"In this segment, Rachel Maddow does the following:

* Lays waste to every single mainstream media narrative about the midterm elections
* Exposes those narratives as the Republican wish lists that they are
* Reminds us all of the stakes in this election, especially when it comes to the extremists being pawned off as viable candidates.

If there were a Debunkers' Hall of Fame, Rachel Maddow's name would be all over the trophy. It's so good I'm not including the transcript. Just watch. You'll see what I mean."
