Condoleezza Rice: ‘Every President Has A Learning Curve’ | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[@connorm3436]

Condoleezza is one of the most informed, well spoken, and intelligent person I've heard talk politics

[@frankhoffman3566]

I've known for mäny years that Condoleeza Rice is brilliänt. She still is. I am humbled by her grasp of history, the presidéncy and current events. I love her.

[@carlawhite2576]

Thank God for Condoleezza Rice...so smart, sane, frank, and diplomatic. Joe and Mika didn't get what they wanted from her...good for her.

[@MillCityJam]

Condoleezza Rice is absolutely correct. America needs to focus on education at all levels - from preschool thru college.

[@CaloCreek]

Just wow. She's incredible to hear speak.

[@jameszhang8152]

She is really trustworthy and inspirational.

[@Daisylove83]

Such respect for Madame Secretary!

[@phnaargos]

"Every president has a learning curve, but this is absurd" is what I hoped she would say.

[@crapstirrer]

phnaargos yeah, record low approval rates in the first hundred days is a huge warning sign.

[@kadmonzohar2]

Just listen to him speak...communication skills are a reflection of what is going on inside the brain...EZ-D 45 hasn't the capacity to learn anything, at the level of what is needed, for intellect to be in his position, to grasp the big picture and play on the world stage. There is no way he will make it 4 years. Not without 100% cover ups constantly...the resistance will break him before that time.

[@vonsuthoff]

Hekat the Evil B-tch... These "Trump was ordained by God" nuts out there are turning countless numbers of people against religion. Seriously... how low can they go just to prove their utter insanity?!

[@vonsuthoff]

John Hortten... AAAAAMEN John!

[@mamabelefante9221]

Wow, felt this one. So well spoken.

[@SoniaBDorsey]

What a difference a conversation can make...if only we would be quick to listen...Thank you Madame Secretary for your insight and thoughtful delivery of a practical civility that is attainable by everyone, regardless of political affiliations. Thank you.

[@peterhallett2256]

I love this woman. Fierce intelligence.

[@beverlywynne9448]

Beautiful and smart woman thank you for speaking for those who can't speak for themselves God bless you condoleezza

[@tarasov9794]

What a smart woman.

[@victorymorningstar]

She commands the room. Everyone is all ears. No one interrupts her. Pin drop silence.

[@jamillabyrd]

OMG, Condoleezza Rice's intelligence and calming demeanor is turning me on. The level of understanding about this administration and past administration is making me want more.

[@TheHiLiteShow7]

Condoleeza is brilliant

[@queenoftheharpies8018]

I've always liked her, even with her conservative ideals. She said a mouthful when she said, and I'm paraphrasing, "If you're surrounded by people that only agree with you, get different company." Loyalty above reason, which is required by Trump, makes for a disaster.

[@tugboat2]

Yet she wasn't talking only about the President. Too many loyal Democrats failed to acknowledge an anger among the working class that was reflected in the eventual election. Cent Uyger outlined just what Condolleza Rice means in this video pre-election: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5PSY6WdYtCbiqM

[@Malignus68]

One of the most eloquent, intelligent women alive today...of any race.

[@lydialindquist6470]

Condoleezza weighs her words carefully. Smart woman she is.

[@adamwho9801]

She is working pretty hard to normalize the the behavior of Trump.... After she JUST SAID that honesty is one of the most important characteristics.

[@edwardb7811]

A wise woman.

[@gerrygriffith5797]

She is brilliant and eloquent.

[@Sene24]

I was crushed when she said no to being President. We need a person of Ms. Rice' caliber at our helm...

[@MadelineBee1]

CR is so professional. Very impressed.

[@GULLY6290549]

MY GOD I LOVE THIS WOMAN...SHE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT...I WOULD VOTE FOR HER!!

[@mannyverse6158]

This president is different. He has an aversion to learning. He has never learned anything in his entire life

[@dra6ke]

Manny S Well, you have to give him some credit, he has learned enough to build an empire and make billions.

[@mannyverse6158]

He got a $200 mil inheritance. You don't need to be smart to make money with 200 mil. And just because you're rich, doesn't make you smart.

[@mannyverse6158]

+Cat Garcia Dude, trump can barely read. He has no understanding of the world. I've unfortunately have had to watch him for over a year. About the money stuff, I live in NY, I know real estate here. There is nothing easier than buying buildings and renting them out. Takes 0 skill. I wish he was smart. But beyond that, he is frighteningly ignorant, has no attention span, and can't think two steps ahead

[@averyrosehasthorns2435]

Manny S Don't forget buying and selling real estate is even easier when your daddy is a millionaire. Most people don't have that advantage.

