Most useless statistic of the night

Bill Schneider and Soledad O’Brien have just provided us with the most useless statistic of the night—and perhaps of the primary season.

Did Republicans in North Carolina cross over and vote for Hillary Clinton—JUST LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH TOLD THEM TO???

WHO CARES?!?!?!

I can’t believe that they would dignify that ridiculous drive by Limbaugh—he’s dubbed himself the “commander-in-chief of Operation Chaos.“

Seriously, CNN, that is atrocious.

If you’re interested, Republicans voted for Clinton 53-47 for Obama. But independents voted for Obama 53-47.

So I guess the Commander-in-Chief of Operation Chaos needs to develop a new battleplan ... or come to his senses, stop trying to manipulate the electoral process and worry about how his own candidate is going to motivate his base.

But that would be affecting a positive change. And we are talking about Rush Limbaugh, who makes a living (and a good one, at that) tearing down, ridiculing and belittling anyone who doesn’t bow to his unctuous brand of superconservatism. So we can’t expect him to act counter to his own financial interests—and that’s why we should be able to count on CNN to ignore him.
