Chris Cuomo actually kicked ass..

tonight all the way to Pluto.. I am one of those who for at least 10 yrs have constantly posted how the Media allows Repubs to go on and on and on lying and lying and lying..

Watch this.. Chris Cuomo ( who I've criticized before) many times... Just devastated 2 Repubs who are experts on lying and getting away with it.. Tonight it did not work! ( Gish Gallop ) look it up.

I was laughing while watching those segments because I knew it would be crickets here. Cuomo is so quick and sharp it is unbelievable. There is no way Rachel could have pulled off interviews like that. She'd be too busy with lengthy gotcha questions that don't accomplish anything other than short circuiting the program. Cuomo, on the other hand, respects the subject and makes them feel comfortable enough to appear, but then zaps every point they are trying to make, with superior memory and grasp of facts.

I did think he allowed Lewandowski too much leeway in pretending he meant no disrespect with the "womp womp" comment, but if Cuomo leads with that and essentially calls Lewandowski a liar, none of the other topics are reached.

Besides, it wasn't necessary. That clip defines itself.

his exchanges with OBVIOUS liars last WAY too long. He let's them go on and on. Yes, he argues back, but after a while, the truth gets lost because it goes on for so long. That's not helpful to people who may not have caught on to how much the GOP and trump's spokespeople lie.

Two people can be good at their jobs at the same time and she unquestionably is. Even though you know how to do her job better than she does.

I like the way he tries to nail jello down and the jello has to wiggle out of answering! Hilarious. He really makes them squirm without being aggressive. He's very likeable! But ya don't have to cut Rachel down, just change the channel. Her show is entirely different in that it does deep dives into things, whereas Chris is refreshingly different in that he doesn't do the panel of talking heads thing; he interviews topical people and he's really good at it. That being said, his show is up against two ratings juggernauts (Maddow & Hannity), and somebody has to come in 3rd. I hope it runs for a long time!
