Morning Joe‘s Mika: Trump Campaign ‘Pathetic,’ ‘Vomiting Out Anything He Thinks’

The liberal half of the MSNBC Morning Joe duo Mika Brzezinski tore into Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Monday, calling his campaign and inability to change “pathetic.”

“As you said from the beginning, he’s winging it,”
co-host Joe Scarborough told Brzezinski. “He’s making it up as he goes along, instead of listening to (Cory Lewandoski), instead of listening to Paul Manafort, instead of listening to the people that are surrounding him…”

Brzezinski noted at this point in the campaign, Trump should have been talking to policy leaders and former politicians and tempering his speech. “Instead, he is literally still vomiting out anything he thinks at the tip of his head that he might have seen on TV, and I-don’t-know-what channel recently.

“And it’s pathetic, number one,” she said. “It’s sad for the party, it’s sad for the country, and it’s sad for his candidacy, which could have done so much.”

is no person waiting in the wings that everyone would rally around. None of the opponents in the primary - because they lost fair and square. Ryan? no way - Trump people hate him. Romney - same plus he's a proven loser - how would the party unite around him?

Who?

A newly released audio recording of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski's off-air conversations with Donald Trump has reignited concerns that the MSNBC co-hosts are too cozy with the Republican frontrunner.
The conversations, which took place during the commercial breaks at last week's MSNBC "Trump Town Hall" event, feature the three talking jovially about the success of Trump's campaign, his likelihood of winning South Carolina and Nevada, and the ineffectiveness of his opponents' attack ads.
At one point, Brzezinski tells Trump that she had "a wow moment" when he brought two men up on stage after they had removed a protester from a rally. Trump responds: "I saw it, I watched your show this morning. You had me almost as a legendary figure."
The audio, which was obtained by comedian and radio show host Harry Shearer, offered the latest evidence that the "Morning Joe" co-hosts are too friendly toward Trump, which has become a source of discomfort at NBC. Network insiders have chafed at what they described as Scarborough's "over the top" and "unseemly" admiration for the real estate magnate who is leading the GOP field.

He's always done this, but it used to be okay when it got her ratings. Screw the media people that gave in free air time to spout hate and NOW complain. If you really disapproved he wouldn't have been on your show so very often Mika,
