She is the Johnny Carson of political hosts - avoid controversy and lob softballs

He can't hold still and waving his arms around constantly, yikes. I had to open a new tab so I could listen but not watch. Being animated is one thing but e's hyperanimated and it's hard to impossible to watch.

I peeked in on the interview. It's poor body language when engaging with the public, it says he's all over the place with no guardrails.

I argue about climate change with the rednecks at the grain elevator on a weekly basis... people who pay a lot of attention to weather... and even the racist idiots have begin to see the writing on the wall on this issue.

12. I thought the interview was very informative and revealing.

It seems to me the interview had two main themes; scaling up his campaign from a statewide strategy to a national strategy and giving him an opportunity to respond to foreign policy and national security issues.

Rachel, asked her questions and just let him rip because she understands it's not what she says about a candidate. It's what the candidate says for him or herself in her own words.

I thought it was very helpful to voters and the general public.
