I really like Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show

[oregonjen]

She doesn’t mince words, she allows her guests to speak their minds and she’s a straight shooter. Along with Rachel Maddow, those two really are must see tv.

[leftyladyfrommo]

1. I like her too. nt

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. So do I. Her guests are usually great, too.

[chillfactor]

3. watch her and Rachel every week day....great programs! n/t

[Leghorn21]

4. Totally agree here, jen- I appreciate how she giggles/laughs at the most awful things (within

reason, of course) - I switched from recording Ari Melber to her a couple weeks ago...no regrets!

[oregonjen]

7. Her laughs and smiles throughout her program keep me sane!

[MBS]

23. YES!

Agree on Ari, too. Haven't been watching him as much lately.

[kstewart33]

57. She and her guests have a conversation.

She gives her guests time to speak and others to respond. They know that so they don't aggressively interrupt for more air time.

Very effective. And you're right, Leghorn - she has a healthy sense of humor.

[Different Drummer]

5. It has become my "must-not-miss" show on MSNBC. n/t

[hlthe2b]

6. She isn't afraid to show her outrage. It makes me crazy that so many refer to horrific things as

NORMAL (that Trump and his ilk are doing and saying daily)

[iluvtennis]

19. +++ agree. She has grown on me. DVR it each weekday. Nt

[Vinca]

8. We never miss it. I love it when John Heileman is on as he is today.

[Kahuna7]

79. I love J Heil...Except when he's mean to Donny D.

[Qutzupalotl]

9. I agree...however...

part of the reason I like her is she’s a never-Trumper, but she is a Republican. So once Trump is gone, she will go back to being adversarial to Democrats, and I’ll go back to not watching daytime TV.

[oregonjen]

10. I've thought about that, too

However, she has seen her party fall in line behind this mobster. It’s got to make her wonder where her party went.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. She's said a few times that she will vote

for whoever the Dem presidential candidate is in 2020. I don't know that she's a registered Dem yet, but she sure seems to be 100% disgusted with the GOP and what it has become.

[lark]

21. So right

She still thinks very highly of GW, so that tells us a lot about her. When drumpf is gone, I doubt I will watch her again as she will go back to being Ms. Establishment Repug.

[calimary]

73. I can't help but suspect that's how she's gonna go.

Maybe voting Dem next time because of trump, but reverting back to the CONS team once the nightmare’s over.

[mulsh]

11. I've been watching since her first show. She has quickly grown into a fine host. I wish they could

broadcast or post the banter between commercials on line. She keeps hinting how amusing and filthy their language is. Coming from neighboring Orinda, CA via CAL, as so many of my friends did, I have no trouble imagining Ms. Wallace in less guarded moments.

Also I've rarely herd her refer to our party as anything but the democratic party.

She has more than made up for helping to inflict caribou barbie on our unsuspecting world.

[Jane Austin]

14. I agree with you all.

She seems like ones neighbor, except smarter and better informed.

She never makes a mistake on facts. She has always already checked them.

And as someone who also smiles while she talks, I appreciate that, too.

I'm watching today's show right now.

[Hamlette]

17. I'm a fan girl too

I have read almost all of the books by Republicans who hate/disagree with Trump and so many of them still dis the democrats. Nicole does not. She often says on her show she will vote for any democrat or their car or bus if she has to in 2020. I've never heard her take a cheap shot at a dem.

She also has smart guests and as was mentioned up thread, lets them talk.

Watch Game Change. Her character is great in that movie. (Spoiler alert: she hates Palin).

The only other Republican who I've not heard trash Dems since they started dissing Trump and republicans in Max Boot. His book is the best because of that IMHO.

Finally, I want to add that some Republicans stay on our side once they become pissed at their party. My Dad was the only republican in our extended family and took a ton of shit for it over the years (good natured, we loved him after all, he was a great guy) but he had a beef with Reagan, left the GOP and ended up further left than any of us. And stayed there for 20 years. It can happen.

[Trumpocalypse]

12. Rumor has it

that the top brass at MSNBC are overjoyed with Wallace. They would love to move her show to a later hour but she refused because the current time slot lets her have dinner with her children.

[tishaLA]

25. Too bad she won't move to a later time, although I understand why

I keep thinking she'd be great in Tweety's time slot, She'd be a perfect, smart lead-in to prime time. Heck, she'd be great in Chris Hayes's time slot, too

[LiberalFighter]

40. I'm glad she is where she is.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be enjoying watching her. For me, I watch Rachel and Lawrence. I might watch Hayes and Matthews but only from 6:30 to 7:30. Then from 8 to 9 I usually watch CBS.

[renate]

42. I'm glad to hear that they love her

I do too.

I assume they'll continue to love her as her kids get older and maybe she can accept a more prime-time slot. She's excellent... smart, appealing, funny, frank... it's a pleasure to watch her.

[trueblue2007]

13. Nicole is awesome.

[Pepsidog]

15. I wonder if I will still like her with a Democratic President.

[FiveGoodMen]

16. Let's hope you get the chance to find out

[TeamPooka]

36. That's what she wants too. She has pledged on air to vote for whomever the Democratic candidate is

in 2020

[DeminPennswoods]

20. Her show is really good

She has good guests, lets them talk and spurs real discussions. She's a very good interviewer as well, asks great questions, knows her stuff and doesn't take BS for answers.

