Nicole Wallace's true colors showing after gushing for Obama

[redstateblues]

[Greywing]

1. She is really delusional

[Wounded Bear]

2. Yeah, she went full Repub with that commentary...

[Stinky The Clown]

3. She can be really, really nasty

[hrmjustin]

4. Steve Smith is schooling her now.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. The GOPers and their mouthpieces will be very defensive after this

because they know they got their butts kicked.

[Lefthacker]

6. Steve Schmidt

Once again Steve Schmidt is a voice of reason.
Totally disagreeing with Nicole Wallace.

[writes3000]

7. Yep. Nicole will never respond to Hillary. Onky if Hillary gave a conservative policy speech...

Would Nicole would have liked it.

[redstateblues]

8. She was waiting all week to do that

[napkinz]

9. she and Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie and Tom Brokaw panned the speech on NBC

and now she's doing the same on MSNBC

What speech were they listening to????

[madaboutharry]

12. What didn't they like?

[napkinz]

13. they said President Obama paved the way for her to appeal to Republicans dismayed with Trump

and that she blew it by espousing progressive ideas

Nicole said President Obama had swayed many Republicans last night and she lost them tonight.

[Cha]

17. Oh for crap sake.. that's all they could come up with.. Obama called out trump by name..

he wasn't playin.

[napkinz]

19. well you know they need to make sure the race remains competitive

so they can keep the ratings up

[woolldog]

15. Chuck Todd says it was more prose than poetry.

A workmanlike speech. Which is true. But he also said that Clinton was being herself which is important. Also said the speech was very progressive.

[napkinz]

16. Chuck Clod!

[pkdu]

29. Toad... " Hey -this grin could eat more shit if you like?" nt

[oldtime dfl_er]

30. TOOL

.

[Rose Siding]

10. She could have set herself up with Obama praise

-believing it would lend credibility when she slammed Clinton

I don't trust a thing she says

[RonniePudding]

11. Her take was completely off base

Lots of Repubs on Twitter are deeply concerned.

[whathehell]

14. Agree completely..

She seems to expect Repupublican Talking Points from a.Democratic candidate. Oh well.

[Thrill]

18. She's always low key loved

Obama. She never goes wacko on him.

[NurseJackie]

20. Dear Nicole...

[BigBoss26]

21. The criticism is pretty off the mark.

Then again, I think some of the over-the-top praise the speech is getting on here is also kind of off the mark. As ever, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. I wouldn't characterize it as a "great" speech but I thought she did well. Speeches/bluster aren't really her strength. Intelligence/grasp of the issues is her strength and that comes out better in a low-key setting.

Also, if I'm being honest, I just really couldn't care less about speech giving abilities. I mean, they don't really tell you anything about how a person will govern. It just tells you that they're very good at looking natural while reading a teleprompter. Charisma doesn't hold a lot of sway with me.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

22. Except that we already know how Hillary will govern because she has a history of doing so.

Welcome to DU! :wave:

[BigBoss26]

23. Absolutely.

Track record, intelligence and temperament mean a lot more to me than being a convincing performer.

[rockfordfile]

24. She's a republican idiot

They wonder why MSNBC ratings are low. Having a former bushco employee on to speak about Democratic Convention. Americans know that bushco was one of the worst Presidents in history.

[blue neen]

25. Wallace's remarks were ludicrous and disgusting.

Ugh.

Why on earth would she expect Hillary to give a speech that appeals to Conservatives? Hillary is a Democrat. It's the Democratic
Convention! WTF?

[MFM008]

26. I missed what she said

but she was bustling to say it im sure.

[YOHABLO]

27. do you have a link?

[asiliveandbreathe]

28. Nichol Wallace has no credibility afa i am concerned

To think she was part of the team who almost (well within 3 million votes or so) of putting Palin within earshot of the presidency - as well as steve Schmidt....are you shitting me...no credibility - she could tell me the sky is blue and I wouldn't believe her..pathetic know nothing..nada zilch

[Bluestar]

31. Some producer told her (and Rachel) to say something negative

as they were being too positive. Like Rachel criticizing Bill's speech last night. MSNBC is trying desperately to get more FOX viewers.