[@aniksamiurrahman6365]

Condoleezza Rice for 2024! "Bring Back the American Dream".

[@blackdeath290]

Really good discussion. I love seeing different points of view able to calmly discuss and be respectful like this. God bless America! We will get through this together.

[@toddtaliaferro7876]

*Everyone from past administrations, whether Republican or Democrat, seems so competent and confident compared to Trump's clown car staff.*

[@airplane381]

Every President except Trump.

[@bancoran]

Daniel Bazalar Trump doesnt have a learning curve, he has a learning off ramp with a "Bridge Out" sign

[@tmseh]

Daniel Bazalar Riding the short bus.

[@kimkozlowski8787]

look at the way some r wiggling around when they dnt like what she said. love it! Ms Rice thank u for shutting some down from their personal issues of the President. They hoped Ms Rice would give good gossip on Mr. Trump. Thank u for being a grown up nt a hs grown up.

[@maninblack9271]

it is true that America is built on an IDEA.

[@gpenny2163]

She hit right on the nose education job retraining, so people don't feel like their lost and that alone will be a big help & that could bring community closer!!!

[@neobootsonious]

I love Condoleeza.

[@gusalthorp6138]

Condi you're a class act smart..witty.

[@MeltonECartes]

THIS is why I can't accept Dr. Rice. We're most definitely NOT "fine." We need to stretch and grow. Which is why it's even more frustrating to hear her say the other "compassionate" ideas. SMDH...

[@victorymorningstar]

Can someone just give her the Presidency? It would be an insult to her if she had to run against any other politician.

[@Susan-ur2vd]

Condoleezza Rice for president! PLEASE!

[@jkkjkkas]

i love the hair !! nice choice !powerful woman !

[@darnelltobar9726]

"A learning curve", something he should've learned before he became a candidate!!!

[@crapstirrer]

Darnell Tobar it's one thing to not do your homework. it's completely another thing to steadfastly refuse accept that there is stuff you don't know

[@darnelltobar9726]

crapstirrer you're 💯% right!!!

[@constantinoduarte1282]

Darnell Tobar Don't blame him. Just blame the ignorance of the people who put him on charge...But was Hillary a better choice? Only if you like corruption. I am wondering how the most powerful country in the world produces only crooks and corrupt people for the presidency.

[@darnelltobar9726]

Constantino Duarte neither were a good choice of candidates, and you're on point about everyone being greedy crooks!

[@bobbrawley9439]

Darnell Tobar Yea but but we dee people . I mean dee people well we voted Trump for President. Overwhelming. A massive win . HUGE. and and dee people, well you know what i mean. Right?

[@juanvga]

She's a very intelligent person....

[@danb.9713]

What a SLANTED interview! Sheesh!

[@StoicContrarian]

Biggest difference when you have a guest of high caliber like Condi is that they actually let her speak and don’t interrupt.

[@dra6ke]

Condoleezza Rice is a class act. Most people on this thread trash Trump with ad hominen attacks. I understand that many people don't agree with him on policies so I say, debate his policies. People need to learn from Ms. Rice' demeanor, be respectful and curb rhetoric. Yes, Trump doesn't always follow those same rules, and that's bad on him; but social media, on both sides, has become too bitter and disrespectful.

[@magnusbooth4719]

So, the most important trait is honesty. What could go wrong?

[@whitemalefeminist998]

Well then he should resign

[@Nakano2k1]

The whole "American dream" ideal was born when the US was still a country of low skilled laborers. Now that the US has moved away from a agrarian / production based society and the rest of the world has rebuilt post WW2, the entire global economy that the US first suggested and fostered now completely negates what "the american dream" means for a lot of Americans. Guess what? If you want to achieve that dream, now you have to work harder for it. You can't just graduate high school and be given a union job that provides safety and financial security until you decide to retire. I agree that there has to be reforms in regards to helping people reach these goals such as education subsidies and early life health insurance, but a lot of people who are still living with 1950 / 60s mentalities need to wake up, grab the bull by the horns and move forward.

[@joyluck7780]

Come on ms rice. Besides Hilary you would be the best person for president. One of the smartest people in the world.

