I see a 47 year old man with the haircut of a 9 year old boy, and the suit, shirt, and tie, of a General Manager in a manufacturing shop.
Watch (at the 1:46 minute mark), as soon as Carlson finishes addressing his question to Representative Himes, Carlson's face falls slack into a mask of incredulity.
Some people have a "Resting Bitch Face". Tucker has a Resting Smart-Ass face.
Tucker Carlson is a smart guy, thinks quick on his feet, and it is very gratifying - IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE - to watch him tear people apart.
However, Conservatives need to start taking responsibility, and credit, not only for the ideas and outcomes they produce, but also for the manner in which they produce them.
For better or worse we live in a media-dominated age. The image we put out matters. Tucker Carlson is not a good image for Conservatives, unless Conservatives want the world to view them as the orange-vest-wearing Hall Monitors of the 21st Century.
Tucker Carlson is 2017's answer to Dana Carvey's Church Lady of Saturday Night Live fame.
Tucker Carlson is Ted Cruz' brother from the not-so-smart Trophy Wife mother; the son cast forth from the womb of the second marriage, after all the money started flowing into the house; raised with the kinda rednecky manners, while the nerdy Father is out tending to his success, and not paying quite as much attention at home.
You know, I always liked Ted Cruz, but I always knew that Cruz could never be an effective President (even though I loved his ideas, and enjoyed watching him intellectually bitchslap all the Leftist Orcs who rose up to do battle with him), because I am a Sales/Advertising/Marketing guy, and I know what sells.
Hall Monitors and Chess Club President's are not known for their ability to sell ideas to the classroom. They are known for being told they are "fucked up, they talk like a fag, and their shit's all retarded."
And that's no way to win a war, son.

Via Drudge: FOX NEWS executives will announce Tucker Carlson replaces vacating Megyn Kelly
I'll take Tucker!!
glad megyn is going!!
I love his style--so-
it is Hannity-Tucker-Gutfeild (sp) for me...
C-CS
I love Gutfeld, precisely because he does not attempt to be an authority.
That is what it takes to speak to this generation.
By the way, I'll take Tucker over Me-Again Kelley any time too.
Funny because, I despised Cruz and came to love Tucker because early Sat am when some progressive guest made the mind bending hysterical claims we have gotten used to his face WOULD go slack and then....
THE LAUGH and the face of genuine and perfect mirth, made perfect by a bow tie.
The ridicule of the laugh and the common sense it indicated brought unlimited absurdity on the person arguing their point.
"We are all looking at you saying these things" the laugh said "and do you realize what a complete idiot you are making out of yourself, all on your own?"
Well, when you explain it like that, it sounds like it would work.
But it does not work for me.
Tucker Carlson is not a good image for Conservatives....
Okay, I'm old and getting older. I'm a dinosaur -- and a sick dinosaur, at that.
But I like Tucker Carlson and can take him any day over Gutfield.
I basically ignore Carlson's mugging for the camera and listen to what he's saying.
