lots of cope
Chuck...Chuck.... why can you not stop interrupting and talking over your guests?
Biden needs to pick a younger Democrat and get behind them. because both Biden and Trump are old. that's all there is to it. they're old
Double the size of the House?? Double the trouble and chaos! Are you for real, Chuck? Look at what we're dealing with right now...18 days of total dysfunction. Think again, man!
Chuck, I know you're leaving meet the press, but I hope you'll continue with the Chuck Toddcast. I so enjoy it!
I'm a faithful MTP listener & have one request. Please, please stop running that annoying ad with Hoda & Jenna. It's beneath you.
I wonder if the reason Trump isn't slamming. Nikki is because she's a woman and he thinks she won't win anyway, whereas Ron DeSantes is a real threat.
is it true that the more people that run for president on the Republican side will actually help Trump get nominated as the primary?
so the man leaves his pregnant wife in the country where they threatened to rape his daughter. he leaves his pregnant wife behind while he escapes to America. how's that okay? so do we not worry about the pregnant wife left behind getting raped? wouldn't you think the husband ought to stay behind to ensure his entire family safety? so he leaves and he's safe and they aren't. That spells coward to me!
Biden is too old. he needs to step back and let another Democrat run in his place for next election. nobody's going to feel comfortable with somebody that old running the country. And let's face it physically, we're just not as sharp as we age. that's just part of life. I think there needs to be age caps on who can run for president.
dysfunction, chaos, & deceit with Santos not resigning.
Chuck should talk less, listen more.
Chuck....Chuck...Chuck.... You interrupt everyone. I don't get to hear everyone's answer to the previous question when you interrupt. thanks
how can covid be Biden's problem when you can't force people to get vaccinated. how can they be anti-vaxxers and blame him that covid is still around? that makes no sense. Just look how much hell would be raised if he forced everyone to get the vaccine. he'd be the worst SOB ever known to man. So he can't win.
Defund the crooked police.
Chuck.... please stop interrupting. Can't ask a question and then interrupt. Never find out the answer. thanks
Why are you not discussing Bloomberg's chances? I sure think he's a viable candidate competing for the same voters as Biden, Buttigieg and Klobushar.
nice interviews 👍
Go Nats? Really? I'm a Cards fan. But, seriously. Joe Walsh from Illinois is running against Trump. I honestly believe he could be the guy that stops Trump in the PRIMARIES! After he announced his candidacy, 3 states voted to not hold Republican primaries. Joe can take him down. Let's talk about that!
Hey Chuck, long time listener, first time commenter and this was too hard to find
