Hallie Jackson hosting the noon show on MSNBC...

I kind of like her. Her reporting from the campaign trail has been pretty good, IMHO.

Maybe we're looking at the next generation of talking heads on MSNBC/ She and Katie Tur have both been breaths of fresh wind on the network.

but it has to have something "there" and they do. I adore George Clooney, who is also easy on the eyes, but his physical beauty is backed by a fine mind.

if the Trumplodytes don't like her.

Seriously, though, there were numerous times where she was in real fear when The Donald was whipping up the crowd about the media reps and pointing at the media pool area. The guy had no compunction about rousing the crowd, even if it put others in danger. Katy was a trooper, though, and was pretty professional about the whole thing.

From several of her reports on cam, I can tell she's not a fan of Trump.

At his last rally he mentined all the cameras in the back and that was enough to set off a chorus of loud "boos" from his audience.

No surprise that journalists he has called out by name, like Tur, bear the brunt of that hatred.
