    Never claimed she had a message.
    So what are you saying she does, Chris?

    To be fair, propping up her political opinions due to her academic credentials is pure argument from authority...
    Appeal to Authority
    argumentum ad verecundiam

    (also known as: argument from authority, ipse dixit)

    Description: Insisting that a claim is true simply because a valid authority or expert on the issue said it was true, without any other supporting evidence offered. Also see the appeal to false authority.

    Logical Form:

    According to person 1, who is an expert on the issue of Y, Y is true.

    Therefore, Y is true.
    So, in order to get this to work for you, you need to find somewhere that I claimed, or fairly implied, that

    "Rachel Maddow says X, so it must be true".


    Why the GOP’s failure over the Comey memos seems so familiar
    http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...ms-so-familiar
    (worth noting article is not by Maddow herself)
    By Steve Benen (producer for Maddow)

    Maddow has a PhD in political science. I guess you prefer your news from dropouts?
    If you want to make up , you can say that I implied, somehow, that anything Maddow said was true, but that implication was never actually stated. My intent was clarified here:

    It is kinda obvious Dr. Maddow was a sharp person from the first couple times I watched her show. She has to deal with the grind of finding something to talk about for a periodic show, but still the quality of her analysis, even through any bias, is still pretty good.
    The ONLY way you can say that, is if you assume that my article was by Maddow herself (which I knew it wasn't), AND you put words in my mouth that pretty much contradict my later statements.

    Sorry, you are just wrong.

    Not that I don't make reasoning mistakes, I do, you just didn't find one here.

    (shrugs)

    Personally I could make the argument that your claim is, itself a strawman logical fallacy, if you really want to push that, I can use the above to draw a much clearer line to your mistake than anything I did.

    I have spoon fed it to you. Either you can find something that I said was true simply because Maddow said it, or you can't. You seem like an honest sort, so I will assume you aren't shooting for a strawman here.

    k, i'll take all that into consideration

    but you were vouching for the credibility of an article written by a guy named Steve Banen because he wrote a piece in a blog of a person who is very well educated

    He might fire Rosenstein just to get rid of Sessions.

    Trump has been begging for an excuse. He just got one.

    And he wouldn't even have to fire him.

    I would hope no one is quoting anything I say here on other sites as a credible source.

    You completely missed the point, for some reason I am not surprised though.

    In primaries Trump backers could easily beat GOP in bents who don't pretend to be loyal to Trump, but it wouldn't shock me to see the GOP impeach after primaries if he fires Mueller since they might be scared Trump would work with Democrats after the midterms while Pence never would.
