MSNOW is turning the old "maga voters in the diner" routine on its head, and I loved it!! [View all]

Just now after the mind numbingly long one and a half hour nothingburger of a "press conference" ended, MSNOW's reporter went to a veterans' hangout where vets had listened to the whole thing. Alex Talbot interviewed two vets who looked like typical trump voters but neither one of them were buying it.

The first vet gave some advice to the press. He said that they should ask what the purpose of the war is. He said that after that press conference he still doesn't know.

The second vet said that blowing up a country is not a way to win a war. And he looked absolutely surprised that he even needed to state that.

So MSNOW at least has figured out that when your policies are as unpopular as trump's are it is not difficult to go out and find average voters, and even vets, who disagree. What a breath of fresh air. I won't hold my breath for other outlets to try this, but it was refreshing.
