anyone notice Rachel's glee over Hillary in Ohio.......she was saying Bernie almost

[a kennedy]

guaranteed a win and early polls are indicating way to close to call, and that should make the Hillary team feeling pretty good.

[JaneyVee]

1. Whats going on in Ohio?

[LuvLoogie]

10. Ohio crossovers don't want the state to go to Trump They are shoring up Kasich instead?

[Armstead]

2. Rachel's glee is becoming increasingly annoying

I guess an exorbitantly high salary does that to a person.

[a kennedy]

9. and even Brian Williams...... ugh......I'm doing CNN now....will switch back and forth....eom

[Armstead]

12. I have the sound down....I hate listening to election night

[bettyellen]

17. I think she has always been geeky- excited during election coverage. That is just how she is.

It's funny because people read so much into it, but I think she just likes the process- the spectacle. She seems to love close races, and always emphasizes how inspiring they can be- because your vote mattered more!

[Matariki]

24. I think you're correct.

Rachael clearly favors democrats but seems pretty even handed to me.

[bettyellen]

32. True, she obviously gives the GOP a harder time. I have seen her critical of both Hillary and

sanders, and positive for both as well. Honestly I have seen people here saying she is a sellout for talking about polling that did not favor Sanders. That's getting a little ridiculous.
She loves a tight race. I would not be surprised if she favored Sanders at all, but tries to keep her personal preferences out of it.

[Skid Rogue]

29. Agree with you 100%

She gets really hyper at the very thought of an election.

I would like to think her enthusiasm means she's a Hillary supporter and Hillary's doing well tonight, but that would be wishful thinking.

[bettyellen]

53. She gets excited when she gets to educate people with an interesting report too!

She obviously loved her job, and her enthusiasm can be really infectious.

[Hekate]

43. That's our Rachel, all right. She'd be the same if it were reversed. nt

[bettyellen]

46. to a certain extent, her delivery is empathetic to match the story- like she was just talking about

Rubio's big failure in Florida, and how he might drop out of the race. She was "appropriately" sober- if not somber, because she is not mean spirited. I think when she relates positive news for someone, she is more upbeat- and moat of all for Dems. But Iowa had her so giddy till the end- she loves a very tight race.

[one_voice]

51. This^^

[onecaliberal]

3. I don't know what drug rachel is on but just last night she said Hillary was going to win Ohio.

Even if it's close. Hillary was 30 points UP, a week ago. Bernie closed the gap after MI.

[CajunBlazer]

37. So....

Why would you be satisfied if Bernie just came close in Ohio (regardless how much he has closed the gap) when he really has to win in all of the remaining states BIG to come close to catching Hillary. Close isn't going to cut it any more.

Even close wins are not going to cut it.

[JonLeibowitz]

41. Your post is completely nonresponsive to the post you are replying to.

I suggest reading more carefully before responding.

[CajunBlazer]

45. I suggest you make friends with reality

[JonLeibowitz]

50. Huh? Your post had nothing to do with what you were replying to.

That is a fact and stands alone whatever "reality" is.

[Albertoo]

54. As of now, Hillary is 23 points up in OH

[Jackie Wilson Said]

4. Ohio shows zero reporting on the NYT link.

If Rachel showed a positive attitude reporting about Bernie, there would be no discussion here so this criticism is meaningless.

[jberryhill]

6. Exit polling

[Jackie Wilson Said]

13. Oh, good thing it isnt good for Bernie at which point Rachel I am sure would show

the same exuberance (in case some around here dont know, politics is like a drug to her, she would be excited no matter who won) for him.

Cant have that.

Then nobody here could whine about Rachel

[Armstead]

16. Nah, if she showed even handed reporting they'd be no criticism

[Jackie Wilson Said]

19. Nonsense. Rachel shows exuberance no matter who she is talking about

[snowy owl]

25. So, is MSNBC demanding she "sell" Hillary at every opportunity?

I mean, since you think she's so even-handed...

