MSNBC television host, Rachel Maddow interrupted her election coverage several weeks ago to tell her viewers, “You’re awake by the way. You’re not having a terrible, terrible dream. Also, you’re not dead and you haven’t gone to hell.” The host also sounded very bleak during the network’s Election Night coverage as the news broke of Donald Trump’s win. Maddow said, “Well, it is what it is. People go into this eyes wide-open. If you vote for somebody who can’t win for president, it means that you don’t care who wins for president.” For those who don’t know much about the witty and outspoken host, here’s a quick Rachel Maddow wiki.
