"Lies! Lies! Lies!" Nicolle Wallace takes a page from Mark Slackmeyer during Watergate...


Nicolle just ripped up her pages and threw them in the air shouting "Lies! Lies! Lies!" Bless her sweet heart -- it reminded me so much of Doonesbury doing Watergate, when Mark pounds on his desk shouting "Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!"

Nicolle Wallace since January of 2017. So glad she has morphed into a Edward R. Morrow. And today, she is burning her own Party down. And doing it with Facts.

...sat there in the dark and the ashes after Trump's apocalyptic speech talking about the Constitution and democracy and the republic -- Steve literally choked up.

I could tell they felt they were at the deathbed of the Party they had served, and quite possibly that of our republic. As a consequence I have followed their progress as commentators with interest ever since.

and their Body Language as well as the inflection in their speaking was scary. Within weeks of that night,Schmidt was in full bloom against his Party and their chose. Wallace gave it the old GOP try until her old White House Department turned into a Baghdad Bob operation.

You expect both Parties' candidates to say something meant to be uplifting, even if you disagree on certain principles. Something that indicates we are all Americans together. Not this.

And there they were, two of the GOP faithful, saying what I felt.

Looking at his Advisors and people around his Campaign,my Spouse and I just looked at one another and said,WTF was that.

From that point,everything we have seen or are seeing was what we were fearing would happen.

I think it started there. Trump is cut of the same cloth and they got to know Palin and her kind well. Watch Game Change.

I too stop what I'm doing to listen to Steve and always watch Nicolle. Having been there, they know of what they speak.

10. She is quietly laying the groundwork to convince deplorables to vote for Democrats.

It's very subtle what she does and how she does it... she's actually very good.

But she's basically pushing her Republican friends and guests to admit that the only way to stop Trump is to vote for the Democrats.
