cenk's always leaned right. and, the truth is that his audience does, too. it's really about time that he came out of the closet.


it's been pretty obvious the whole time that what the young turks does is seek out an alternative and then try and corner the market. up until now, that's broadly been on the left. the market appears to be evaporating, so he's shifting. it's very easy to understand and very predictable if you can see between the lines.

some of the other hosts here are a little more principled. but, cenk is just following the dollar signs. there's a bigger market for johnson than there is for stein. and, he sees a vacuum to take advantage of. so, that's what the coverage is going to swing to.

if you're disappointed, you weren't really paying attention.

Does Cenk understand that Gary Johnson is a libertarian. Cenk doesn't have a libertarian bone in his body, and there's a lot of body.

see, it's funny that you say that, because i'd classify cenk as a classical liberal rather than a modern one.

i think he'd have rather supported gary johnson over bernie sanders in the first place.

but, i also think he's suffering from the same lack of careful thinking that libertarians everywhere suffer from. gary johnson's policies are not how you get money out of politics, they're how you reduce politics to nothing except money.
