Watch Matt Welch Discuss Campaign 2016 and Criminal Justice on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Today at 10 a.m. ET

This morning I'll be on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry program beginning at 10 a.m. ET, to talk about the competitiveness gap in the Republican/Democratic 2016 presidential fields, the potential youth appeal of septuagenarian socialist Bernie Sanders, the WTF factor of Martin O'Malley, and also some criminal justice stuff tied to Cleveland. It'll be a good panel, including Amy Goodman from Democracy Now!

Is this show on the Internet?

[AlmightyJB]

Where else would it be?

[Pathogen]

On the gas pump monitors at Murphy/shell gas stations..

[Dweebston]

They'd get more viewers than they currently have.

[AlmightyJB]

Amy Goodman. Wow. That should be fun.

[Rich]

Give her your betht, Matt.

[Mint Berry Crunch]

Hey, stop your lisp-shaming!

[Rich]

Thorry.

[Almanian!]

Tho ith Melitha Harrith Perry.

[Jerry on the sea]

Are we sure that this Welch guy is not related to Bernie Sanders?

"I think [Bernie Sanders] appeals across the political spectrum."

That's the first thing I heard turning this on.

[Pathogen]

Somewhere between red, and infrared..

[Pan Zagloba]

"less terrible than Hilary" is a good platform this cycle, I think. He'd certainly be a less horrible president.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I don't know about that. President Hillary will spend most of her time making money off the office and following the polls. O'Malley, who knows what he'd spend his time on.

[AlmightyJB]

Fantasizing about raping Hillary of course

[Almanian!]

HEY, THAT'S MY SCHTICK!!

Almanian for President - 2016
I probably won't make it any worse.

WARTY/NIKKI 2016

THE GREATER OF TWO WORSTS

[Jimbo]

Is Nikki aware of this?

[Fist of Etiquette]

The nodding heads around the table tells me this is a race to see which of these people can prove most they exist in a bubble.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Yes, let's overlook O'Malley's police state bullshit so we can find something we can hold onto come election day.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I take it the grey lady here is a Sanders gal.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ha, apparently Baltimore didn't work, it just took some time to make itself evident.

[Fist of Etiquette]

WHY DO STRAIGHT AMERICANS GET LISTED LAST. I've been aggressed.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Smattering of applause for earning less.

[Fist of Etiquette]

So they're going to show this whole thing? Does MSNBC broadcast GOP candidate announcements?

[Matt Welch]

Fox did the whole speech, I'm told.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Is this in defense of MSNBC or Fox? I can't tell.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Then why don't we elect your mom and dad?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I've never heard him speechify before. He's boring.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Is he going to own the Baltimore riots? Let's find out...

[Fist of Etiquette]

Huh, I guess not. Heroin at least got a shout-out.

[Fist of Etiquette]

NOTE: THERE ARE NO ASIANS BEHIND HIM.

[Bodica Slayer of Drones]

Asia is a big continent - so, are you sure about that?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Well, yeah, sure, if you look that far behind him eventually you'll hit Asia.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I'm not hearing many answers here. Not even socialist ones.

[VG Zaytsev]

O'Malley is dissing the hell out of Obama's economy, saying the country's in a depression - or something.

And he's just the man to fix it by tripling down on Obamanomics.

If you doubt him, just look at what he's wrought in Baltimore.

[Fist of Etiquette]

He spent maybe two lines addressing Baltimore and then moved on to drug war bullshit.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

That's why they don't invite you to talk on MSNBC.

That and your face.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Unions, start you donations!

[Fist of Etiquette]

SAVE US, O'MALLEY, YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE!

[Fist of Etiquette]

This speech seems to mostly be about getting that Republican out of the White House.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Springsteen? Couldn't find a Maryland native son to quote?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I wish the kids would stop asking me who I voted for.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Sounds like we're all going to be doing a lot of write-in votes come November 2016.

[Fist of Etiquette]

zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzz.. zzzzzzzz.... huh, what? Yeah! U2 for president!!!

[Longtorso, Johnny]

Hello FoE. Did you know Tony supports a candidate, Hillary, that is funded by regimes that rape women and behead homosexuals?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I heard a rumor to that. Did you know that leftists are often hypocrites?

[Dweebston]

It's okay, they had feels about it, and those feels were the right feels.

[Pathogen]

I had heard something about that as well... but, what position is his position on his supported candidate's position on tax reform.. and income inequality.. and the diversity of the folder colors for the proposal documents, to one day address those issues? That's the meat and potatoes right there..

[Fist of Etiquette]

Damn. Welch nailed O'Malley's speech. He's going to be frozen out for the rest of the show.

[Matt Welch]

This is technically true, but for unrelated reasons. (Also, FWIW, absolutely everyone on that panel agreed with me about that...you shoulda heard the smack-talking during the speech.)

[Fist of Etiquette]

There's the door, Welch. USE IT.

[Pathogen]

Steal all the coffee mugs on the whilst skulking out unnoticed..
