1. Watching it now

I saw the bulk of the program live earlier.

Nicole was shaky reading the opening setup piece. I saw that referenced in the other thread. Didn't sound like it was written for her, or that she had much input.

Once it switched to questions and answers she was much more relaxed and effective. That's her style.

4. I love how Steve is being termed "EX GOP stategist"

or "former GOP strategist". He is proud of his new found, clear minded position. I also love how Chuck Rosenberg said that Rudy's statement (which is being repeated by the moron non stop today) that "collusion is not a crime under the law" is like saying a bank robbery isn't a crime since the term "bank heist" isn't in law books either.

5. I noticed that Don and Chris are doing a negative/positive

thing off of each other. I don't know if this is set up and being scripted by CNN or if Don is being a realist and Chris is being "look at the sunny side" guy.

6. Rachel has an exceptional research staff. She delivers.

Cuomo is an excellent interviewer. Don Lemon is an amiable host/moderator, but gets to many misfits on his discussion panels. Steve Cortes types aren't worth bothering with.

8. The others are gone just as much, but we don't miss them half as much because

they're not at the same level as Rachel, who is doing it 5 nights a week. Even Stephen Colbert records 2 shows on a Thursday to have Friday night off. Rachel is only human !

9. It was a terrible show

The opening segment was OK, but then it descended into inane conversations. "Is Trump trying to lose the House?". Huh?

Nonsense topics and they didn't cover the Murray Waas article.
