Nicole Wallace should know




ON EDIT:
She was the White House communications director for George W. Bush during the illegal Iraq invasion, tax cuts and Supreme Court nominations.
She spun them all.

If a TV show erases all that then so be it I guess.


Yeah I'm being harsh here but only because of all the broken lives, death, and carnage in her wake.
She played a big role in making all this acceptable and becoming an Independent while calling out Republicans on TV doesn't erase all that for me.

Or for someone to say that they were wrong?

What kind of world is that?

Not the ones criticizing Trump, “Trumpism,” and the current state of their party, who try to pretend this all sprung up out of nowhere and it’s all other peoples’ fault. Not the ones scrambling for a seat in the clubhouse of The Disownership Society.

The ones who admit that THEY helped bring this about, that their entire careers were spent paving the road that Kremlin Don is drag racing on because they thought they would be the ones drag racing on it. Name those people. It’s a pretty short list.

"a year-long funeral" and "a wake that never ends".

Not all Repugs are redhats. Wallace deserves some kudos for acknowledging the problem early on: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/nbcs-nicolle-wallace-the-party-i-worked-for-for-20-years-died-in-this-room-tonight/299987

She and Steve Schmidt ( along with David Frum and Rick Wilson ) have earned my respect in the past year.

She's been on the right side of the debate regarding tRump & the repubs since way before the election. Your effort could probably be better spent elsewhere.
