I finally quit listening to Hugh after one too many of his delegate predictions - and magically, Donald Trump never got to 1,237 in all of Hugh’s calculations that he daily pulled out of his *something or other.*
Hack is an understatement. He is one of those guys who seems to think that yammering on day after day about some predicted event is going to make it happen, and reality be damned. Maybe he thinks he is mesmerizing and hypnotizing the public at large to make them do what he says (”You are getting very sleepy ....”).
