Rachel presents her segments in a manner that leaves the viewer informed, seeking more. She is intelligent, respectful of her guests, and is well liked.

That has to unnerve Trump to no end.

She gets into too much detail for him to follow.

She doesn't back down.

There has been times when she walked up to the line and took a look and stopped short of saying it.

a lapdog for the Bush family.
Fortunately she is a well known never Trumper, but she cheered on that illegal Iraq war and I don't plan to forget that. And I don't remember her condemning the birthers either.

Of turning the sow’s ear into a silk purse? She and Steve Schmidt who was McCain’s campaign manager.

about her. McCain was losing , they were desperate and thought having a woman on the ticket will help get HIllary supporters.

they did their best to fool us.

I’ll admit both seem to be decent people now, but they have to live with how far they were willing to go to win. Not voting for the person you promoted with all your might doesn’t exactly translate well. They had already done the damage.

Yet I think they are mostly decent people who have a lot of intelligence and political knowledge. But they do come with that caveat.

Gotta call 'em like I see 'em.

Not picking on them, though, as the entire MSM was complicit in that circus and the McCarthyism that followed any criticism during that period.

and she does bring up her Bush connections a lot. I do like her delivery though. She has a soothing voice to me and with Chump in charge, this is important. She's calm, respectful, and rarely interrupts. We shall see if this changes with our next Dem President.

... so he gets to effectively choose his own opponents.

He won't go near Rachel, because she's WAY out of his league.

She'll chew him up and spit him out.

And he damn well knows it.

So he tries to pick fights with CNN instead.

I knew that her ratings had gone to the very top when she was covering the Russia investigation.

And she exposed a lot.

Trump doesn't criticize her very much? He doesn't want her ratings to go even higher.
