Who is the woman who is standing in for Ari Mueller (sp)

[onecent]

I can BARELY watch her....and all her pretexts about what "would Sean Spicer's" DO FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.

God, SHE is HORRIBLE!!! I haven't caught her name yet.....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. You mean Ari Melber?

The woman is Stephanie Ruhle, who is Ali Velshi's partner on a daytime show on MSNBC. She is actually very good, very sharp. I like her a lot.

[Trust Buster]

2. It's Ari Melber and Stephanie Ruhle is excellent IMO.

[dogman]

3. Some one posted about her the other day.

The 11 responses I saw at the time all endorsed her. Guess they see it differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Ruhle. Not my cup of tea either.

[onecent]

7. Thank you dogman, I won't be watching MSNBC if she's on again.

And then again, I not a man....

Oh well, lose some and some you win.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. What do you dislike about her?

[dogman]

12. I read one comment about her being easy to look at.

The Fox formula at work. We've still got a ways to go in our own Party.

[Ninsianna]

16. I didn't like her at first either. I kept wondering why a grown up version of

Lindsay Lohan's American twin in The Parent Trap was on my TV.

She did grow on me though, she's a economy reporter and she does pretty well with Ali Velshi. They actually demand answers from their guests and fact check them.

[GeorgeGist]

4. It seems to be mostly men who are threatened by her.

[dogman]

13. Funny, she irritates my wife way more than me.

[BigmanPigman]

5. A few months ago I saw her and mentioned how much I like her to my sister.

She is sharp and tough. I was impressed that she doesn't let anyone get away with not answering questions and lying.

[kentuck]

6. Stephanie Ruhle is very knowledgeable...

..especially on financial issues.

[oberliner]

9. Stephanie is fantastic

One of my favorites.

[MoonRiver]

10. I find her incredibly irritating.

She acts like somebody who hasn't taken her Ritalin, but really needs to. I know a lot of people here like here, but not me.

[stopbush]

26. Well, you know how all women are kinda hysterical, right?

I mean, men have said that for centuries, so it must be true, right?

Maybe she doesn't need ritalin. Maybe she just needs to get laid, right?

[MoonRiver]

33. OMG, talk about putting words in my mouth!

[OnDoutside]

11. Stephanie RUHLES ! And Ari too of course !

[JanetLovesObama]

14. Stephanie is OK BUT -

breaking down and bawling her head off during her morning time over the little girl being rescued in Mexico pissed me off. She was still bawling during her next segment. Really? Hey buttercup, YOU are the reason women cannot get decent jobs ! How many men on any cable news organization have ever been seen bawling to the point they could not stop over a sad situation???? Me???? NONE. This world is a shit-hole more than ever since drumpf the fake president has taken over and it is only getting worse. Stephanie needs to toughen up, get on something to help her emotions, or give her job to yet another man.

[JI7]

17. What bs. First there is nothing wrong with tears overt such things.

And men do cry on tv. Jimmy Kimmel Anderson cooper . Peter jennings would get emotional.

And no. That is NOT the reason women are not able to get work.

[JanetLovesObama]

18. Bawling your head off over one small tragedy shows

horrible WEAKNESS. Oh and just for the record ...... just announced on MSNBC that the entire little 12 yr old being trapped was a hoax. Ms. Ruhle needs to at least do her homework before putting on the "weak woman tears". No wonder men dominate the airwaves. smh. pitiful !!!!

[JI7]

19. Of it was true it was not a small tragedy

You are the one who thinks showing emotion over loss is weak.

[rateyes]

22. This is one of the biggest piles of bullshit

I have ever read on DU. And, I have read more than a few. Small tragedy, my ass! I raised three daughters, and this grown man cries at stuff like this. And, I am not weak by any stretch of the imagination. Empathy is a sign of strength of character, not weakness.

Good gawd almighty, sometimes I just hate this place.

I guess Obama was weak for crying over Newtown, huh, JanetLovesObama!!

[JI7]

29. Agree. That attitude is the type of shit which gets people to think being mean is being tough like t

You will never see him shed a tear for the loss or suffering of others.

And i seriously don't think he would cry if one of his own kids passed away.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Well, she's a woman, after all, and women do get hysterical

and can't control their emotions about trivial things like trapped or dead children. What a snowflake. She needs to man up.

[demmiblue]

31. ...

[Hekate]

32. A 7.1 earthquake and its aftermath is not "one small tragedy," take it from California...

If you don't like a particular newscaster, just wait an hour and someone else will be on.

I don't give a rip if you decide to give up on MSNBC because of one person showing genuine emotion -- they happen to have a particularly good lineup of smart incisive women on just now, and Ms Ruhle is one of them. She asks sharp questions and won't take bullshit for an answer; she came from the Business side and knows economics; and while I never saw her cry, I did catch her yelling "That is a lie!" at some GOP blowhard. You don't see that very often on tv.

Buttercup? What the hell do you call Nicole Wallace? She only looks like a cutie-pie -- that woman is as sharp as a tack, lets other people finish their sentences and never lets herself be talked over or talked down to.

I could go on -- you certainly did -- but I've made my point.

[JimGinPA]

15. I Didn't Care Much For Her At First...

But she's not horrible. Unlike many M$N hosts she's not intellectually incurious. She asks pertinent questions during interviews and I've seen several times she's called RW's on their bullshit. I do prefer the hour she co-hosts with Ali Velshi than the two or three other hours she seems to be on herself every day though.

[octoberlib]

20. Ill take Stephanie Ruhle any day

over Steve Kornacki. She asks tough questions and doesn’t let people off the the hook. I can see no comparison between Ruhle and the women on Fox News. Jesus.

[solara]

23. I hear you

It took me a while to warm up to Stephanie Ruhle, but now I would definitely watch her over Kornacki, and especially over Todd & Mitchell.

Simply won't watch any of those three and I find it really annoying when an MSNBC anchor of real substance has any of them on their show for "commentary", which they do more often than they should. Sometimes I'll stick around if it's just Kornacki, but I will definitely tune out if it is Chuck Todd or Andrea Mitchell.

[madaboutharry]

21. I love Stephanie Rhule.

I think she is very intelligent and knowledgeable.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. She's anti-Chump. That's enough for me !

[yortsed snacilbuper]

25. I thought she did a fantastic job,

filling in for A. M. .

[PA Democrat]

27. Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle do financial/ economic reporting

and they are AWWWWESOME at shredding right wing BS. Trump mouthpiece Brad Thomas learned the hard way.

30. Love Stephanie Ruhle and Ali Velshi together.

They are great. I first saw SR on Weekend Today and was not impressed. Then I saw her on MSNBC and realized how good she is in interviewing Trump admin reps. She was unrelenting and knew her stuff. She's very passionate about standing up for what's right and doesn't tolerate people lying to her. She definitely calls them out and she's quick so she can back up what she's saying.
