Kellyanne Conway Makes Mincemeat of Mike Barnicle Over Confirmation Process
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/03/2017 7:05:09 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Mike Barnicle learned a lesson the hard way this morning: expect to be embarrassed if you challenge Kellyanne Conway without having all your ducks in a row. On Morning Joe, the subject was the Trump plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. Barnicle snidely asked Conway “now, do you or do you not have a replacement plan ready to go, ramped up, ready to go, say tomorrow?” When Conway pointed out that there wasn’t a confirmed HHS Secretary in place and that she hoped that the Senate Democrats would cooperate on timely and fair hearings, Barnicle sarcastically responded: “so you’re asking the Democrats to be as fair as the Republicans were” at the beginning of the Obama administration?

Conway pounced. Interjecting “they were very fair,” Conway had at her fingertips the fact that President Obama had seven of his cabinet nominees confirmed on the day he was inaugurated in 2009, and five more within the week. She also cited chapter and verse on the numerous cabinet appointees that were promptly confirmed at the beginning of George W’s administration. It was a bravura performance, and Barnicle was heard no more on the subject.

Is Mike Barnicle still alive?

He must be, like, 130 by now.

He could prepare for a year and still wouldn’t stand a chance. She’s the real deal!

I’m so sick of these pseudo liberal intellectuals wearing those hipster glasses to make them look smart. Hell Joe Scarborough is also one of these dweebs along with the bald douchebag trying to “gotcha” Kellyanne.

He’d never prepare for a year. He’s a lazy guy.

Barnicle learned an important lesson: “Never get in a battle of wits with someone smarter than you are!”

Barnacle, that smarmy liberal plagiarist?

Absolutely boffo performance. Barnicle shot from the hip and Conway took his head off. Isn’t it great to have people on our side who won’t lay down for this kind of stuff from the media?

O/T, but female guests on Morning Joe should demand immediate cessation of "side shots". Very unflattering (to them), to say the least.

Maria's show on Fox Business does it right: tastefully dressed, and the hosts, whether it be Dagen or Maria, don't make it all about themselves, as opposed to Scarborough the Bloviator.

They are not relevant any more.

Almost not even a fair fight. Barnicle the plagiarist has to wait for someone else to write an answer and Kellyanne is killing him in real time. It almost takes the honor from this victory - almost - :-)

Liberal: I believe A to be true.
Conservative: Well, it isn't. Here is rock-solid proof that your assumption is incorrect.

Liberal: I believe B to be true.
Conservative: Well, it isn't. Here is rock-solid proof that your assumption is incorrect.

Liberal: I believe C to be true.
Conservative: Well, it isn't. Here is rock-solid proof that your assumption is incorrect.

Liberal takeaway -- "I'm still right about everything. Because I am soooooo much smarter than those stupid Conservatives."
