I think Rachel is treating her like a celebrity. Very weak IMO. Trust Buster Aug 2016 #6

but as a campaign manager. What the heck did she mean about style. She totally discounts actual issues ...

Shame on Rachel for even giving this dame 10 minutes. Bad enough Tweety has Vampira of the North on. Rachel and Lawrence are all we have left on MSNBC.

This sounds like someone running the PTA. There is no depth. Kellyanne Conway is a pollster with no campaign management experience and it shows.

Rachel needs to stay serious.

obnoxious Rethugs to come on her program but I've gotten to the point that I can't watch her. Wish the Wicked Witch of the West had interviewed with Joy Reid instead. Now THAT would have been an interview to watch!

like it was a big deal. It was a kid-gloves interview. If you are best buddies with someone and you can't bring yourself to call them out on their BS, then don't have them on your show. I have always been a fan of Rachel, but this was sad.

Rachel isn't being particularly aggressive but she's being paced and staying with topics. I've said it before, Kellyanne is dangerous. She can give the appearance of being reasonable while lying like a cheap rug, playing the innuendo to the hilt and flipping to Hillary in order to deflect questions.

The two of them are doing an interesting media/campaign manager/woman to woman psychological dance, and I find it fascinating.

I'll wait and see what happens in the long term.

And they really get in the way of her delivering a solid interview of any high profile guest.

Same as it ever was.

She knows how to wait patiently for the fish to swim to the bait. She's working it just fine.

And after giving Kellyanne all that mic-time, most listeners will respond with "Huh?" And that, too, is quite informative.

And it was done, as Rachel pointed out, with no yelling.
