Although Kellyanne Conway was clearly in over her head, I thought Rachel went soft on her. "Searing" was not how I would describe it at all.

I think Rachel was setting up Trump to come on her show. If she had overwhelmed Kellyanne, it would never happen. Trump would be too afraid to come on. In his ego driven mind, he must be led to believe he'll get the better of Rachel. That's when the fun will begin. At least, I hope so.

He has retreated to the safety of the Fox noise bunker of the duration. Her time would have been better spent actually living up to the title of this thread. To be honest, I thought Rachel underperformed.

Rachel Maddow list her edge long ago

is considered "searing". It's just not done.

But why is she treating him like a normal candidate anyway?

why is anyone?! NPR is terrible in this respect. don't they know they'll have blood on their hands? at this point they already do because his rabid minority will not take losing well.

... She didn't seem to know a lot about her candidate. Lots of "I don't know" in there. Rachel just kept plugging away.

It was like the questions were pre staged and answered with no hard facts, but were full of rhetoric. Probably, it is the only way the interview was going to happen, agreed on before? MSNBC trying to get more ratings? If Trump should ever agree to an interview, it will be more of the same BS! This the problem with to much media coverage. We have heard all the talking points for the past year and it is becoming old news for the most part.

They were abandoning their "Lean Forward" progressive friendly stance. They are now "Leaning Right" just like the rest of the entertainment/news on the TV.

You lost me. This wasn't FOX!

What a tap dancer!

She is another who attempts to control the conversation with non stop talking and interruptions.

Still, she sounded more sane than tRump!

Repubs are very good at using this tactic...And Left leaning pundits are not very good at stopping them.
See it over and over and over again..

She is a very smooth liar and Rachel let her know that mild regret statement wasn't enough.

Kellyanne is a great appointment by Trump because she's speaking to suburban white women to help them pretend it doesn't matter that he linked up with the racist Breitbart gang.

Kellyanne had to pivot to criticizing Hillary when she couldn't answer Rachel's questions.

She was a very smooth liar.

When you see it.. It really bugs the crap of you.. Non stop talking points which never seem to end..mixed with 10% truth and 90% Bullshit...

The thing which is frustrating? The fact that the interviewer does not know to handle it 95% of the time..

Unfortunately the different words do not describe the same policy but rather it`s opposite

Different words, samey same As if antonyms are synonyms because I say so

The Trump campaign is semantically challenged to the point, I believe, that they don`t know what they are saying from one minute to the next

They are as delusional as they are cynical

Give it a rest.

The MSM has provided him and his minions unrestricted access to spew their propaganda totally unchallenged. I am totally perplexed when they interview the token Black or Hispanic and allow them to spew their support of a person who represents a party that has striven to suppress their vote with unfounded claims that they are combating voter fraud. Time and time again I have suffered through watching these travesties in which the MSM reviewer doesn't offer even a hint of condemnation of outright lies. The Fourth Establishment is nothing more than a sham. A total complete failure.

she sure could not answer on anything with what that substance was. Not one particular thing. And her most constant phrase was "I don't know".

She'd let Conway dig a hole, and then gently push her into it.

A great example was the "extreme vetting" segment. Basically, Rachel got Conway to say that Trump's "extreme vetting" was just like the "Red scare" from decades ago ... and Conway fell for it because she had no idea what it was.

If you watch the interview closely, you can see this pattern repeat. It was more subtle than searing.

And by not crushing Conway like a bug ... Rachel keeps the potential for a visit from Don the con open. If she crushed her, Donny could claim victim status.

must have seen a different interview then the one I saw!
