Don't downtalk it! We have to be able to vent and show our concern in all its useless dimensions, according to what I've read lately!

He loves the math and gets really excited over the maps, just like me. Also great to have more LGBT representation in the news media.

When he first came on the scene years ago, he used to always wear a bow tie. Between his glasses and his nerdy bow tie he reminded me of the Muppet's character "Scooter," so that's what I started calling him.

The bow tie is long gone, but he will always be nerdy little "Scooter" to me.

but he's been real annoying this election cycle. look at this state, look at that state, what happens if hillary wins this state but trump wins that state, here's how all the numbers add up, excitement excitement panic panic, etc.

any toss up state he gives to trump even if hillary has at least a slim average lead in them, because i guess it wouldn't be much of a horserace if he did it the other way around and he couldn't do his freakout bits.

NBC News does that. He always says that HRC has 272 electoral votes, and it's a major stretch to say that Trump would win all of the toss-ups. If there's an issue take it up with the network who creates the map -- not Kornacki who reports based on it.

with his charts and stats, all the time. However, he is one of us and I would rather him take up airtime than someone like Luke Russert.

To see the completely random scenarios he comes up with to try to get trump to 270. I will give him points for creative fiction.
