(37,364 posts)Judd Gregg was refusing to acknowledge very accurate statistics and analysis that Chris was presenting. Gregg was being a jerk in the same way that Zell Miller was when he went crazy on Chris Matthews one election season. Gregg was out of line and nasty. It was uncalled for. Hayes conducted himself well, given Gregg's behavior.

(1,835 posts)But Gregg was the one who was wrong. There is a precipitous drop in uninsured in the U.S. since ACA was enacted.
Even Wall Street fired this clown. What does that tell you?

(135,425 posts)1. You didn't quite process the arc of the segment..?
2. You're cheering for the wrong team....?

(533 posts)I tend to think stupid anyone who uses three exclamation points.
OMG I just saw a comet destroy South America!!! is the only time it would be appropriate.
Getting owned in a debate shouldn't garner a neither an 'OMG' nor an exclamation point, especially when the host did not in fact get owned.
The OP's post was so bad it was good.

I just did the trope of the grammar nazi post that itself was grammatically incorrect. Blush!

What a POS Gregg is. Condescending jerk!

(17,320 posts)he was using the English language as his weapon. Ultimately, when that segment is re-examined in detail, it will show that
Judd was simply blabbering like a mean child wrong information. Chris didn't do a good job of reining him in. It was truly a low
moment in news reporting.

(17,320 posts)Basically, neither person made a bit of sense. Afterwords, they showed charts that backed up Chris's assertions.
ladjf
(17,320 posts)a replay will show that Chris's numbers were correct and verifiable while Judd was shown to be a disingenuous bully.
This encounter will be replayed.
