I really like Ali Velshi on MSNBC...

Like Joy Reid, he's a fast thinker with his brain somehow wired directly to his mouth, super articulate... MSNBC is really cultivating a strong stable of anchors... I hope he get's his own show sometime soon. Just my thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

I don't have live TV, and basically get my MSNBC via podcast... I'll look to see if I can subscribe to it.

Thanks!

I loved him saying after John McCain passed and Trump being a bitch about it:

"No matter what you thought of a person. When they pass you just express sympathy and respect. It's just what you do. I can't understand not doing it.."

And Jon Meacham said, "That you can't understand it speaks to the sweetness of your character, Ali."

First time I've 'noticed' him. He came across as pretty direct and strong. My favs are Rachel and Lawrence.
