Although Allan Lichtman was interesting as well. Liz Mair was just insufferable. God, that woman is horrible! You could tell it took every ounce of self-control that Dan had not to ring her neck. The others were so-so. Interesting bit about Oprah. I wonder if he's on to something?

Anyway, thanks for posting! I always love watching him, no matter who is on!

Lichtman was fascinating.

The bit about Oprah was too funny...and unfortunately, has a tinge of reality to it.

Thanks!

And I also wish that we heard more from Mueller.

As for Oprah, I thought that was pretty far out - we know she has neither the background nor the interest, why would she need the aggravation?!

I mean, he meant it on one level...but it was a joke because he and everyone knows she's not political in that way and is a celebrity, not a politician.

We heard plenty from Mueller. It's just that it didn't mean much and ended up failing the country. He wimped out.

I know that not everyone stays up as late as I do or even has cable or HBO and, agree with him or not, he's always up on the issues of the day.

She's not running, for one thing - and why would she want to?? Unlike Trump, she knows what the job entails...

She doesn't have the background or the interest - why would she give up the life she enjoys for the toughest job in the world, especially now?? But that doesn't mean she wouldn't enjoy supporting and working for the right candidate. That's something she'd be very good at.
