I address this especially to those who keep saying she is a fan of Trump? What part of Trump "slobbering" all over Kim do you not get?

It was hard to watch the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief stab our South Korean allies in the back, and fall to slobbering all over the demands of russia and china by fellating the NK murdering dictator.

(90,616 posts)...right here. There's several who keep expressing the "fake news" meme over and over and over with particular reference to some of the best on MSNBC. I'm sorry to say it, but they are carrying the Trump meme that NO news is to be trusted.
Edited to add: CNN is coming in for it here, too -- yet Trump is all over CNN with his contempt. Why the hell do we want to support Trump's propaganda that way?

About the ridiculous propaganda video: "Where are the freaking grownups? How did THAT happen?"

The film was not North Korean propaganda. It had been made in America, by or on the orders of his White House, for the benefit of Kim.
I hope you liked it, Trump told the reporters. I thought it was good. I thought it was interesting enough to show. ... And I think he loved it.
The crowd sounded skeptical. Some wondered if Trump had not, in fact, just provided U.S.-sanctioned propaganda to one of the country's oldest adversaries.

It is refreshing hearing how much she is irritated by him, from her admittedly Republican viewpoint.
It gives me a little hope.
Back in the day Republicans and Democrats did not demonize each other. We could disagree, vote different ways, but still be at least civil to each other.
I don't know when this super-polarization started. Was it when Obama was elected and the tea party went ballistic? Rush? I dunno when it started but I miss the days when we could have strong disagreements and still be friends.
Today's tribal mentality really is depressing,. At any rate, Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt are refreshing and I would be proud to have a beer with either one of them!

The right wing media has a mouthpiece spewing hate for Democrats 24/7.
That has played a big role in polarizing Americans.

(7,768 posts)He said that he couldn't say now but he would have to take a careful look at who is in the running.
She told him she couldn't vote for Trump in 2016 and she had to vote for anyone that could stop him in 2020.
Remember, she could NOT bring herself to vote for McCain because of Palin! She was tearful about it because she was on his campaign staff! She said she still has PTSD about her interactions with Sarah Palin.
I haven't seen her announce that she is NOT a Republican anymore (like Scarborough did) but it wouldn't surprise me if she does.
If you haven't seen it, watch 'Game Change'.

(7,768 posts)I didn't hear her say that but I'm not able to listen to every one of her shows. I do remember her saying her dad is/was a big trump supporter.
I try watch her show when I get the chance. When Steve Schmidt is on, I especially pay attention!

Also, she reamed out Chuck Todd for not sufficiently praising Chris Christie for his "good day." https://www.mediaite.com/tv/oh-my-god-nicolle-wallace-shocked-that-chuck-todd-refuses-to-praise-christies-good-day/
Hey, I'm happy to have her voice against Trump, but anyone who didn't criticize Bush & Co. when he was pres helped pave the way for Republicans to retain & gain power. Most of them have long been as vile, duplicitous, & hypocritical as they are now exposed as being, and it was obvious to anyone who was paying attention.

(312 posts)Nichole was wonderful, but her show was immediately followed by Chuck Todd. With Hugh Hewitt as a guest. I can barely stand Chuck as it is, Hugh Hewitt on top of that was too much.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,656 posts)Even Hewitt couldn't come up with much of anything positive to say, other than a lame, whiney remark to the effect that maybe if in six months there's evidence of denuclearization by NK, it will have been OK.

Again, I love Nicole Wallace.
