Rachel is so good at connecting the dots. She had a much better program then Cuomo had with his bantering with sucky, lying Sarah.

and Maddow is done.

I'm like, are you smoking crack? Cuomo is a stupid show where he just fights with lying trump sycophants all night. Maddow is actually useful and intelligent. I have no intention of ever watching Cuomo. Too stupid.

Bringing on repukes to let them regurgitate the usual repuke lies and talking points, then trying to refute them.

Rachel Maddow is incomparably overrated. I have no use for conventional wisdom. That only leads to underachieving time and again. Rachel always takes the obvious storyline and digs deeply. She does it well but it is nothing but backtracking with no threat of brilliant foresight.

Every time I watch Rachel it's impossible not to imagine the opposition well underway with some suppression scheme or other devious tactic that Rachel will be telling us about two years from now, when it does absolutely no good. With Rachel-caliber mindset you're always two years behind and not two years ahead. She does a marvelous job of getting this forum riled up. Wonderful.

Republicans lie and cheat. No kidding? How do you beat them? You don't do it by describing in nightly repetitive detail what Trump and Co. did in 2016.

Sorry, I'm one of the guys who found Apple stock in the late '90s. I like big picture situational angles and tomorrow's solution today. As I've emphasized, that needed to be college campus registration drives from the minute Trump was elected. The nation right now is moving in one direction while the old scared white angry males are desperately trying to hold onto power by clutching every lie and manipulation. Rachel Maddow in her role had every opportunity to understand that boosting the direction of the youth was the way to go, for the party's benefit and to scare the hell out of Republicans. Instead, she predictably chose the dullard route of utilizing her show every night to detail the olden atrocities of those scared angry white guys in power.

Pathetic doesn't begin to describe it. Overmatched and irrelevant, in long term scope.

Chris Cuomo has some rare qualities as an interviewer. Incredibly relaxed listening skills with ability to sense an opening and frame the perfect followup question. Fantastic on debut.

No, she's not. She explains things well, and has uncovered stories that other networks don't cover. While CNN is busy running 3rd place in ratings with their endless panels of Trump worshipping idiots, Maddow actually presents interesting facts and pieces them all together.

CNN really sucks these days. Maddow is by far superior to anyone else on TV and that's why she's the highest rated news program, and has been the highest rated show on all of Cable TV of any type of show.

I think you're stoned or related to Cuomo somehow. I don't need to see him sucking up to and interviewing the trump humpers to know they're wrong and I'm right. Those in the wrong should NEVER get a platform to spew their nonsense. One of the reasons people are turning against the Mueller investigation is because they don't understand it or see any progress. Rachel is brilliant in connecting dots so that even dullards can understand it. Cuomo does what all the rest on CNN do - dumbs down the complexity of the investigation because it's simply to hard for them to explain. Pathetic is thinking those moronic panels add ANYTHING to someone's knowledge of what's going on.
