Chuck Todd allowed Donald Trump to call in for months to boost his ratings so he didn’t suffer the same fate as that loser David Gregory. Sad!

“he can’t call in, but if he did, it’s not MY job to say if he should or not, or whether that statement is true or false, or this one, either,” he said with a smile, or a grimace. It’s not my job to distinguish smiles and grimaces.

“Meet The Press” moderator Chuck Todd told the Times on Friday that the frontrunner will have to appear in-person."
Translation: Chuck Todd demands that Trump increase his ratings for him since nobody cares to listen to John McCain ramble on anymore. They want Sparks! Lightning! RATINGS!
Weep for the 4th Estate. Edward R. Murrow is spinning furiously in his grave.

And he is basically begging Trump to attack him to give him another little boost in ratings over this. After said attack, he will agree to again let Trump just phone it in.

To be perfectly honest, having Trump there wouldn’t make much difference. Its not like Todd is ever going to make anyone on the right side of the aisle actually squirm.

Todd is why over his head on MtP, he was out of his league even before, just having his own show. He is a marginal poll watcher that has a propensity to kiss up to those over him. Its the basis of his career, and its how he does interviews.

A candidate we’re not voting for won’t be allowed to do call-in interviews to a show we don’t watch.

TPM, got anything relevant to report?

Remember when before the demise of Russert he was a statistician who got 1 minute a few times a week ?
More commensurate with his abilities and even then it was a stretch.

Exactly. His “analysis” always consisted of reciting some data point to confirm the “conventional wisdom” of those above him. Never any in depth look at the numbers to raise questions or point towards larger trends.

Todd is a prototypical lackey, just looking for the right villain to attach himself.

When Russert died, i thought to myself, “Oh, they’ll never pick Toad”, but then I thought that about Shrub too.
