Lawrence O'Donnell slams faux Progressive Donny Deutsch: 'Pure guesswork' 'zero value'

It was about time someone took Donny Deutsch off of his unearned high horse in attempting to determine who should represent the Democratic party. He believes that claiming Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders cannot beat Donald Trump makes it so. He is like a push poller. O’Donnell called him out and in the process got him very frazzled.

I'm not supporting Biden at this point, but I do call out these kind of tactics. They are beneath you.

So far I believe those calling Medicare for All a policy that will take away private insurance from millions in a complete out of context manner are doing just that. I am sure you are a real Progressive. We cannot allow them to use Biden and others to remove our true Democratic & Progressive bona fides.

7. I said RW Memes. I said YOUR tactics were not defensible. I did NOT say what you claim.

It isn't whether or not you are progressive. I don't doubt that you are. But, using RW memes to go after a Democratic candidate you oppose is the issue.

He has substantially less depth than the bothsider in chief... Chuck Todd. And that's not a complement for the toad.
