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, hes winging it, co-host Joe Scarborough told Brzezinski. Hes 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-dont-know-what channel recently.
And its pathetic, number one, she said. Its sad for the party, its sad for the country, and its sad for his candidacy, which could have done so much.

Who?

(28,795 posts)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.
