OP
I also like Chris Hayes and Lawrence, but I agree that prime time ratings will suffer without Rachel

This is all being very weirdly handled. I hope she returns soon and back in prime time. (Nt)

(7,694 posts)1. So instead of MSNBC evening news
I will be watching movies instead. Think both Chris' and Lawrence's viewing numbers will suffer wthout Rachel there. I am sorry but I feel betrayed by Rachel. I will never get so wrapped up again in another program like I did hers. .

I think that's the reason she was allowed this hiatus, they definitely want her back! And I agree that she is usually the one with the breaking news and most important stories of the night, she has a crack staff, presents the most complicated issues with such clarity that viewers can understand them and she attracts the players to her show. But at least we know that she will be back!

But she will be sorely missed.
