MTP so much better with Andrea Mitchell

MTP was so much better today with Andrea. She did a great job with the interviews, and her Sally Yates interview was flawless! It really makes you realize how much the host matters. Chuck Todd would have let the GOP clown run over him, and done his "both siderism" for the whole show like always. Andrea hit a home run as guest host in my opinion.

1. Chuck Toad is a backstabbing a'hole which is why I think he actually has a running admiration

for Trump. While I'd never say David Gregory was particularly good as MTP host, it was damned clear that Todd was emphatically working behind the scenes to push him out. I see several of the regular and fill-in MSNBC hosts literally kissing his butt--I guess we know why.

She threw Hillary under the bus too many times for me to be comfortable watching her.. just like Todd. They both need to roll over to Faux news.

Interesting to hear she did a good job on Todd's show.

I never watch either of them.

I added her to my do not watch list during the 2016 campaign. She perfected her eyerolling whenever she talked about Hillary, it was so obvious.

I remember Mitchell talking to another newscaster who said something like "many women are excited about Clinton being our first female president" to which Mitchell gave a pained look & said "not all of us" ... live on the air.

Her disdain for Clinton was blatantly obvious. I will never forgive her for that.

Sometimes during the week, there is an apparent (to me)vibe of jealousy coming from him during the handoff with Nicole. She is much smarter than he is and a better interviewer. I don't know whether the ratings go down after her show, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Now the network is pumping the "Toddcast" - trying to pump him up?

Andrea Greenspan is my third least favorite on MSNBC. I can sometimes abide her.
