Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRachel covered only half of the Newsweek story.
She talked about whether the trump organization would truly be blind if his kids ran it. She didn't mention the conflicts of interest with our national security, national foreign interests, etc., and that there could be triangulated conflicts of interests between the US with multiple other countries on a single issue.
I'm disappointed.

(112 posts)I am eager for Lawrence. I have never really liked him and his ego. But the last few nights have been rather amazing.
He may cover the 'rest of the story.'
I don't know if Rachel shies away from stories so can't comment on that. I do know she had a full show of a variety of issues. She did the Hillary health thing well, I thought. Had a sensible MD on.

(46,166 posts)It was in the context of his kids being in charge and T's national decisions could be compromised by what's good for the bottom line of his business interests. That's the jist I got. She scoffed at the whole blind trust thing and how unclear he was about that when he was asked in a primary debate.
But to me it felt like she spent more time on the medical issue. I would rather she cover the Newsweek story in more depth. She synthesized it down.
I did like how she handled T's visit to Flint, MI, though. She showed T being halted in mid speech at the church. I liked seeing that about 3x. It showed his true intentions for going there. Blatant. And the pastor wasn't having any of it.

(61,710 posts)Best for his business, but she didn't really state the alternative being national security. This is a key phrase, even a trigger issue for security-minded voters. I thought it deserved further clarification, not about the cost to his business, but how far trump would go in trading off our national security.

Why can't I say them here?

You can say whatever you want to say about maddow. But don't surprised if you get pushback from folk that disagree with you.
In the meantime understand that admins aren't persecuting you and you aren't a 'victim' of anything but your own melodramatic hyperbole
