Oh joy, a losing Democrat gets a job. I can’t wait for her advice on what Democrats need to do to win.

Waking up with Claire?
Coffee with Claire?
Mika & Claire?
(that would be scary)

And Jeff Flake over at CBS. Makes sense. NBC has Chuck Todd. . Two boring spineless rich guys saying nothing day after day. I wonder what they’ll be talking about; climate change, stock buybacks, off shoring of corporate profits, education, charter school scam, HC? Nope. We deserve better.

Her moderation will kill us all. She and Chuck Todd will both-sides us to Kingdom Come. It’s the reason we are wringing our collective hands over the traitor in the White House. No clear message is ever moderate. IMO

Yeah, I was listening to her on The Daily podcast and realized I couldn’t stand her within a few minutes and stopped listening. So another good reason to not listen to MSNBC…

Agree. What a waste of money but then again, the reason MSNBC hired her is so they can push the “Democrats in disarray” message whenever they need a failing, go-to losing Dem.

There’s a reason she lost, and it isn’t just because MO is more of a red state these days. She never gave Dems a good reason to support her much either except that she was the obvious incumbent. As we’ve found out, that’s not enough these days to attract progressives that really want change we can believe in.

Look forward to hearing about how Democrats need to capitulate more to Republicans in order to win the hearts of ‘Real Americans’.

Its the same on a national level. I am hope one or two of the gazillion Democrats lining up to run for Prez in 2020 will get that they need to stand for something as well.

They need a proxy to ‘tut-tut’ at AOC.

Why not hire an unemployed federal worker or the member of the Coast Guard, not someone whose own citizens rejected?

Name of the new morning show: “Planet Claire”!

OR:
Maybe she was hired to provide a bit of “inside baseball” on the personalities/policy preferences of senators in the public eye on any given issue/day.

The revolving door keeps moving. Win, Lose, Spin.

“Both and” most likely. Not that you couldn’t get ‘inside baseball’ from a Democrat who isn’t going to trash the newcomers.

She didn’t tut tut about Cortez this morning, and she volunteered that she thought Beto was strongly positioned to win the Democrstic nomination. Just noting for the record.