[@Rikajael]

I'm a life long Democrat, but please run for president, Madame Secretary. All of these points and principles that you have laid out are the America values (not democrat or republican, but American) that we need in the leaders of our country. And your knowledge of American and World history, combined with your willingness to use the lessons that history has shown us, is something leadership right now lacks.

[@Dgiroux1000]

This Woman should of been the VP!

[@NattyBumppo48]

Condoleezza should run for president....

[@garymclaughin]

Yes learning on the job training is difficult I did that as well. Everything is not funny. But they tend to do that get closed in then condescending and patronizing behaviour. Must be a hard job need someone close to scold them on occasion but not me. Most people have had issues in there lives as well. But they signed up for it much like the military. All in it together. Thank you Dr Rice.🤠

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Condie Rice, one bright and decent lady!

[@Atlanticmoonsnail]

Condoleeza for President....

[@dobwatches]

Devolution is not a learning curve.

[@michaelbelt8768]

Some people are born to lead and some people are born to advise them. Condi is a great adviser and any administration would do well, to bring her on board.. But she too, has seen the smart and not so smart. She seems to prefer smart.

[@yujishinohara1uponatime]

I had the same question "do you want to be president?" Please bring her back on.

[@madiba3278]

Honesty and Trump in the same sentence??? When u put Trump under oath: I swear to tell a lie nothing but a lie so help me Putin! :)

[@ArtGirl82]

I think that's why she had that look on her face when she said it lol. Condi's not stupid. She knows Trump is completely divorced from reality and living in a fantasy world where he's the most handsome, beloved and respected person ever. She also knows he's been surrounded by toadying yes-men for 25 years, and that didn't change when he entered the WH.

[@32shumble]

Trump under oath - what a concept!

[@victoriacschmidt1438]

Sam Beri lololol, oh my, stolen!

[@marianaciriavesi4166]

whining liberals as usual

[@mugemainyas5241]

You are so clever .

[@sandman6238]

I watched this entire interview this morning ! This lady is very sharp, she has more Brain's than the entire panel on MSNBC, they just sit there with open mouths,

[@keikoyoshikawa9316]

Condoleezza Rice is no Sally Yates.

[@raevaughn1577]

Keiko Yoshikawa In what way?

[@raevaughn1577]

elmartillogrande So, it's the secretary of state that call the shots, not the president. hmmmm, I never knew that. Why do we need a presidents aging? Seems like Hillary and Condoleeza have been running the show for the last two administration's. Boy did I have it wrong. Oh, and Condileeza was Secretary of state in Bushes se and administration.

[@HEAD3455]

rice = absurdity

[@AzaleaLala]

It's too bad that the people we want as president don't want to be president.

[@Mitata72]

Classic.....Hes never sniffed Government!!

[@albertbrake866]

The VP 25th's President Trump and makes Rice VP. Why not?

[@StephenLeGresley]

Yes, but the learning curve for an educated and experienced President is far shorter. It's more effective and less costly to have someone running the country who doesn't have to have every new issue explained to them from scratch. But then again a dim witted leader is easier to control and manipulate.

[@Bete_Noir]

Immediately fire the person who did Condi's makeup.

[@WiseManDude]

Great interview FRIST time I actually watched the whole video. They usually behave childish with their anti-trump rhetoric and simplton logic.

[@nox503]

All I can hear in my head is that senate hearing she was in back in the day saying over and over " I cannot recall at this time"

[@garymclaughin]

April just listen appropriately willing to offer up later know in your heart

[@porcospino289]

Agreed with all the comments below "against" the dungbeetle Tchumpo. Apart from defending him, Rice came across very impressively indeed in this, I thought. Fkn smart person.

[@anntionettemccormack2208]

You want trust from the country? Get money out of politics!

[@MrRoshilawrence]

I can't stop laughing after the SNL skit about Joe & Mika

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

Learning curve or as in Trump's case, dead man's curve.

[@elizabethpeterson455]

These liberal news people were squirming in their seats, but could not disrespest this intelligent and wise woman. She is so far over their heads they are stunned, and don't know what hit them. 😅😄😃

[@jbriggs9711]

Lock up rice now

[@joedavi1920]

Lock her up

[@ShineForlyn777]

Rice: "well I live in CA, I said to everybody, if there is anything I can do, happy to do it from CA"! :)

[@toureyacoubou9589]

Please war is not the answer but dialogue ♡ peace talk. Our enocent children's are dying

[@dyme4077]

Morning!

