A Nicolle Wallace gem, a real "keeper," in case you missed it...via Rick Wilson on Twitter.

OMG I have never loved @NicolleDWallace more than after she described Rudy and Barr as "Two tarantulas in a bowl."

I watch Rachel a lot too, most nights, but I sometimes fall asleep and don't see it all.

I watch her religiously, but I like Nicolle better. Nicolle has the best guests and keeps her show moving. The show isn't about her as sometimes I feel about Rachel. Rachel can take 3 minutes to ask a question or make a point that Nicolle makes in 30 seconds.

I still would never miss Rachel's show, she digs out the dirt, exposes the cockroaches. We need some more like Nicolle and Rachel, Chris Hayes is getting there.

CNN is worthless, it repeats right wing talking points then debates them, I refuse to watch anything but Nicolle, Rachel, and Chris.

I think Nicole is the best communicator and Rachel the best reporter and most thorough. I do always watch some of AM Joy on the Weekends and always watch at least a few min. of Morning Joe. Lately they've had on lots of candidates and I enjoy listening to them.

I love that Nicolle treats her guests and audiences with respect

She listens to her guests, let's them speak in full paragraphs and manages to keep the conversations on track without interrupting them to talk about what she thinks but everything they say - unlike some hosts who seem to see their guests as foils there just to throw them lines to cue their next diatribe (if they can even get a whole sentence out before being cut off)

I learn something from Rachel every night. I love that she does amazing research and presents it so clearly. Yes, sometimes it takes awhile for her to get where she's going, but she's presenting complicated stuff that can't be explained in two minutes. I also appreciate that she never has panels, but only interviews guests one-on-one.

Rachel and Nicolle are both gems!

Probably not the first time she's said it, but it was a first for me.

Love her show - she's the real deal !

Discussed was the NSA and CIA refusing to turn over relevant documents to Trump's impeachment. One of Nicolle's guests Jeremy Bash, who worked in intelligence, stated that the only way the NSA and CIA would refuse to release info to the House intelligence committee would be because of a direct order from Trump.

It sure looks to me that Trump now owns our intelligence agencies.

Barr was confirmed. Then, the perimeter guards like Mattis, Kelly, etc couldn't stand it any more and expressed their disagreement with the idiot-in-chief, leading to their dismissal or resignations.

I'm really afraid that extremely harsh measures will one day be required if he wins again.

Consider that Rick Wilson, one of Trump's fiercest foes, was one of the masterminds behind the Florida recount riots in 2000.

Consider that Nicole Wallace has been a life-long Republican who worked in the "W" White House. She also most infamously was Sarah Palin's handler during John McCain's run for the presidency.

Yet these people who were our political rivals are now our allies!

Strange times.

because they understand the inner workings of the party and know how to undermine them. I think the Lincoln Project will do a lot to help elect Democrats in 2020. I have no illusions about them becoming Democrats because they are conservatives, but at least they see trump for the danger he is.

Seemed to fall out naked and exposed for all to see. Ice 9 was it? Destroy the earth so our tanks won't get stuck in the mud. The corkscrews in his head were influencing his decisions.

It's all about Us and Them and the Others.
Us 66million, Them 63million, and the Others that didn't vote but could have 100million+

Join Us we'll win. Change Us into a Party you can vote for, not just against Them.👴

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words and most of them are lies.🦊

For want of the price of tea and a slice the old man died.🤦
