Brooks and Capehart

I know it’s an opinion segment, but having a progressive like Jonathan Capehart as one of the commentators makes it uninteresting. You know what his opinion is going to be on every issue before he even starts talking, whereas Brooks surprises me a lot of the time with his straddling of the political divide. I felt like Shields shared that same consideration for both sides of the fence and would criticize the left just as easily as the right. Please consider a less-polarized personality if you ever decide to replace him.
