stuff. What bothers me is that they all very attractive. Where they chosen because they look good on TV?

Maybe it''s wrong, but with a few exceptions, that's the way it is.

to be abused by the guy who they are covering? Not that I think that would matter, given how badly he treated Megyn Kelly.

I liked all of them -- the women covering all the candidates. They seemed good at their jobs, reported rather than opinionating, and had a good sense of humor and were patient with anchors asking unclear questions.

I follow her on Twitter. For the most part, she's done a great job of covering Trump. She did say something in his favor last week that made no sense.

She's stood up to lots of abuse and bullying. I think she's heroic. She's not afraid to tell the truth about Trump.

Is probably rolling over in her grave if she can see so-called "fair and balanced" reporters like Jackson & Tur.

I especially liked Katie Tur. It was really interesting to hear about their life on the road, covering the candidates.
