All they need is a journalist with a spine and solid knowledge of the issues. Lester Holt is a pretty good reporter; I just hope he has a spine.

Just thought how nice it would be to have someone who handled Trump with such a light touch, but clearly commanded his attention.

I believe as I suspect she does in the separation of Church and State. But the question is, why can't the media take her lead and stand up to the bully?