[MBS]

22. Me, too.

Great guests, open attitude, straight talk, buoyed by good humor. She might even be my favorite right now.
(I love Rachel, too; but 9 pm is a bad time slot for me; I usually have to wait for the videos)

[kentuck]

24. At least we know she is sane...

She is against Trump.

[Cryptoad]

26. If they would onhly get rid of,,,,

Steve Cornkacky,,,,, what a GOP tool!

[Lonestarblue]

31. Absolutely agree!

I kept the TV on after Nicole’s show, and he just tried to skewer Joe Biden’s representative by asking the same question over and over. She smiled and handled it well by refusing to play his game, but it was obvious that he was trying to make a big deal about Biden’s change on the Hyde Amendment—as if people aren’t allowed to change their stances when circumstances change as they have with the many clinics that red states have closed over the past couple of years. Then he moved onto partial birth abortion. There is no such term in the medical community! An intact removal of the fetus is done to avoid possible damage to the woman. I turned the TV off when he started talking about whether Biden had any red lines and would he support third trimester abortions, another Republican myth because such abortions are not whims. They are for the health or life of the mother or because the fetus has severe abnormalities and cannot sustain life.

No MSNBC host should be spreading Republican lies. MSNBC needs to find a better substitute host. He’s a disaster and I won’t watch him.

[Cryptoad]

37. CBS fired hime for being too Conservative,,,,

and Ill be damn , M$NBC hires him.......geeez

[TeamPooka]

38. Take heart in knowing Kornaki will never get the Hardball slot when Matthews retires.

Brian Williams will take it instead.

[Rebl2]

49. Seemed like

he used to lean more toward Democrats. He went after Chris Christy hard over bridge-gate.

[Erda]

27. I love her show!

I think she's great. (Also, Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow and Brian Williams are "must see" for me.)

[renate]

43. there aren't enough hours in the day!

I never miss Rachel and I almost never miss Brian Williams. He gets some criticism here sometimes, but I don't understand why. I like his dry humor and he his criticisms of what's going on under this administration are heartfelt, even if (because of his dry delivery) it's not always glaringly obvious. And I record Nicolle Wallace because she has become must-see TV for me in the past few months.

[DeminPennswoods]

69. Deadline:WH is now on Comcast On Demand

They added it and Melber's show, but still not Hayes or O'Donnell.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

28. I'll pass...

She was Caribou Barbie's handler and she was dumb as a box of rocks on The View.
Just because she is a blonde, white woman who doesn't like Trump just puts her in the same cartel as S.E. Cupp, Jennifer Rubin and then to a lesser degree, Bill Kristol, George Conway and the rest of these radical rightwing pundits who change their tunes just to stay on the charts.
Ms. Wallace is guided by ratings and sponsors, not by any deeply held political view or moral compass.
(Whew...rant over...) She is pleasant to watch and her hair looks good.

[Hekate]

48. Palin was foisted on Nicolle. If you can't be bothered to read Game Change, see the movie. ...

It was a match made in Hell, and Nicolle has made no bones about it.

NW admired McCain, worked for McCain, but was assigned to do a makeover on Sarah Palin and it just could not be done.

Nicolle ended up not voting for John McCain at all, because of Sarah Palin. Period.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

61. Sorta Spicer-like there...

[Hekate]

62. No

[Empowerer]

65. Truth

[Hamlette]

51. and you know all of this how?

tell me how it all ended up with Nicole and Palin? I don't watch the view so I have no opinion on how dumb she might have been and you must not watch her show or you wouldn't be making these accusations.

and your closing remark pisses me off no end. Hope you enjoy your short time here.

[Empowerer]

64. "She is pleasant to watch and her hair looks good"

Really?!

[czarjak]

29. She's seems to be fine with W's lies.

[SHRED]

32. She helped cover for that war criminal

And still adores him.

[Raine]

87. Agree

I have no use for her. Wallace hates Trump but at heart is a republican and always will be, wait till an "acceptable" republican becomes president and see her go running back to the fold.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Yes, I like her a lot, and she always has a good panel.

I watch her show whenever possible, and then switch the channel when Chuck Todd comes on. Right now he's off and his sub is Steve Kornacki, who IMO is even worse.

[lunatica]

44. Chuck Todd is a major turnoff for me

So much so that I don’t watch MSNBC until he’s finished. It means I miss Nicole Wallace who I think is doing a good job until the next Republican she falls for. But it’s just as well. I’m trying to stay away from all the punditry. I come here to DU instead.

[Funtatlaguy]

33. She's great. Wish she'd completely switch to Dem.

[SHRED]

34. Not sure about the depth of her morals and character

She strikes me as an opportunist.
After all, she helped cover up and smooth over for war criminals W & Cheney and still admires them.

True and dedicated leftists are few and far between on the airwaves sadly.

[watoos]

45. She comes across as genuine to me.

I think she is better than Rachel.

[SHRED]

86. Better than Rachel?

In what way?

