McCaskill's been invaluable during MSNBC's coverage

[tishaLA]

between her contacts in the senate and getting texts about what kind of intrigue is happening on the floor to talking about the minutiae of the senate's rules, she's added significantly to the coverage. I was always hard on her when she was in office, but she's really good at this.

[dchill]

1. I'll admit that, as well.

[2naSalit]

2. I'm impressed with her connections and willingness to share.

[madaboutharry]

3. She just said that after the election

that Lindsey Graham told her Trump was crazy.

The whole lot of them are sociopaths and sell outs. They make me sick.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Yes that resonates with me.

[NightWatcher]

4. And she can ID them by their bald spots too

[tishaLA]

5. That was hilarious

[Talitha]

6. I just love her spunk!

[malaise]

7. She just said that the fight is between moderate ReTHUGs

and The Con's goons

[KPN]

13. Fight? What fight? There are no moderate Rs.

The moderate Rs are Ds.

[madaboutharry]

20. She said that a number of republicans wanted to delay it so they

can make floor speeches trying to explain to their voters why they participated in the cover-up.

They are all jerks.

8. I'm more disappointed she lost now, she's been very straight forward and knowledgeable

[delisen]

9. How nice that she as found her true calling

and too bad she did not find it decades earlier.

[Midnight Writer]

10. A quibble. She should identify the Senators she is speaking about by their full name.

Pointing out Dianne or Dick and telling us what they are doing is confusing.

Lamar or Lindsey, OK, I can work with that, but who the hell is Laura?

[LisaM]

11. It was a shame she was voted out.

Pisses me off, actually.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

12. I'm finding her not as cautious and moderate as I had thought when she was a Senator

Now I think she was more liberal than I thought - she just wasn’t able to show that side when she was trying to keep her seat in Missouri.

[iluvtennis]

14. Agree - her insider insights have been enlightening. nt

[spanone]

15. she had senators on the floor texting her about the happenings...

[ancianita]

17. She's been intense; articulated new and important ideas about the Senate; appropriately emotional,

quick witted and oh snap! hilarious.

Her first six months, I wasn't impressed. But this country's trauma has brought out the best in her.

She's provides invaluable ideas outside MSNBC's broadcasting sphere, and easily challenges the legal knowledge of lawyers at the desk. I particularly liked how she was so liked by senator friends in post-session live interviews.

I've come to appreciate her so much for adding to discussions about the public and closed door governing of this country.

She's the kind of thoughtful leader you know is good for the country in tough times.

[JaneQPublic]

18. It seemed she scooped the reporters on the Senate floor...

...a time or two by getting texts from her Senator friends.

[Karadeniz]

19. I've looked forward to her comments and explanations...helpful, interesting.

[BigmanPigman]

21. Absolutely!

[alittlelark]

22. She is amazingly informative !!

I hope they r paying her VERY WELL !!!

[crickets]

23. Sharp, with a sharp wit. She's great. nt
