(1,428 posts)A lot of people poo poo the idea of Rachel because they say Republicans would refuse to come on. The reality is high profile Republicans would refuse to appear. The solution to that is simple. You just book Louie Gohmert week after week. "Here representing the Republican party....Louie Gohmert! Joining Gohmert, Todd Akin, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachman!"
The Republican leadership would eventually relent and start sending people who could at least appear sane for 10 minutes or so.
Of course this will never happen because NBC has no interest in quality journalism or informing the public. I predict the tired routine of Chuck "It's not my Job" Todd framing Republican talking points as questions to Democrats and my personal favorite, taking popularity polls based on Republican lies told all week and repeated in corporate media ad nauseam then asking Democrats why they are so unpopular with the American public.
