Wallace said something to the fact that Ms. Obama may have only been wrong in one place, and it was the comment you mentioned. Wallace said because she (Wallace) felt it likely did resonate with many people, including some who wouldn't normally vote for a democrat. I think it was Wallace's way of singing her praises in a way that points out how many people, especially women, are so disaffected they are wanting real change.

the Democratic Party has a huge tent.

In my view Wallace's remarks were pretty convoluted. I looked at the expression on Rachel's face, and it seemed to say, WTF are talking about Nicole?

Joy Reid and Rachel were on the same wavelength

From what I could see Nicole Wallace's main function was to periodically call on Brian Williams

I don't think Wallace missed the point, it was just a "cutsey" way of saying she (Obama) spoke to more people then she gave herself credit for.
