There weren't any surprises in the Super Tuesday results, but there was some surprising sneering from MSNBC about anyone who thinks immigration is a top issue. Managing Editor Curtis Houck joins the show to explain Jen Psaki and Rachel Maddow trying to assert "migrant crime is not a thing."
Reporters are already laying the groundwork for how Biden will display his sharp mind at the State of the Union and remind the public of all of his great "achievements," like inflation reduction. Curtis pointed out Stephanie Ruhle was adamant that if you succeed in life right now, that's Joe Biden who did that.
She said "this White House has to get their messaging down but the American people also have to realize, ‘holy cow. Look at all these great things that have just happened for me.’ Did they think that happened out of thin air?”
Last year after the big Biden speech, the liberal media called him "Mr. Smooth" and "brilliant." The bad polls on the age issue will no doubt cause a bevy of bubbly talk about his performance. But he's just reading a speech. He's not taking on reporters in a press conference or debating a Republican opponent.
The Super Tuesday results spurred not only Republican Nikki Haley to suspend her presidential campaign, but also Democrat Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who the pro-Biden media energetically ignored. PBS NewsHour tweeted about his "longshot" campaign after he quit. In the four months or so he was campaigning, PBS aired three soundbites and never interviewed him...just the way the Biden team would want it.
