@Ron just been reading about her - she does seem to be one of the better ones...

Regarding her book: _ American Individualism: How A New Generation of Conservatives Can Save the Republican Party._

I noticed was published in 2011. Wondering if what we have today in the Republican Party is a result of them all reading and paying attention ... or not.

My guess is the latter - which is why she moved from O’Reilly and Fox to CNN to PBS .. didn’t know that ‘Firing Line’ had been reborn.

Thanks for the heads up .. will try to find her.

@JohnPhilpin I discovered her by accident, just stumbled onto the new Firing Line. I watched the original one when I was a kid. She brings on interesting guests, does thorough research on them and asks very good questions. Now it's my favorite show on TV. The first one I saw was when she interviewed Tulsi Gabbard, very early in the primaries. MH is really smart, well informed and very fair. A Jewish newspaper named her journalist of the year for her work on Firing Line. She is a journalist in the old tradition of knowing the facts and asking about them to shine some light on the truth. I hope she will continue to do the show for as long as Buckley did.

So you see, my comment was not a joke or effort to distract, even though it did point in a different direction from the original discussion. In my mind, it was in a much more worthwhile direction. 😁
