I used to view Nicole Wallace as completely worthless.

[CatWoman]

I must say that over the past couple of months, she has steadily gained my respect.

She's on right now raking Trump over the coals over his boorish, inappropriate, slimy behavior.

[lagomorph777]

1. I think Pres Turd has helped many see the moral fallacy of conservatism

by demonstrating its apotheosis.

He is knocking the scales from many GOP eyes.

[lapfog_1]

2. We will need to update her entry in the galactic database

Previous: Earth - harmless
New Entry: Earth - mostly harmless

Previous: Nicole Wallace - worthless
New Entry: Nicole Wallace - mostly worthless

'mkay?

[Irish_Dem]

5. How about: New Entry: Earth mostly dangerous

I agree with new entry on Nicole Wallace as mostly worthless.
Anyone who helped Sarah Palin in her quest to be VP, is pretty worthless.

[lapfog_1]

10. Earth is (so far) mostly dangerous to itself

Having not much chance of launching nukes at other planets outside our solar system

[Irish_Dem]

12. But a potential danger to the rest of the solar system.

As soon as we get the capability to bomb another planet, we probably will.

[CatWoman]

11. lol

ok

[Grown2Hate]

27. Absolutely Prefect. ;)

3. Is it just me, or is he getting fatter by the day?

He looks more fat every time I see his girth on TV.
Must be the great (free) food prepared by WH chefs.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Just one more thin mint....

[quartz007]

28. LMAO

thanks for the laugh. I always need it.

[lunatica]

7. First families have to buy their own food

They don't get free food unless it's for a State Dinner. But they probably do get free food when they're lunching or dining with members of Congress. That would be classified under 'working' meals.

[quartz007]

25. Did not know that!

I figured rent and food was included. Who pays the chefs, even if the first family buys the food? Or does the first family cook their own food?

[lunatica]

47. The chef cooks the First Family meals.

There are two kitchens. One is for the First Family. So if someone wants to cook their own meals or raid the frig for midnight ice cream they have their own kitchen. The First Family kitchen is on the second floor.

[politicaljunkie41910]

6. Prior to getting her own show on MSNBC, she and Steve Schmidt have been regular contributors on many

MSNBC shows including Morning Joe since the campaign. Both have shown little affection for Trump. I seem to recall that she had said that her Father was a Trump supporter, and everytime she would mention it, she seemed embarrass by the fact. She and Joe who also claimed to have members of his family who were Trump supporters seemed to be embarrassed by the fact and often joked about it. I like her and give her a pass for Sarah Palin whom she also seems to have no love lost for these days.

[lunatica]

9. I'll give her a pass until Trump is gone

I'm sure she'll love Pence.

[Hekate]

8. Nicolle "got" Trump a long, long time ago. She's been speaking out against him since the campaign...

MSNBC had her and Steve Schmidt on panels as commentators, and their statements on the night of the Republican Convention were epic in their heartbreak for this nation. I have respected both of them a great deal since then.

[quartz007]

29. Whom did Nicole Wallace support during

the 2016 primaries?

[Hekate]

33. As an ethical commentator on MSNBC, she did not state who. She is identified as a conservative...

...and by now former Republican. Her resume is well-known: she worked for Dubya as, I believe, communications director or the like. She worked for the McCain campaign and was put in charge of Sarah Palin -- she wrote a book about that nightmare.

Right?

[quartz007]

44. You jogged my memory, now I remember...

she did work in GWB regime in some capacity. From that I would assume she was supporting Jeb Bush in 2016.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I like her much more than Greta Van Whatever.

She definitely has proven that she holds people accountable during interviews often and she is informed.

[PearliePoo2]

14. She admitted she could not bring herself to vote for McCain!

She cried about it but she just couldn't do it because of Palin. She's remarked twice, that I have heard, that she STILL has PTSD because of Sarah fucking Palin.
I have grown to really like her and I try to catch her show when I can. Same with Steve Schmidt. He's been ruthless in tearing trump to pieces!

[Gothmog]

15. K&R

[KG]

16. she never got the best of bobby goren!

[RhodeIslandOne]

24. LOL

That's all I can think of when I hear her name.

