At first I wasn't sure: it certainly sounded like Luke Russert, off camera, laughed as a reporter said that some Donald Trump supporters told her they hope he hires smart people to carry out his plans.

But was I being unfair?  Could he have been coughing? But no, when Russert [guest hosting for Andrea Mitchell] came back on screen, his disdain for those Trump supporters couldn't have been clearer. A smirk still on his face, Russert said: "That's a fascinating anecdote, Chris. I don't think we've heard that. I hope they hire smart people for the presidential candidate. It's wild."