[@KesselRunner606]

Every President has a learning curve, but not every President needs a cot to keep them in, tummy time, and a rattle to distract them when they have a F#ng tantrum.

[@tacticaltoaster974]

While Rice is certainly talking along party lines here and I am painfully liberal, at this point, I would be more than okay if she were an integral part of this new administration. She is at least level headed.

[@wanmohdazwanwanazman7688]

America, U.N & I.M.F WHO IS WITH ME!!!

[@amandabertelsen7921]

Not every President has a learning curve. There is no proof that Trump has ever learned a thing in his 70 long stupid stupid life.

[@BlackMenTakingOurCommunityBack]

Amanda Bertelsen You don't become a multi-billionaire because you're stupid.

[@bancoran]

Black Men Taking Our Community Back No, in this case you get million dollar loans from your dad, then inherit his wealth and infrastructure, and finally sign where your dad's lawyers tell you to.

[@amandabertelsen7921]

Black Men- Well, first, Trump actually has to prove he's a billionaire. Real Billionaires don't nickle and dime people with fake university scams. He also got a bigly amount of money and support from his father, so you know, born on third, thought he hit a triple. Finally, If you have ever uttered the words "No one knew healthcare could be so complicated" and "Why was the civil war fought? No one asks that question." you are not smart. It doesn't matter how much money you have in your bank account.

[@adamwho9801]

Actual, ANYBODY starting with millions of dollars in the New York real estate market from the 1970-90s could have made FAR more than Trump. In fact, Trump is a case study is bad investment decisions.

[@didierblanch827]

Give them time , eventually it will learn something .

[@JewishEagle]

The era of fighting terrorism since and before 9/11 (2001) is over for the most part actually, despite some still existing terror hotspots in and around Syria and certain minor terror threats which Europe faces through the refugee crisis. With Trump 2017 comes a new era of different challenges such as 1) a return of populism, nationalism and fascism in Europe which also affects USA, 2) economic imbalance and Americans being disillusioned about the American Dream, 3) increasing Russian power and influence in the world, and ofcourse 4) the growing nuclear threat of North Korea. New era, new global problems and challenges. Last but not least, Condi Rice is spot on and knows about all those new geopolitical challenges.

[@HISNAMESAKE]

Condi is smarter than yates, do your homework before making that statement.Do you speak Russian

[@tojo4]

you don't have to be "in" government to understand 6th grade Civics.

[@leona7522]

Americans also don’t like being lied to as practiced in the Bush administration you served in which sent us to that disastrous war in Iraq. All of us might not be at the Stanford level with all your students. But once galvanized in a principled direction with the power of the Truth, our inner integrity surpasses any 'DNA moral compass’ and knows how to provide for its people in need.

[@itsyaboia-dub1120]

Why all the good, intelligent, and level headed Republicans shy away from the presidential position?

[@Mr7lust7]

Nothing this war criminal says carries any merit

[@Malignus68]

It's not a learning curve with Trump, it's a spiral.

[@ilpezkato]

SHAME ON HER!!!

[@joportillo123]

learning curve this is downward spiral get this group out

[@IdkIdk-pv1mx]

What did joe mean when he said that the most powerful person in Washington is the senate minority leader?

[@007Decky]

2:34 "I think the most important trait is honesty." I guess from Trump's perspective, it really depends on the definition of the word "is" is, Dr. Rice!

[@jazziered142]

If he had any ounce of a brain he would of known the BASICS of how our government works. He could of given himself an education... Oh wait. Trump university.... Nevermind. *le sigh*

[@cbalmori]

Trump is incapable of learning anything... Condoleezza's cynicism disguised as PC and politeness drives me crazy... she must think we are all idiots

[@shinlanten]

This president doesn't know he has a learning curve.

[@hotwheelz3010]

Yeah, she would know. And trump calling her for advice would be a typical case of the cripple leading the blind.

[@jamesvignali6074]

Edgar Hoover gave JFK the News. "No more Judith Campbell.". "No more Frank Sinatra." This news was delivered right before JFK was to leave for the Western White House. Frank Sinatra had spent considerable funds on his Palm Springs Residence to install a State of the Art Communication System. Frank Sinatra was extremely proud of his Friendship with JFK. When JFK arrived at Frank's Residence he had to tell Frank he would be staying at Bing Crosby's. Frank never forgave JFK.

[@Nakano2k1]

Yeah, but most administrations learning curves go up, not down like with the Trump administration.

[@momiaw]

Liberal to the core but would vote for Rice all day long.
