What'd she do, present facts so he could argue she was lying? That seems to be a favorite thing of his to do.

Wouldn't answer her questions and still maintains that Sanders can win the GE because of polls that actually show Hillary winning as well. He never addresses that Sanders has not been attacked, yet, by the repug machine.

I'm amazed they still let him represent them. Do they not realize how bad he is for a spokesperson? He comes off as so bitter and unlikeable.

Thanks for the information, though. Good reporters are calling people on innuendo and smears.

She has common sense and a wonderful manner about her. She doesn't show any attitude--is always plain spoken and forthright while maintaining a pleasant demeanor.

Bernie does better than HRC in a match-up against trump ...and she showed the polling indicateso a 1 point difference. Then, he mentioned Bernie does far better HRC against kasich ... and she asked, "do you really think kasich will get the nomination? "

Joy annihilates Jeff Weaver about BS's votes on guns 5:26 of the way into the video.

What a sleazy double talker he is.

As a Black Democrat, I've been upset by the way the media and the Sanders campaign has handled the entire crime bill. There are no clean hands and it should be a much more nuanced debate rather than a club used to bludgeon (hypocritically as Joy pointed out) the first lady at the time in order to bolster Sanders pitiful African American outreach efforts.

The fact that Weaver attempted to bring up Super Predators with glee also infuriated me. You can't claim offense to a word and then use it all willy nilly when you want to score points. And don't even get me started on the fact that he used it as a cheap comeback when challenged by a black woman.

whenever she can work it into the conversation. She is really good at it and it cracks me up every time.

As I have said since the day she first arrived at MSNBC, she is the smartest person on TV.

They need to give her her own show again. Replace smarmy Hayes with her. THAT was what a journalist should be doing!
