Kasie Hunt on MSNBC is terrible at interviewing.

I have watched her show many times, and while she can ask good, pointed questions, she then sits back and lets these Republican bather on and on with the canned response of the day. She does not interrupt when they skip past her question and dodge the issue, and she doesn't stop them when they start praising Trump instead of giving her answers.

Meadows was running circles around her and she folded. She looked like a meek milquetoast and just went mum like she was intimidated and was just going through the motions. Why does MSNBC give a host job to an insipid, anemic reporter like Hunt when Joy Reid is hands down better, and breathing fire on her show!

She's ok as a reporter. But Kristen Welker, Katy Tur, and Hallie Jackson are a thousand times more talented than Kasie Hunt.

Her show is awful and I doubt it will last 3 months.

...she seems to be more interested in the mechanics of the show - who's up next, how much time have I got with this one... maybe she needs to get comfortable in her spot.

that the blathering idiocy these R's spout out is beyond arguing.

Just let them wallow in their own lies, ignorance and self-deception.

We know who they are, and we know what they are regurgitating.

I don't need "KC/DC" to dive into the cesspool. Their answers expose them for what they are.

let Meadows get away with the time honored trumpian tradition of answering a completely different question than what was asked. Then sort of turning the conversation to a trump campaign ad. A la Spicer/Huckabee. It was unwatchable.
