Chuck Todd does not intend to let Donald Trump slide away without answering questions on this weekend’s big Meet the Press showdown.
Despite his reputation for phoning-in interviews (perhaps literally?), Trump will sit down with Todd this Sunday morning in Iowa, opening himself up to all kinds of in-person confrontations. Mediaite readers may recall that Trump has a long history of name-calling when it comes to the NBC host, often referring to Todd as “sleepy eyes.”
Speaking with Sirius XM radio host Michael Smerconish on Friday, Todd said that he much prefers the in-person scenario because it helps prevent the interviewee from filibustering as easily as he could via telephone or satellite feed. Moreover, Todd said he plans to take on Trump much in the same way as one would take on Will Ferrell‘s Austin Powers character: By asking him a question multiple times, if needed to get a simple answer.
Listen below for the full interview below, via The Michael Smerconish Program, and check Mediaite on Sunday for full coverage of Todd’s interview:
Just have a few softball questions he asked Dems and ask why he doesn’t ask the people in power on the Dems side tough questions?
Tell him he is a partisan bias scum bag
Chuck’s limo to the studio that day will be a ride to the office on the NBC short bus.
Best response to that is to ask the host if he is so simple minded he can’t understand the response.
Just turn it back on the nitwit.
You asked. I answered. It’s not my problem if you can’t grasp what I’m telling you. You’re viewers will.
He will ask the same question multiple times because that is the only way he can retain the answer.
Chuck better be careful. Trump might get him mad too with blood coming out of HIS
wherever.
Trump should only agree to a live interview. No editing.
The media’s problem is that Trump DOES answer questions, but THEY don’t like his answers.
Solution? Pretend he never said his answers.
Then escalate their denial and accuse him of not responding.
Media people have no shame. They’re perfect psychopaths.
F Chuck: -”Trump, explain why you hate immigrants..”
“-Mrs. Clinton, what’s your ideal vacation?”
Chuck Todd: I Will Ask Trump Questions Multiple Times Just to Get an AnswerThat won't work.
Forget multiple times. Just one tough question would be a minor miracle.
Chuck Todd looks like someone that enjoys a scrotum on his chin...You sure got a pretty mouth,UpChuck!!
F Chuck: -”Trump, explain why you hate immigrants..”
Trump will go immediately to an anchor to create the association he wants.
“Chuck, you’re in favor of Mexico sending their rapists and drug dealers over here? If you don’t hate that, you’re an idiot!”
“You asked. I answered. It’s not my problem if you can’t grasp what I’m telling you. You’re viewers will.”
Hope DDT does what your saying.
I’m already to send emails to his bosses. I am tired of this crap. Ann Landers wouldn’t approve of this behavior.
Chuckie Todd? Oooooo. DT better be on DefCon 2! Chuck is one of the biggest and finest there is!
Wait...
Chuck is one of the shortest and finest there is, except for Georgie Stepstoolaccus maybe.
Actually, why are these news guys, such as Mike Wallace’s unlikeable son, SO VERY SHORT? Is it a requirement for a male’s employment in TV news?
Todd has learned nothing from Fox's mistake. So, now he has announced that he is planning to treat Trump in some very special way because he shouldn't be the frontrunner?
Chuck Todd, the new cross-eyed political gunslinger, has arrived just in time to save our town from the bandito Trump!
I can’t wait to see the ‘democrat debates’ where it’s one softball after anther... and if the dem falters the moderator will step in to ‘help’... The old Candy Crowley move...
We are soooooooooo unimpressed...
“Todd said he plans to take on Trump much in the same way as one would take on Will Ferrell‘s Austin Powers character”
Makes me wonder: is it Todd, or the guy writing this piece, who has no clue who played Austin Powers?
Yep, now all these debate hostrs want to leverage their own careers at the expense of a fair debate.
I say hire the guy from the NH debate.
Groovy, baby.
Diamond Donald could just buy the network and fire him, or have him clean toilets
