He knows more of the ins and outs of politics than anybody else on the network. He knows the nuts and bolts, and he has the best sources. He has a strong and varied history in politics. I like that he cuts off people of all political persuasions when they refuse to directly answer the question, or when they obfuscate. If his show goes, it will be a huge loss!