[Jackie Wilson Said]

27. She will get no credit when due by some.

Kinda the way Obama never does by some.

[snowy owl]

38. She gets what she deserves IMO

[yourout]

5. I can't watch her....between the shilling and the redundant repeating it is unwatchable.

[amborin]

20. i never watch her any more; she's revealed her true self

[Jackie Wilson Said]

22. Under the fleet of buses she goes, then.

[pkdu]

34. ..and they say they are not for "Purity Tests"..

[longship]

52. Oprah! Bees are coming!

[snowy owl]

21. A bravo comment!

I can't watch her either.

[jberryhill]

30. It's not redundant repeating

Redundant repeating would be repeating that is redundant. Redundant repeating is more about the repeating than the redundancy. She doesn't redundantly repeat, but she is repeatedly redundant. Being repeatedly redundant is different from redundant repeating, because it is redundant but not repetitive.

Do you see this chimpanzee? In 1979 nobody believed an actor could be elected president. But this chimpanzee's co-star was a man named Ronald Reagan. And he wasn't just the first actor elected president, but he was also the first one with the same last and firs initials. His first name started with an R, for Ronald. And his last name ALSO started with an R, for Reagan. You see that? Both his names started with an R.

But that doesn't meant you could call him Reagan Ronald, because that would be backwards. The same thing happens with redundant repeating. Both start with an R, just like Ronald Reagan, but it's not the same thing as repeating redundancies.

[yourout]

33. Got it.....she says shit over and over and over.

[jberryhill]

35. And then gives a quiz at the end of the week

I'm surprised her show doesn't have a break for nap time.

[Blue_In_AK]

44. It's the redundancy that turns me off.

She talks to us like we're all in elementary school. I got it the first time, okay?

[NCTraveler]

7. I'm feeling pretty good, thanks.

I would also be feeling good if it was the other way. I beginning to think it's more about wanting other people to feel like shit.

[bettyellen]

8. Are you saying she is backing Bernie- or just her usually geeky-excitable self? I have seen people

confuse her high spirits with support- often. Seems to me she could go either way, Hill or Bernie.

[a kennedy]

15. Yah, her high spirits about Hillary possibly winning. JMHO...... eom

[bettyellen]

23. but she said Bernie was almost guaranteed a win, or that Hillary would take it?

I am honestly confused. But have noticed in the past that Maddow LOVES close races. She gets giddy.

[a kennedy]

31. I could have misunderstood her glee but it sounded to me like she as saying Hillary

was going to be happy with the results.

[bettyellen]

36. I am still a little confused, I know she cheerleads for all the Dems, yeah.

But I have seen her literally go out of her mind on squeaker races, she really gets over excited.

[snowy owl]

18. You don't really watch her do you?

she's been so pro=Hillary I can't watch anymore = not that I did much anyway. But I used to try at least.

[bettyellen]

26. Not a lot lately, but the bits I have seen about Sanders were positive and fair. I generally like

her. It seems to me that she gets awfully giddy during elections and people read all sorts of crap into it.

[valerief]

11. I have al-Jazeera on for primary news. nt

[snowy owl]

14. Her "glee" gets old with me.

That's partly why I can't watch her. I think a lot of good democrats who would have chosen Bernie crossed over to Kasich and I can't figure out why. I wonder what his ads in Ohio looked like and what they emphasized. Vote me or you get trump?

[AtomicKitten]

28. Nate's site gives her a 95% chance of winning Ohio. WTF is Rachel talking about?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/primary-forecast/ohio-democratic/

[Cali_Democrat]

39. Rachel is so awesome

One of the best anchors on TV.

[brooklynite]

40. Unfair! Why can't I find a news anchor who reinforces my own opinions?

[snowy owl]

48. I'm sure there's one out there that will if you desire that kind of media.

[book_worm]

42. Great!

[Jitter65]

47. If Hillary just keeps it close in IL and OH it will be a good as a win for her. nt

[dubyadiprecession]

49. Rachel Maddow hypnotized me to vote for hillary...

with her big brown puppydog eyes!
