The drive-bys not only know nothing, they suspect nothing.
Welch is right that the Unemployment Index is a fraud but wrong that it is a fraud perpetrated by the people who produce it.

And in reality, the commission on presidential debates would not even try to find somebody to moderate a debate that was not a schill for the democrat party.
Chuck Todd is a former staffer to Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa).
