BREAKING: NBC reportedly offered Satan a lucrative contract to serve as on-air political commentator.
The ruler of the underworld reportedly turned down the position, saying "I can't in good conscience work alongside Ronna McDaniel. When it comes to evil, even I have my limits."

Why pay her for a full time gig. When you want her opinion on how the operation and priorities of the RNC have changed since her departure (firing by Trump to install a senior campaign worker and daughter in law), pay her for her occasional appearance and related travel expenses.

his take on the current RNC...McDaniel is a Trump enabler and accomplice...desperate to hold on to her job (and stay out of Trump's crosshairs), she agreed to pay Trump's multi-million dollar legal bills nearly bankrupting the RNC..no money/no McDaniel..

McDaniel's hire is an affront to the integrity of any news outlet, let alone NBC

big surprise legacy media viewership is down and GenZ and millennials are turning to podcasts for their news and information...

for her to appear without contradicting Jones. I hope everyone (internal and external) keeps the pressure on to keep Ronna out.

They made a terrible, expensive mistake with Megyn Kelly, and apparently did not learn from it.

"understanding the Trump voter" articles and interviews, I'd say we already know how they think...we know they share a mutual hate for "the other"... and unless Ronna is willing to expose Trump's RNC grift, then she's just another NBC mistake...

It isn't about what Trump can do for them - or even about what Biden has. They vote against their own best interests because they prioritize what their candidate will do TO people they feel are less deserving than they.

She is insisting that she never thought the 2000 election was unfair, despite having said the opposite right after the election. She also refuses to acknowledge that she enabled TSF in pushing the Big Lie.

She's there to gaslight, not to inform.

Or worse, maybe they do.

In addition to his astute political observations, Donald could also provide expert analysis and commentary on NBC's other channels. He could share his financial acumen on CNBC, the SYFY Channel could be a platform for his conspiracies and fantasies, the criminal trials would make for good programming on the Oxygen Channel, and MSNBC's Joe and Mika could always find a spot for him on their morning panel.
