The Democrat mouthpieces at MSNBC will need to be resuscitated in the
morning after spending the entire evening of the New Hampshire primary
weeping, seething, and soiling themselves over the unstoppable Donald
Trump's second straight win.

During Trump's victory speech, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who was apoplectic
when Trump swept the Iowa caucuses, cut into the audio feed, launching
into a live "fact-checking" tirade. "This is what makes it hard to take
him—his pronouncements—live."

MSNBC has made it a regular practice to not give Trump "an unfiltered live platform."

"There is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting
untrue things," Maddow said earlier this month, announcing MSNBC's
decision to cut away from live footage of the GOP frontrunner. "It is not
out of spite," she claimed.

Maddow and Joy Reid, both Biden fangirls, laughably attempted to
characterize Trump as a senile old man in decline.

Maddow claimed that Trump's remarks at his Monday night rally in Laconia
were gaffe-filled.

"Best case scenario: Maybe lost his place in the teleprompter. Worst case scenario: Seemed to be slurring. Seemed to not be knowing what he was
talking about. Ended up sort of spitting up a gobbledygook of words nobody knew..." Maddow said.

Misread a teleprompter? Slurred speech? Speaking nonsense? That sounds
awfully familiar.

Nikki Haley's defeat prompted the left-wing network's talking heads to
jump to her defense and strategize ways to keep her sinking campaign
afloat, as she vowed to stay in the race. "If you're the donor class that
wants Trump gone, you tell [Nikki Haley], 'Thug it out for a few months.
I'm going to put some more money in your bank account,'" Joy Reid advised anti-Trump donors.

Rachel Maddow wannabe Alex Wagner, of course, played the race card 'cause
how else can she secure her TV time on MSNBC:

"I mean, Donald Trump has already started going for the jugular with the birtherism stuff on Nikki Haley. It is going to be a bruising next month
for this woman, who very clearly did not want to talk about being the
daughter of immigrants, did not want to talk about being the governor who
took the Confederate flag down from the state capitol in the wake of the
Mother Emanuel shooting. This is all stuff that I think for the general election could be important data points for Haley. But, in a primary
process where nativism and xenophobia and latent—if not explicit
racism—have proven to be mana, I think it's gonna get really, really
ugly."

It's not surprising who MSNBC is ostensibly rooting for given that a
majority of Nikki Haley voters (70% undeclared) in New Hampshire are not registered Republicans, according to an exit poll, whereas it's "a
complete reversal" for Trump (70% GOP registration) when comparing the two candidates. A CNN interview with an "independent" New Hampshire voter, an undeclared Democrat who cast his ballot for Nikki Haley in the primary but plans to vote for Joe Biden in the general election, explains the strategy explicitly: A vote for Haley is "a vote against Trump," and it would be "better" odds to have her face off with Biden.

MSNBC interviewed another "undeclared" New Hampshire voter with "a liberal-leaning ideology," who chose to "strategically" vote for Haley in
hopes of undermining Trump's sway over the GOP. "I voted for Nikki Haley
and it was certainly a strategic vote..." the Dartmouth College freshman
told an MSNBC reporter. "A vote for Nikki Haley helps diminish Trump's influence in the RNC and their nomination..." That interview was
"emblematic" of "so many conversations" MSNBC had throughout the day.
