1. I love that man. He's the go-to constitutional scholar, and he was powerful tonight.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Yes, I was anxious to hear him since he has all the answers

Even Rachel needed to ask him a question!

[ancianita]

3. Right?

If anyone's got the right questions, it's her!

[Rhiannon12866]

4. I know!

I love it when she asks a guest if she was accurate regarding whatever issue they're on the show to promote - and they always seem to praise whatever she had to say.

5. ...

I like that, too. She humbly recognizes expert authority, which is more than one can say for the degreed dumbos like Hawley and Cruz, who will get their butts legally kicked by Pelosi and the DOJ if they don't shape up.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. And even those who we may not agree with (though we haven't seen them lately)

Don't disagree that Rachel describes their positions accurately. I was here on DU during her first MSNBC appearance when she subbed for Keith Olbermann. I watched along with the then-KOEB group hoping she'd do well. We knew her back then from her Air America radio show. She was pretty nervous at the beginning of the show, but gained confidence as the show progressed - and the rest is history!

7. Indeed. She has set the standard that other hosts across cable news are trying to live up to.

I think MSNBC is appreciated by smart people across the country. I'll know when I go into stores or public places with tv's and don't see Fox on anymore.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Oh, I sure agree! MSNBC has become must-see-TV for the latest news and important guests!

Not to mention that their hosts are the best, informed and ask all the right questions! Though I think Ali Velshi is way overdue for a vacation!
