When Nancy Pelosi is Speaker, I expect her to be treated exactly the same as the current office holders.

There is such a thing as common courtesy. Yes, Trump may not be deserving of it, but for the most part, most of our gov't officials are.

MSNBC is owned by General Electric, a MASSIVE defense contractor...same reason the minute tRump opens his mouth anywhere, anytime, about anything, they put him on the air...

AND...same reason 1/3 of the people you see on MSNBC are Republicans or claim to be "reformed Republicans" (although they never say they became Democrats), MSNBC needs right wingers instantly available for "insightful" commentary from the "good people on both sides".
