[From article]
The cluelessness of the GOP pundit class is infuriating, but may ultimately be our salvation. Nothing they say about anything is ever right, even accidentally.
This is making the TV news shows resemble Monty Python’s “Upperclass Twit of the Year” contest. The twits don’t notice the starting gun, run into one another, fall down, run themselves over with their own cars and, then, the remaining contestants all shoot themselves in the head.

If you tuned into ABC’S “This Week” the morning after Trump’s tremendous victory in South Carolina, you’d find George Stephanopoulos promising analysis from a “powerhouse roundtable,” by which I assume he was referring to the table itself.

If you cut out words from a magazine and randomly pasted them on a piece of paper, you would produce a better analysis of what is happening in this election than anything said by [Sara] Fagen.

Chimps throwing darts at a dictionary would be right more often. Why are these people still allowed in the building? The FCC ought to force the TV networks into a massive settlement for promoting snake oil salesmen.
If I were a career counselor, I’d tell my students to become “Republican strategists.” You can be terrible at what you do — and the phone will never stop ringing! In no other profession, even fields that require a fair amount of speculation like oil wildcatting or weather forecasting, can you be so consistently wrong and never lose work.
After Trump’s huge victory in New Hampshire and then in South Carolina, did it occur to TV bookers to call any of the people who got it right?

In the Nevada primary on Tuesday, Trump not only won the Hispanic vote; he not only won 17 points more of the Hispanic vote than his next closest rival; but his Latino vote nearly matched that of the two Latino candidates combined.
In one of the few times you might have heard this point expressed on television airwaves, [Alex] Marlow said that the No. 1 issue for Breitbart News’ 20 million readers, “has consistently been — since last year —immigration.They are looking for someone who is going to seal the border and prioritize border security as No. 1.”
Obviously, Marlow was right about everything. According to Nexis, that was the last time he appeared on TV.
