I predict MSNBC is going to give Nicole Wallace her own tv show.

[TeamPooka]

They have given her a crap load of screen time during both conventions.
She has been the lead analyst for everything.
I know this business and that's called grooming.
She is being used in the exact same way as Rachel was just before they gave her TRMS.
So that will be another hour of the day I won't watch MSNBC when it happens.
Consider this a warning thread MSNBC as we tell you what a horrible idea that will be.

1. God help us

Say it ain't so.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. The Ratfucker Network

GE Comcast

3. Schmidt is the one who deserves one

He tends to be balanced and can view issues from both sides

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. I don't think he'd work as a solo act or even a co host

He always seems uncomfortable on camera and he's been doing this for almost 8 years

[C_U_L8R]

20. True - he's better at comments than hosting

[irisblue]

21. Schmidt holds a lot of responsibility for the Palin plague.

[C_U_L8R]

23. I think he regrets that one.

As does Wallace.

4. She's off the mark with the speech comments, she says it wasn't republican enough so technically

... she got that wrong seeing it wasn't a republican convention.

Otherwise she's said some pretty pointed things about tRump and the RNC's current culture but I don't think her show would last long seeing the adults might try and take over the RNC next year

5. Seems likely, lots of angles:

* They can either use her to bait Megyn KELLY as a rival or to lure KELLY away from Faux.

* Peter Principle: WALLACE bombed out of The View, so *promotion*!1

* WALLACE and Rachel have obvious friction, so they can play them (more) against each other.

14. Who is Wallace? nt

[madaboutharry]

6. I don't see it being successful.

She doesn't seem to me to have the personality to carry a television program..

[TeamPooka]

7. Neither does Morning Joe. nt

[csziggy]

15. That's fine, give her a show of her own and get her off all the others

I'd much rather have her with an hour of her own that I can easily avoid than cropping up as a guest speaker on various shows where I don't expect her. Then when her show fails she can slink off to a corner somewhere and we won't have to see or hear her!

[StraightRazor]

8. I can see that happening, but in more of a Tucker Carlson role, teamed with someone like...

Joy Reid to 'balance' things out. Maybe not Joy because she'd crush Nicole one on one, but someone like her.

[TeamPooka]

9. I think they see the next Andrea Mitchell in her. But yeah find her a male Mika and she's ready to g

[StraightRazor]

10. Andrea Mitchell is a mystery to me...

and I realize this is a touch off topic, and I get that she's married to Alan Greenspan and has a tendency toward not being particularly partial, but she just seems so conflicted this time around. I feel like she will vote (very proudly) for Hillary in November but needs to keep up the whole 'fair and balanced' schtick when she's on so as not to seem like a cheerleader.

Aaaaaand back on topic - yes, a male Mika and a neato graphics package and boom Nicole is the newest member of the team.

[JI7]

11. she would get low ratings , she isn't the type that would be good hosting a show

[TeamPooka]

17. I didn't say she'd be good or successful, just predicting MSNBC based on past performance patterns

[emulatorloo]

18. Had a huge meltdown tonight, and is about as thin-skinned as Trump.

Transparent in her lies, totally predictable spin, irritating and boring. Nobody would ever watch her show if she had one. They are interested in making money so they will not showcase an unwatchable person in her own show.

Rachel has some kind of attachment to her which I'll never understand.

Others, including Steve Schmidt, seem to recognize her for the unrepentant Bushbot she is.

[arthritisR_US]

13. If they do that will be another hour I won't partake in. nt

[emulatorloo]

16. I doubt it n/t

[Judi Lynn]

19. She's been on far too much already. Creepy. n/t

[spanone]

22. who's next? hugh hewitt? he's waaaay too frequent on m$nbc

m$nbc sucks.

[Chiyo-chichi]

24. Ugh.

You are probably correct.
