She just got lucky enough to get assigned to the Trump campaign early. Trump calling her out on a number of occasions didn't hurt.

She gets a lot of face time out of the Cheeto. I liked her, but I think she's just another one of the cocktail party set who is more concerned about her next White House invitation than actually getting to the facts. Sad.

It seems as though she's trying to find her niche in news reporting - her own style. She's all over the place at this point. Just my opinion.

she is contemptible when I heard her say in an NPR interview that she did not and does not vote, so that she can be objective. Oh, please.