[KG]

17. she never got the best of bobby goren!

[barbtries]

18. What i just cannot understand

is why she continues to identify as a republican. this is true of more than one person.

[quartz007]

30. May be..just may be

identifying as a republican makes it easier for her to gain jobs at democratic leaning cable TV? Just my WAG.

[barbtries]

32. that could be it i suppose.

naive me, i thought just about everyone would be ashamed to be republican after gwbush. now we have trump making him look good. it just flummoxes me it really does. i'm not generally a stupid person but this is beyond me.

[arthritisR_US]

34. She has stated many times she is a former republican.

[barbtries]

39. okay! i missed that.

probably because i don't watch her. lol

maybe i will now. people can grow, they can change, they can think. some can anyway. thanks

[arthritisR_US]

42. I think she voted for Hillary because Jeb said that was how all his

family were voting. She stated as if the Bush family was giving her permission. She also stated that Jeb told her to not be afraid and use her voice like Steve was.

[uponit7771]

35. +1, they see Red Don as an abortion where we can see the GOP's LONG history of Trump

[dawg]

36. Oh, they still want tax cuts for the rich and benefit cuts for the poor ...

they just aren't willing to turn a blind eye to sexism and racism in order to get them.

[barbtries]

38. sure they are.

did you mean that the way you wrote it?

as i see it, they are more than willing to ignore even encourage sexism, racism, poverty, inequality, discrimination, on and on. endless war. out of control gun culture with almost 100 deaths per day. as of today they appear willing to turn a blind eye to the fact of a president who represents a real threat to the planet and to millions of people.

but, yeah. tax cuts. i hate republicans.

[dawg]

41. I was referring to Nicolle and others like her.

They still hold views on taxes and government services that I strongly oppose. It's just that they aren't willing to abide absolute monsters in order to get their way.

[barbtries]

46. now i get it

sorry

[lostnfound]

19. She's still growing. Not everyone comes out of childhood with fully cooked politics

Her parents are (or at least were) Trump supporters. Nicole works at her job, treats people generally with respect, and seems clear-eyed about Trump. Plus, she's become a parent which seems to be important in her life; it can make people re-consider their world views in a more humble way. Parenting make sure it pretty obvious that we all are born pretty vulnerable and impressionable, which doesn't jive with republican bootstraps ideology.

The United States needs a Republican Party comprised of thoughtful, honest, "conservatives". It's okay to have a little pepper to balance the salt. Right now there's too much of some other dark substance in the shaker.

[WinkyDink]

20. She still believes that the war-mongering Bushes are "good" Republicans.

[malaise]

21. Ditto

She defended all the war crimes. I never watch her

[quartz007]

45. Bush-41 invaded Iraq, and Bush-43 invaded Iraq again!

I hate the war mongering Bushes.

[eppur_se_muova]

22. Rachel liked her enough early on to invite her on her show several times ...

I think Rachel was showing very discerning judgement.

[kydo]

23. I know right. About 2 years ago I couldn't turn the channel fast enough when she came on.

There was this nasally whine. Then the repug talking points. But every now and then she would briefly stop all that and I would say, whoa Nicole Wallace got a spine. Then she went back to her normal stuff and I switched channels.

Then about a year ago, that whine faded and she didn't retreat to right wing talking points as fast. This kept happening. And she is turning out to be a very good news host. I like the style she has adopted.

These days I really enjoy her show. I would not have said that two years ago. She has changed and for the better. Yes, she is still a republican, but she is not crazy.

[Jamaal510]

26. K&R

[DeminPennswoods]

31. I enjoy her show a lot

The discussion is diverse and respectful. And, she asks really good questions and follow-ups. I'm sure she's still at least right of center, but she seems to listen and engage thoughtfully.

[uponit7771]

37. She's country over party but still doesn't see how the GOP has incubated Red Don for 30yrs

[trueblue2007]

40. I like Nicole alot !!!

[Demsrule86]

43. I actually like her...I remember the movie with Wood Harrelson...about Palin...Nicole didn't vote

McCain because she couldn't due to Palin on the ticket...she worked for his campaign. That takes guts.
