Chuck Todd getting ripped apart on social media

It also seems, he's getting ripped apart by democrats.

A lesson for people like Chuck Todd, Louise Mensch, Claude "i have billboards and Im going to use them" Taylor,
Michael Moore.

Please dont say Bombshells are coming, arrests are coming, videos are coming, unless your'e 100% sure.

Otherwise you come across as two bit Psychic, predicting "There is going to be an earthquake in a month"

5. Todd never said that. He claimed that because the two month window to the election was upon us

His “gut” told him something might happen. He never claimed to have inside knowledge. I think the joke is on those tweeters that don’t seem to listen very closely.

He told us (what we wanted to hear) every night for weeks that KKKarl (or whoever, been so long) would be indicted in 2 weeks that never came. All according to his "sources."

When it never happened, he blew the cover on his "sources," who turned out to be lawyers NOT connected to the case, who had VAST EXPERIENCE with cases in front of OTHER grand juries (not *this* one), who had NO direct contact with actual lawyers or jurors (verboten) or anybody else with direct knowledge.

In other damned words, SHUSTER's "sources" were lawyers who were acting as *PUNDITS* spouting their damned opinions without any direct reporting knowledge of anything!1

12. Just Toad trying to be relative. Many people make predictions.

If they come true, you’re a genius. If they don’t, nobody remembers.

Hell, Jesus said that his second coming would occur and that people who were living as he spoke those words would witness his second coming. Never happened. But even though it never happened - and even though his totally wrong prediction is still printed in the Buy-bull - billions of people today believe Jesus is coming back. Why? Could it be that no one remembers predictions that don’t come true?
