I don't dislike him. I generally walk away when Andrea "some say" Mitchell comes on, but I don't get a bad vibe from him. I felt he had no control of tonight's debate, but dealing with Donald is like herding cats. Lester looked ineffective.

I did like the way he did on-the-spot fact checking, and man, Donald doesn't know there's a thing called "Google."
