‘He’s my middle finger to you,’ NBC’s Chuck Todd recalls Trump voters explaining their 2016 vote
The Washington Times ^ | March 16, 2017 | Ken Shepherd

Many Donald Trump voters cast their votes for the president because he’s “authentically inauthentic” and serves as a “middle finger” to the mainstream news media, according to NBC’s Chuck Todd.

The “Meet the Press” host made those remarks during a recent interview of former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, who found herself in the national spotlight in 2013 for her efforts filibustering a bill to regulate the Lone Star State’s abortion clinics.

Ms. Davis suggested to Mr. Todd that both her failed 2014 gubernatorial run and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential loss can be chalked up to both women failing to trust their instincts about reaching out to voters and instead relying too much on paid strategists and numbers-crunching data analysts....

LOL.

Well, I’m actually pleased that these liberals have no clue why they lost. Since they have no clue, I’m hopeful they won’t be able to make changes in future elections.

Lots of ironies can be found. These liberals think they are smarter than everybody else. They think they are more enlightened, more knowledgeable. They often do have advanced degrees from Ivy League or other “prestige” universities, however, such degrees do not confer the true knowledge they think they have.

Did strategists tell Wendy to make a laughing stock out of herself with the abortion filibuster?

We already know Hillary’s “instincts” were to get personally rich using their power in the government

Wendy, you ignorant meathead. Your loss and hillary’s loss were because of who you are and what you stand for.

I thought Obama was a giant F U to the constitution, our founding fathers, our military past and present, and all who work and contribute to this country and play by the rules.

Trump’s election is the Great Comupance. Lots of asses kicked and lots more will be kicked before he is through.

Abortion Barbie never stood a chance in Texas. That heifer was all one note. Glad that cow is out of my area as well.

"women failing to trust their instincts"
,br> rofl rofl rofl.... like Shrillary ever had any political "instincts" worth trusting!! SHe is a wooden, inauthentic, and inept as any politician alive. I'm sure the campaign staff had to SAVE her from her instincts many times. If she'd "trusted her instincts" more she'd have been shrieking and ranting even more often, and millions more voters would have tuned her out.

I’ve been giving the middle finger to the media long before Trump ran for office.

Todd: "I know he sort of fakes his wealth."

Sure, Chuck. Just like that fake 737 he rode around in with 'Trump' painted on each side.
