Here was Andrea Mitchell's criticism just a moment ago of Hillary. Her economic solutions

[still_one]

are detailed, and Trump's are not.

The argument being, people don't want details

Doesn't say much for Andrea Mitchell's view of the American public

[Moostache]

1. WTF? Details are negative???

Stop the damn globe...I want off.

[unitedwethrive]

2. I have never understood why she is so 'revered'

Her political analysis usually just scratches the surface, and she is so easily distracted by those she interviews.

[still_one]

7. The only people who would not want details would be those that are so partisan they would

never vote for a Democrat regardless.

I agree with you, her political analysis are really shallow

[Cha]

3. Well isn't she a shallow person.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. Mrs. Greenspan's bad ideas run deep

And often match her hsbands very bad ideas.

[still_one]

17. She is her own person, with her own set of idiocies. Her husband has his own

set of idiocies

[still_one]

14. Perhaps she should consider an entertainment tonight type show. She was on the

Clinton/Kaine bus when she gave the report.

If she keeps this up, they may throw her off the bus, and she will hitch hike her way back

[riversedge]

4. Trumps fans do not want the details is probably closer to the truth.

[still_one]

12. That nails it

[Andy823]

34. Exactly.

Trump has gained control of those who don't care about details or facts. He has pushed their buttons on the racial issues, immigration, and telling them all kinds of BS about how he will "fix" things, but he never gives details and they never ask. It's their hate he has been able to use for his own benefit. As long as his "base" consists of KKK, racists, tea party, and religious nuts, he never has to give any details.

Problem Andrea has is that only a majority republicans don't care about the details and the facts, not Democrats, and not most independents. Hell a lot of republicans won't be voting for him because they want more details and facts, not just the old "I can fix it" you just have to wait and see crap.

37. +1,, its like MSNBC can't stop conflating Benedict Donald's fans and regular humans

[lapucelle]

5. Andrea is part of the Washington social upper-crust set.

They've hated the Clintons since the 90's when the couple from Arkansas occupying the White House didn't bow and scrape sufficiently.

[DURHAM D]

11. Amen.

Andrea still gets her talking points from Sally Quinn.

[lapucelle]

25. That set also feels snubbed by the Obamas who wanted nothing to do with their nonsense, but

they shy away from overt hostility about the current residents of the White House because they're afraid it would look racist. That's why Maureen Dowd refers to Obama as the Diffident Debutante. Poor MoDo expected the Obamas to fawn. Don't they know who she is?

[Hortensis]

35. This series of comments!

Such small, petty people, and I do believe that. An especially overachieving pig in a penthouse will still be a pig.

[stopbush]

6. Right up there with Tweety judging the success of a convention

by the balloon drop.

Maybe it's impossible to come up with intelligent things to say in our 24/7 newscycle.

[still_one]

10. well, we did have more balloons

[apcalc]

8. Jeeeeeeeeez

What a disappointment....details matter....

[DURHAM D]

13. She could spend an hour at home and let

her husband explain it to her in simple terms.

[The_Casual_Observer]

15. She is used to the vague mystical bullshit that Greenspan used to spout.

[NurseJackie]

16. Is she using lead-based make-up? It's affecting her ability to think clearly.

[BlueMTexpat]

18. I don't listen to a word

she says any more. If she is on a panel or program, I turn to another network.

I lost all respect for her years ago and have neither seen nor heard anything from/about her in 2016 to change my mind.

[still_one]

20. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[Jim__]

19. Andrea Mitchell is a fucking idiot.

[DemonGoddess]

21. I LIKE those details

so does anyone else with even a quarter of a brain!

[still_one]

24. I'm not sure. Maybe "real" Americans don't want details

[Me.]

22. Andrea & Her Pal Ruth Marcus

Stick the knife into both Hillary and Obama every chance they get.

[still_one]

23. I'll have to google Ruth Marcus.

I'm back, and you are right, she is totally unfair and offbase

[awake]

26. Andrea like most high payed tv news people are more concerned about there own taxes going up

Than reporting the truth.

[greymattermom]

27. Details are great and the best answer

is to set up a Hillary calculator on her website. You enter your state, approximate income, amount of student loan debt, etc. and out comes your answer. If you make less that $15 an hour, it automatically enters $15. Then it links to specific ideas about how to improve the economy in your state or region. Make the details personal.

[Buzz cook]

28. That is "High Broderism" in action.

Complain that politicians are clueless then when they get into specifics yawn and call them boring.

Andrea Mitchell is an acolyte of Broderism in good standing. She has pearl clutching and vapid analysis down to an art.

[treestar]

29. that's insane!

anti-intellectuals would like Trump, that would figure. He's got zero in intellect.

[workinclasszero]

30. She's been watching to much Fox and Friends it seems

[uponit7771]

38. +1, they continue to conflate tRump supporters and regular humans

[Jamaal510]

31. It never hurts

for HC to have detailed solutions, but there are plenty of voters out there who couldn't care less about the specifics and instead are only interested in red meat. Those are people who would never vote for her, anyway.

[helpisontheway]

32. She is probably right. The dumb @ss people

that vote for Trump probably do not want details. They want soundbites.

[0rganism]

33. watch the media squirm, trying to turn this into a horse race

their attempts will become increasingly transparent and pathetic as tRump further marginalizes himself and the wingnut republican base from the electoral center

[GeorgeGist]

36. Stupid people can't handle details.

[mcar]

39. Front page story on WaPo says the same thing

[baldguy]

40. And if Clinton's plans had no details, the corporatist media would criticize for lack of detail.

It's not the plans they have issues with, it's the candidate.

Yet Hillary has a 10-15% lead in spite of the best efforts of the VRWC and their minions in the press.
