He'll have a partisan or two from different perspectives, a policy wonk, a politician. When he was doing "Up" they really used the time to dig down into the carpet fibers. I think Kornacki goes more for straight information, where Chris got into socio-political philosophies and so forth.

Rachel's fun when she gets someone she completely disagrees with on and politely zeroes in on exactly the point they're trying to sidestep, like getting Rand Paul to stare at his shoes rather than admit he would have opposed the Civil Rights Act.

The Nation really seems like a source of strong thinkers. I've been impressed with everyone I've seen coming out of there.
