in a Punch and Judy show where the puppeteer has had a bit too much of the festival beer.

And he is always telling us how dark things look for Democrats. Always.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Me either. He always seems to be hyped up on Red Bull

with a soupçon of meth. And his political biases always seem to come out while he's having one of his episodes.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. I totally agree.

Plus he is always manic like he is hopped up on something.
I googled him and learned that he is openly gay.
A log cabin republican type. Sad.

3. I mean

it's looking pretty freaking dark right now.

We aren't likely to win the Senate this time around, and unless we can solve the fracture in our party, Trump's going to win again in 2020.

Nothing lasts forever and the pendulum swings but right now, it's a very powerful last gasp of old white people.

[murielm99]

6. I see no fracture in our party.

I am out here on the ground working. There are many new grassroots organizations. They are growing and learning about practical politics. They are canvassing and learning how to work with central committees. They are registering people to vote and running for office themselves.

Even if we do not win everything we want in November, we will make gains. Stop pearl clutching and GOTV.

[wasupaloopa]

8. Geez I wish you could lay off the old white people crap. I am an an old white person. I have worked

for progressive causes all my life. Try to narrow the population you want to slander, be more specific.

[lapfog_1]

10. me too.

old white straight male... sometimes I feel like there are people here that want me to be a republican.

Not going to happen.

[leftynyc]

14. I'm a straight white femail

in my late 50s and have been called a republican many times. Fuck em, I've been fighting for progressive causes for longer than many of them have been alive.

[lapfog_1]

17. I defended nixon when I was in first year of high school

and that was the last time I ever thought anything good about a republican.

I was young and my family were all republicans.

[leftynyc]

23. I had a congressman who

was a republican - this was when I first moved to the county just north of the city I've lived in for 26 years. He was pro choice, pro environment, pro gun control. I really didn't have a problem with him and voted for him (he was very popular and usually ran unopposed) until he retired and Nita Lowey has gotten my vote since then.

[Hekate]

32. Plus about a thousand

[qazplm135]

45. ok

#notalloldwhitepeople (just the majority of them)

[wasupaloopa]

46. Not true

[qazplm135]

47. yes true

like objectively, statistically true. Older white people over 65.

ALL people over 65 voted for Trump 53-45 over Hillary.

I'm guessing it's not too much of a limb to assume:

1. A majority of voters over 65 are White
2. A LARGE majority of minority voters over 65 didn't vote for Trump
3. Thus, the margin of strictly White voters over 65 was probably significantly larger (at least double digits, if not 15+ percent).

So, tell me where my numbers or assumptions are off please.

[redstatebluegirl]

12. Could you cool it with the "old white people" nonsense.

When I showed up to canvass before our primary it was all "old white people" doing the work. You won't win an election pushing us to the curb.

[Cosmocat]

21. Yeah

it is ...

Hate that scumbags like Kornacki and Toobin was so joyous about it, but they aren't wrong.

[lapucelle]

31. I don't think Toobin was joyful about what's going to happen to the Supreme Court. N/T

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. I'm an old white person and I've been a raving liberal since the Nixon days.

And I've been protesting this kind of shit since Vietnam. So lay off the old people. All the recent demonstrations, marches and other progressive gatherings I've been to in the last few years have been heavily populated by us old people while the kids seem to be elsewhere.

[MontanaMama]

4. Can't/won't give Kornacki or

Chuckie Todd a moment of my time. Starting to feel the same about Katy Tur too.

[redstateblues]

18. I was besieged for saying that about Tur the other day

It’s whichever way the wind blows for her

[MontanaMama]

27. +1

No besieging from me.

[wasupaloopa]

5. He always roots for the worse for Dems then is shocked that a Dem flips a seat or two.

[brush]

7. Agreed. He always takes a little too much glee in Dem defeats.

IMO he's a closet repug.

[Raine1967]

9. I had to change the station just now.

I listen via TuneIn radio and even without his gesticulations I could not listen to his doom and gloom.