[Trumpocalypse]

46. She also refused to vote for McCain in 08

because of Palin. She put country over her party and her own personal ambition.

[Hamlette]

54. right, and people are incapable of change

which is why we still have slavery here in the US and women can't vote.

And the Democrats are the racists, everyone knows that.

[StarfishSaver]

66. I dealt with her when she was working for McCain and she was really cool

Easy to work with, respectful and on top of her stuff. I liked her a lot even though I knew her politics were nowhere near mine.

[MontanaMama]

35. Nicolle Wallace was a recent guest

on Chuck Rosenberg’s podcast, The Oath. She was great to listen to. She’s had a varied career and has learned from her experiences and mistakes. I find her credible and likable. Rosenberg’s podcast guests have all been riveting, btw.

[oregonjen]

67. Thanks for the reminder to listen to his podcast. Been meaning to give it a try.

[MontanaMama]

68. It's excellent.

I’ve been binge listening to Chuck. It a fascinating guest demographic.

[elfin]

39. She is also a novelist - political novels of course

Look her up in Amazon books.

She is my favorite. I love the way she interacts with her panel. Will hate to lose her if the likes of Kasich gains steam. But I think she has crossed over to "us" ---- unless we get way too far left.

[rockfordfile]

41. She's is a war criminal just like bush.

[watoos]

47. She went there again today

Asked about what’s wrong mentally/physically with Trump. Heillman talked about how 15 years ago Trump spoke lucidly but now he can’t speak in complete sentences.

[Glimmer of Hope]

50. She is always asking her guests what is wrong with Trump. She needs to know!

[wasupaloopa]

52. I like her too. Hers is the only day time show I watch

[Hekate]

53. I'm glad to see her gaining traction here, as I've been urging folks to watch her for awhile...

Took me awhile to get used to her, but as I suspected the giggle and continual smile were just early nerves and she's more natural now. I was mistaken to peg her as only a pretty face. Based on her history with Palin, I knew she had character. Based on her history with MSNBC, she has developed into a really good journalist with intelligent panelists.

She comes on here at 1:00, and I make sure to record her and Rachel.

[ancianita]

55. She's brilliant -- sharply focused, defies all attempts to normalize anything about our situation.

I tune in to her every day.

Nicole, Ari, Rachel and Lawrence are the best analysts on TV.

[Peacetrain]

56. We have been watching her program lately

She does a really good job!

[Olafjoy]

58. Love Her!

She calls out BS. Stopped repeating ridiculous tweets a long time ago. Her, Rachel, and Joy are my squad.

[Gothmog]

59. I also really like this show

[Mike Nelson]

60. I like her and her show...

… very much. I am aware of her GWB and Palin support - but she certainly voted for Hillary Clinton and will vote for the next Democratic President. She has warm feelings for Bush, but I doubt she admires Chaney or Palin anymore.

… oh, I noticed the language on today's show... multiple uses gets the show fined, I think... she did apologize at the end.

[Empowerer]

63. She is really good

[R B Garr]

70. We do too! She is very likeable. Very realistic grasp on

the GOP.

[dogman]

71. She's a propagandist for the gop.

Her show is interesting because she promotes the never-trumpers, and we all hate him. We just have to keep in mind that she is trying to keep the gop relevant. Like Rick Wilson, who keeps urging the Democrats to pick the most gop solutions. I'm a never goper.

[kentuck]

72. I don't agree.

I think she is on the front line in the battle against Trump and the criminals.

[rockfordfile]

74. She is a war criminal just like bush. knee deep in pushing the lies and corruption

[kentuck]

82. She wasn't making decisions about the war.

Nonsense.

[watoos]

76. The M$M is not our friend

but Nicolle is the best voice for the Democratic party on cable news.

People who bash her must not watch her show. I only watch Nicolle and Rachel and listen to Sirius.

[dogman]

77. So a gop spokesperson is the voice of the Democrats?

Absurd! We are not the gop, yet.

[watoos]

80. Ever hear the story of Saul and Paul?

[dogman]

81. Sure have, and don't buy that one either.

An anti-Christian took over the Christian church and inflicted his personal beliefs on Christianity. The first to drift from the teachings of Jesus to his own ideas. I guess it is a fitting analogy at that.

[MFGsunny]

75. K & R ... + 1,000,000 - It REALLY shows her chops as a former communication director! n/t

[Kahuna7]

78. She's a nice lady. And it comes across. nt

[padah513]

83. Yes

She has an incredible sense of humor. Loves to laugh.

[stonecutter357]

84. Nicolle Wallace is a war criminal / rwnj.....

[Sloumeau]

85. In my opinion, the best MSNBC hosts are...

Rachel Maddow
Nicole Wallace
Lawrence O'Donnell
Brian Williams
Chris Hayes
Katie Tur
Stephanie Ruhl
Joy Reid
Kasie Hunt

Most of the rest are OK. For example, Ali Velshi is OK. Ari Melber is OK.☺
Chuck Todd is horrible.
Chris Matthews needs work.
Kornacki is good with numbers but not good at hosting. ☺

[leftyladyfrommo]

88. She is so smart and so fast.

I love watching her in action.
