I hope he's prepared for a hostile interview. Rachel is much, much tougher on Dems than Republicans and she's been pushing Sanders hard.

I'd like to see him do Jose Diaz-Balart's show and get to talk about his leadership on Puerto Rico bankruptcy and Dominican Republic. Two subjects that I expect Rachel to ignore.

I still can't forget how rude she was to Stephen Chu when he was supposed to be doing a puff piece on science week and she started attacking him for not solving the gulf oil spill. He was the head of Dept of Energy which had nothing to do with the spill and she was unbelievably rude to him.

White progressive darlings like Sanders, Brown and Warren get fawned over. Not so much for other Dems on her show.

She's probably my least favorite of the MSNBC primetime anchors because of her bias, which is a pretty unpopular opinion I realize.

makes me angry. There was no truth in what Rachel did to Chu. It was an ambush and made her look like an uninformed moron.

creates too long of a build up to a story. I can usually see where the story is going, so the over-build up gets tedious. I've never seen her being rude, but never saw the Stephen Chu piece.