I think we all know how troublesome this is, I just don't need to be listening to someone who wants to make us ull feel even worse --

That's not news.

Turned on my local radio news station. I'm in the DC region and sometimes I find the coverage a little less hyperbolic and more in tune with the actual reality on the ground.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. XM sure works for me.

Loved old Tweety burning his ass yesterday. What a Educational treat to see.

[redstateblues]

35. Details?

[Wellstone ruled]

36. Tweety gave the kid a lesson in Political History

as well as excepted Rules and norms.

[radius777]

43. Kornacki is a good guy, I think Tweety unfairly attacked him

in a way that was inappopriate, even for the combative Tweety, who I generally like.

Kornacki is the typical both siderist journalist like Todd, Turr, Hunt - he was just stating the reality that Dems lack the votes in the Senate, especially with DINOs like Manchin and Heitkamp likely to vote for any nominee Trump puts up.

Kornacki was simply asking Tweety what mechanism could Dems use, and Tweety lost his shit, and even attacked that other guy who was a SCOTUS expert, who knows what he's talking about.

[redstateblues]

13. He's the worst - yesterday it was either him or Wolf. TV off

[oberliner]

24. Relatable

Can't stand either of those two.

MSNBC favorites are Rachel Maddow and Stephanie Ruhle.

CNN favorites are Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper (though I don't love some of their RW shill guests).

[Hawaii Hiker]

15. SK must have a personality disorder

He is devoid of a personality, seems robotic...Never cared for him..

[lapfog_1]

19. He really tries too hard to make something "dramatic"

always going to his giant surface tablet and zooming in or out and drawing circles and then more arm waving and hand gestures...

Does anyone really find this either entertaining or informative?

[NurseJackie]

16. He's exhausting.

I absolutely can't stand Kornacki
and his wild gesticulation

He's exhausting. I also can't stand politicians who over-gesticulate. It may be great for comic celebrity impersonators... but it's exceedingly distracting. (It's like when someone gets a spit ball on their lips or in the corner of their mouth... you can't hear what they're saying because the spitball is such a gross distraction.)

[world wide wally]

20. He's just a Republican tool.

And What he doesn'tt know is that Republicans hate him too.

[Control-Z]

25. I was going to write a similar post.

Nothing as descriptive. But of the same sentiment. We're suffering the worst week since November 2016 and we get Kornacki? Ugh.

[samnsara]

26. i like him.. hes hyper wonky.

[Pachamama]

28. He is an irritating moron

I turn off MSNBC when he is on...

Tweety was ready to punch him yesterday

[COLGATE4]

29. K&R. I cannot abide the man.

He acts as if suffering from St. Vitus Dance, gesticulating and preening for the camera while unable to contain his glee if reporting news that is presumably bad news for Dems. And, for the love of Dog, I don't know how much MSNBC pays him but one would think that he surely ought to be able to afford another pair of pants!

[SummerSnow]

30. Eww.... and every show those beige pants.

[radius777]

44. Khakis are a "uniform" for men of the younger gens

Khakis and Dockers are comfortable and basically have replaced 'dress pants' as the pants of choice in the workplace for most men of the younger generations.

[OnDoutside]

34. I agree, but after the last 24 hours, it doesn't look that bright !

[trueblue2007]

37. i don't like him either. i use the mute button now.

[Sneederbunk]

38. Who makes one watch him?

[kstewart33]

39. I can't watch the guy.

MSNBC seems to think his schtick is cute, but IMHO, he's unwatchable. On election/primary nights, I switch to CNN and watch John King work the maps. He's low key and provides more detailed and insightful information.

Someone tell Steve to calm down.

[dajoki]

40. I can't stand him either n/t

[Meowmee]

41. We don't

Like him either. I hate the way most people on the news screech all the time etc. Most of the time I turn the sound off or lower it a lot if it’s on.

[LiberalFighter]

42. He came on to fill in for someone today.

I went with shows I have recorded.
