Daily Beast Editor Wonders Whether Cruz Has ‘Abandoned His Senses’

Todd to Hillary on E-Mails: ‘Can You Reassure’ Dems It Won’t 'Blow Up'
Just as he did on January 24's Meet the Press, MSNBC Presidential Candidates Debate co-moderator Chuck Todd chose to ask Hillary Clinton about her e-mail scandal not in terms of substance or reporting concerning new details about this but instead through a lazy, political lense as if he’s speaking on behalf of Democratic voters.

Maddow Wonders to Hillary If She’s ‘Too Far to the Right’ for Dems
MSNBC host and Thursday’s Presidential Candidates Debate co-moderator Rachel Maddow wondered aloud to Hillary Clinton whether some of the positions she’s held at various points warrant concern for the Democratic Party that she’s “too far to the right...to be the party's standard bearer” in the 2016 general election.
