On Monday's All In, MSNBC's Joy Reid oddly asserted that "what could end up saving the Republican Party" from a Donald Trump nomination is "the snobbery of the Founding Fathers and the early proponents of the system, because the popular vote...doesn't choose the nominee.

February 24th, 2016 9:28 PM
Can you imagine if a conservative TV host interrupted a black woman journalist, instructing her to change the way she said something that was not to his linguistic liking? The cries of racial condescension and sexism would echo through the land.

Chris Hayes Hotly Denies Planned Parenthood Sold Baby Parts
January 25th, 2016 9:26 PM
If he wants, Chris Hayes can crow about the refusal of a Houston grand jury to indict Planned Parenthood.
