1. Mika sounds funny, very stressed, as she spins equivalence

between both of them making money "legally" under the system -- "equivalent" except that Trump's honest and Hillary's not.

Uhuh. As one of Bush Sr.'s advisors said, people who support Trump are making moral and intellectual mistakes of massive proportions. Mika's sold out and gets to live with hers. I remember when she first joined the program and her feelings of leading a life of virtue and propriety were on constant display. They seem to be mostly gone, even if she doesn't admit it.

3. We both posted much the same thing at the same time.

She used to offer an animated opinion (even if it was for appearances as counterbalance to Joe).

Now she sounds flat. Jet lag?

6. She's probably tired of Joe hammering at her until she changes her opinion.

He treats her so condescendingly, it's hard to watch.

Morning Joe is a panel of old white guys. Women and minorities are severely underrepresented.

When they refer to the average hardworking American voter, they ALWAYS mean blue-collar whites. It's their default 'standard' voter, as if the rest of us are anomalies.

8. It's complete BS that Clinton gives nothing away!

Her and Bill have given huge amounts over their lives, both financially and otherwise. There's no comparison between the Clintons and Trump.

It seems like they hate it when Clinton starts doing too well (or is it that they hate when any woman does too well?). Every time she starts getting ahead in the polls, they scramble to find reasons she doesn't 'deserve' it.

I'm so sick of them both.

10. Lawrence O'Donnell showed up as the voice of sanity

J&M are talking him down over the PTSD issue. They're saying The Idiot's remarks were taken out of context. LO is throwing it back at them.

Mr. pig is a veteran and he is royally pissed over Trumpy's comment.

12. Joe and Mika did not like it when Jim Vandehei
Tue Oct 4, 2016, 07:35 AM
Oct 2016

said the election is not close. He said he gives Trump a 10% chance of winning. Joe says if he wins this state and this state and then add this Trump can win, right? One of the states Joe was trying to give Trump was PA and Jim V. basically said that was not gonna happen. He said PA polls always look good for Republicans during presidential elections.

17. Vandehei is no fool and does his homework, unlike Joe and the bobblehead next to him.

Vandehei doesn't want to look like an idiot after this election is over. He has a reputation to stand by and live by. Joe's biggest qualification is that he is a disruptor of political realities and spins on it constantly.

There are always a couple of rational people in the room, trying to get them to see reality. But Joe just shouts them down.

I don't understand why people get up every morning expecting them to change their stripes.
