Joe needs to be put in his place.

Not THAT Joe. THIS Joe:

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/morning-joe-warns-democrats-against-164130229.html

“Morning Joe” threw cold water on projections that Joe Biden could win some swing states by double digits Monday, urging Democrats against “drinking the Kool-Aid.”

“I’m sorry. I look at these polls that say double digits in Wisconsin and Michigan and I don’t mean to be Dr. Doom but these aren’t going to be double-digit races,” said host Joe Scarborough, a former GOP representative from Florida.

He did concede that the Democratic presidential nominee could beat Republican incumbent President Donald Trump by five or so points.

...

“They are reaches for him,” agreed Scarborough, who maintained that they’re not double-digit reaches.


I hope we prove him not just wrong, but very, very wrong.

since I'm hanging on your every word!

You expect Biden will win, but by these smaller margins, predicted by Scarborough?

I would not be shocked if Biden won by 10+ in either but I don't expect it, either.

I thought you were going to say that Joe Biden needs to be put in his place. You know, like, the White House!

Scarborough can pound sand. He's never had anything to offer other than free airtime to Trump's 2016 campaign. Thanks for that, Joe & Mika.

This is the kind of spin we really don’t need.

He is trying to say the polls are inaccurate so that when there are discrepancies, people will just accept that the polls are wrong, instead of questioning why Biden lost by 3 points in a swing state where he was leading by 2 or 3 points.

Gives the republican machine breathing room to mess with the counts.

Sick of this.

Then again, it’s Monday before election day and I am getting a bit wound up.

I just baked Banana bread and can smell the aroma through the house. Ahhhhh, that’s more like it. Breath and relax. Its all good.

and pushing people to vote like Biden is behind.

Joe Scarborough is no fan of Trump.
