I can't wait to find out

[Yavin4]

1. Rubio is not a governor

He's a senator.

[malaise]

5. True but he was a governor

So it's not Christie - which leaves JebusEnoughBushes, Jindal or Kasich. Fuckabee was also a previous governor. Perry and Walker have dropped out.

[Yavin4]

10. No. He was never a governor.

He was a state legislator and then he became a U.S. Senator.

[malaise]

12. Corrected - my bad

Thanks.

[immoderate]

2. Yeah, but wait a minute...

Rubio was not a governor. Nevertheless, I look forward to whatever exposure Rachel might provide.

[world wide wally]

3. It would be funny if Chris Christie broke down and confessed before her show airs...

Only to find out it was directed at Kasich

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

4. What is the teaser, I missed it.?

[malaise]

7. Rachel will be exposing a scandal that should end the campaign of

a ReTHUG candidate for President and this person was/is a governor and it is not Christie.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

11. Oh goody! Cant wait LOL

[virtualobserver]

39. it wouldn't be as much fun if it was

[StevieM]

70. Good point. It might be Walker. (eom)

[Warpy]

34. Maybe it's Jeb! He's got a lot of contractor skeletons in his closet

and his history of corruption in Florida is a massive one.

My hopeis that it's Huckabee, though. A scandal involving Mr. Pious would be delicious.

It wouldn't do any good to expose Walker or Perry, they're out.

[virtualobserver]

41. I would take either one

[kairos12]

36. Maybe Kasich?

[HooptieWagon]

6. Rubio was never Governor.

He was speaker of Florida House before winning US Senate seat.

[malaise]

8. My bad and I mean bad

Forgot he was a little twat in local Florida politics.

[pinboy3niner]

13. Well, you know what this means

You're just going to have to self-deport.

[malaise]

15. Means I'll probably flunk the Jeopardy final

tonight unless it's Blue Mountain

[pinboy3niner]

16. Bazinga!

[6chars]

49. Blue Mountain?

[malaise]

50. as in Coffee - it's a joke between pinboy3niner

and me

[merrily]

45. Please consider using a word that is less sexist. Thanks.

[Mass]

9. Did she say governor? Rubio is not a governor. x

This said, I think she means Rand Paul. She has been after him for a while now.

If it is/was a governor. we have Bush, Huckabee, Jindal, Christie (but we know it is not him), Pataki, Gilmore (but who would care about those two). Who else?

[malaise]

14. My bad re Rubio as governor

Didn't even think of those last two. She said this person was/is a governor

[Mass]

17. I missed Kasich!

[StevieM]

27. I don't believe she said it was a governor. Just that it is a Republican. (eom)

[NuclearDem]

19. Only governors in the race are

Bush, Kasich, Jindal, Huckabee, Christie, Gilmore, and Pataki.

[MohRokTah]

22. You left out two.

O'Malley and Chafee.

I heard no party specified.

[StevieM]

26. She said it is a Republican. But she never said it was a governor. (eom)

[StevieM]

25. She did not say it is a governor. Just that it is a Republican. (eom)

[malaise]

52. OK then - won't be long n/t

[longship]

18. My money's on Jindal.

He's already deep in the mud of the Mississippi.

So, no loss.

[jberryhill]

20. Don't listen to the haters, Malaise

I know that in your heart, he's a governor.

And that's what matters.

[NuclearDem]

23. I laughed harder at that than I should have.

[malaise]

42. No - I was wrong

on Rubio

[MohRokTah]

21. Bush, Pataki, Kasich, Gilmore, Huckabee, Jindal, O'Malley, and Chafee are the choices

Since Christie is out, I've listed all the possibilities.

[StevieM]

28. She said it is a Republican. But she never said it was a governor. (eom)

[yeoman6987]

30. Why is Christie out?

[malaise]

35. Rachel said it was not Christie n/t

[yeoman6987]

40. Oh. Thank you!

[ProgressiveEconomist]

24. Or is it Kasich, who

exempted 16 predominantly Caucasian rural counties from food stamp time limits, while exempting none of the predominantly minority counties, when all 88 counties were eligible?

See http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2015/09/law-john-kasich-wrote-now-keeping-food-stamps-minorities-ohio .

