Gosh morning Joe was bad today

cherry picking polls that favor Trump. Just now saying terrible things about Bill. I did not watch the whole show as I just could not stomach it. Too bad as they have good people on. Switching to CNN did not work because Cuomo had on the terrible Kelly Ann

I will be so glad when this is over.

Go to https://www.freespeech.org/ and watch Bill Press or something.

And the best show on the planet is Stephanie Miller at 9AM EST.

OHYEAH!

Morning, should be "Mourning," Joe. Since the demise of Don Imus I don't watch MSNBC in the morning. With the way that network has taken a right turn I don't watch during the day, either.

When I have the tv on it's usually muted, because of the Rump cretins the stations continually trot out.

entire election season, their pathetic willingness to give him endless free time and positive coverage (including live cuts to his rallies when they ignored Clinton until they began getting serious complaints), their willingness to report on EVERY Clinton "scandal" while ignoring Trump's bullshit unless it hit them in the face, and they were forced to cover it (as with the Access Hollywood tape), the paying of Trump surrogates Corey Lewandowski and the appalling Boris -- well, I have lost whatever naive faith I once had in cnn's ability to report news.

And like you I quickly realized that Joe and sidekicks were cherry picking only the polls that shows trump close or ahead. He's trying to spin Michigan as in play? Sorry not buying it Joe.

Not suggesting that so many members of DU are insane but it makes me wonder what the attraction to this worthless show.

Reminds me of my niece's horse, Butternut. He was addicted to unripe wild persimmons which are very astringent. He would eat one causing his lips inside out showing nearly all of his teeth and gums. With a snort he would shake his head only to return for more torture.

I have to give Trump credit for one thing-when he tweeted mika was neurotic he nailed it. It's as if they are blatantly trying to appease him now so he will return to their show. They are just as upsetting as Fox and Friends with the snarky comments lately. Can't watch

when I don't see Kelly Anne's face on my TV screen!

I used to watch Morning Joe a long time ago, but I've found that most of the morning shows seem to be rather conservative. Perhaps conservatives get up earlier than liberals? Or perhaps they are more inclined to turn on the TV?

Anyway, Morning Joe is a terrible way to start one's day. It could put you in a foul mood all day long.

I find him to be self-absorbed loudmouth who is more vindictive than intelligent.
A lot of the same personality traits as that jackass Donald Trump.

That said, I may have to tune in next Wednesday just to see him squirm.
