Nicole Wallace on MSNBC keeps asking

how do the candidates and press counter act the malarkey of Rump....well start with your show; Nicole's first 20 minutes was Rump and his debacle last night...why not start with all the other news first and cover that story last. I know she was sickened by yesterday, but don't start your program with this, or start, but with the candidates speaking about what happened and then 2nd or 3rd show the video of Rump. A simple change like that will go a long way. I know I can miss the first 20 minutes because the real stories I want are later in the program.. Just my view.

them not really coming out against the chant. They basically were giving Trump the ammunition he was looking for from his antics of last night and saying that the Dems lacked guts - he has the courage of his convictions - even if it is wrong - and that will give him a second term. They practically re-elected Trump right there on her show.

... I love Nicole Wallace. You are right, her show seems to focus on Trump criticism, and I think she is uniquely qualified to do that. She was Communications Director for George W. Bush and is extremely funny and witty. I appreciate her Trump-slamming... Other show/shosts on MSNBC focus on other things, but Nicole does this well... And, that's why I watch her. Of course, I watch other MSNBC shows, too. They each have their formula.

she and her guests, particularly Jason Johnson who seems to be on most days and does a majority of the talking, despairing about how badly the Dems are doing, cowards as named by Johnson. So they don't want the traitor re-elected but are doing their best to help him by kicking around and defaming the Dems for a good part of the hour.

Fed up with it today I called 212-664-4444 and asked to be connected to MSNBC which got me to the comment line where I was given a choice of buttons to push for the different shows. I chose 8, said my comment was for the Nicole Wallace show and let it rip.

I was listening and 3/4 through the show she FINALLY mentioned that Epstein was denied bail.

I did like the point that one of her guests made when they were talking about the crowd chanting "send her back" as a response to the racist rapist's, "Leave, go back". He said that the moron's original chant was putting the "leaving the US" up to the individual citizen while the "Send her back" gave the citizen has no choice/free will. That is scary!!!!!!!

she showed clips from Obama at funeral dissing hate and singing amazing grace, and bush dissing racist hate .

I think showing this was very powerful to counter the hate trump is instigating. it showed such a contrast
from what we have today ..

what she can do better as the host of her show. Maddow, I think, has the best approach. She just deals with the facts and what Trump et al are doing.