[kydo]

29. Thats who I think it is too nt

[ProgressiveEconomist]

43. I sure hope it's Kasich

IMO Kasich poses the greatest danger of general election viability, and potentially THREE USSC appointments 2017-2020.

[rurallib]

60. me too - Kasich scares me

he sounds sane, especially in the looney bin of this year's pres crop on the right

[malaise]

38. Now that would be great news

Can't wait

[StevieM]

32. She said it was a "leading candidate." Now, there is a certain amount of flexibility in how you use

the word "leading." But I don't think she would apply it to Bobby Jindal.

I admit that a governor is more likely, but not absolutely certain. A senator is also a possibility, especially one who was previously the Speaker of his state's House of Representatives. The corruption could have taken place when the person was in a previous position.

I suppose it could also be allegations of corruption against someone who ran a wing or department of a hospital. It doesn't have to be a politician.

That said, I am thinking it might be John Kasich. He is the only one who is a current or recent governor that can sort of be called a "leading candidate," since he managed to put together some decent poll numbers in New Hampshire for awhile. And unlike Jindal, he managed to escape being sent to the kids table for the debates.

On Edit: Also, didn't Mike Huckabee's son kill a dog once? Wasn't there some kind of allegation that Huckabee abused his power to help cover it up?

[flamingdem]

33. Kasich!

Yeah babay

[kairos12]

37. Sorry. Not caught up. What is being alleged?

[malaise]

44. You'll have to watch to find out

like the rest of us

[StevieM]

57. Rachel said that she is going to break a story about a leading GOP presidential candidate who is

under a federal corruption investigation.

[enid602]

46. Huckabee

I'm hoping it's Huckleberry. And I hope the porn she's promising is gay porn. What a perfect culmination to the summer of Trump. Can just see the headline Iin the Guardian.

[4139]

47. Rubio not potty trained yet?

[H2O Man]

48. Should be fun

watching her show tonight.

[yeoman6987]

51. Are you being sarcastic?

[dorkzilla]

53. malaise, dear, do post an update when you find out!

I don’t watch tv for the most part, and won’t watch MSNBC at any rate.

BTW, yesterday I went to my new MS specialist and they had a check list of symptoms...one of which was “malaise”. I chuckled thinking of you.

[malaise]

55. LOL

Please take care of yourself. I'll post the name as soon as she tells us.

[dorkzilla]

58. See? You’re famous!

I’m trying but this is going on MONTHS...I’m so over myself.

[pinboy3niner]

54. I saw the Pope praying...

I wonder which one he was praying it will be. Looks like he ended the service early so he can go watch Rachel.

[malaise]

56. You're the best

[AnnieBW]

59. Fiorina and her Dealings with Iran

While she was head of HP. I'll betcha.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

61. That was my thought too

[StevieM]

65. It is a male candidate, not female. It can't be her. See my posts right below yours. (eom)

[StevieM]

64. Rachel just said it was a "he." It's not Fiorina. (eom)

[StevieM]

63. Rachel just said it's a "major" candidate. And she also just said it's a man. So not Fiorina. (eom)

[bigdarryl]

67. I though she said it was a Governor

[StevieM]

68. I don't remember her saying that. Here is a link to a video of what she said last night.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017296090

[avebury]

66. I didn't think that Rand Paul was all that major a candidate. nt

[malaise]

74. Same here

What a let down

[pugetres]

71. I was hopeful and watched to the end.

But, I guess her big news truly was old news about questions about how much Rand Paul knew about the whole Ron Paul/Michele Bachmann "scandal".

I could have sworn she said "leading" candidate. If she considers Paul a leading figure, it reinforces my "meh" opinion of Maddow.

[spanone]

72. and the winner is????

[malaise]

75. Well it seemed to be Rand Paul

how disappointing was that?

[StevieM]

73. Did I miss it? I flipped channels for awhile. Did she name the candidate?

A few other posters say that she just said something about Rand Paul. Was that all it was?

Bad move on Rachel's part if she was teasing a story that was nothing compared to what she implied it was.

[malaise]

76. Agree

With all her non-stop Trump coverage annoying regulars, this damp squib suggests desperation.
That was pathetic.
