1. Ha! Mary's getting bigly higher ratings than loser Uncle Donald.

6. Amazing number, I was one of 'em

[jimfields33]

10. Excellent!

11. I watched it too

When Rachel said she needed a drink at the end I felt the same way. My book arrives tomorrow.

I had a feeling it was probably the highest rated show, breaking all kinds of records.

2. It was an excellent show.

We watched every minute of it, since our book hasn't come yet.

3. Way to go Rachel!

Where would we be and what wouldn’t we know without her?

7. Mary provided sobering & frightening insight into a monster. I'm finding

myself reading less and escaping into old movies, but I'm going to buy this book, because, while dark, it also helps makes sense of Bunker Boy, and his grip on my country.

8. I was one of those millions watching

and my mouth hung open during the interview. But then I am a faithful viewer of Rachel's every week night. I know if I missed her program I would miss something very important.

9. I don't do twitter

but someone should point out to trump about the 5.2 million who watched. It will drive him crazy.

12. I couldn't watch it last night but I'm watching it right now.

Wow!

13. Go Rachel!

14. Tonight's "continuation" of the interview...

was a con-job by MSNBC. They hawked the interview all day long, and not only was Rachel not there tonight, the entirety of the "interview" was 2 1/2 minutes long. Got me, MSNBC.

15. A two-fer to piss Trump off.

Rachel got record ratings and Mary and her book were the topic. Wonder how many things he threw at the TV.

16. And you can bet he was watching n/t

[Marie Marie]

17. Oh yes, he was definitely tuned in.

18. Much to the chagrin of resident naysayers. nt
