27. She's not dumb; she's comfortable in her roll and station and pay in life...

For Mika, she knows she's got nothing better than the show that she's on; playing the roll of the "democratic view" against the Republican disgraced rep (who I'm not sure shouldn't be in jail, but we will never know about that because absolutely no one investigated the death of his intern).

She's cozy with her elite station in life. She doesn't want to give up her "good life". She is in the bubble and knows she wants to stay in the bubble. She's basically used her Daddy connection to achieve her spot. If she were too strong and stood up the the asshole who sits to her left everyday, he would want her gone. Joe needs a weak woman who hangs off of him and bobbles her head in agreement. Joe Scar couldn't handle being next to someone like Rachel or MHP or Joy Reid. Joe doesn't want to feel emascualted by a strong woman with valid facts and educated dialogue.

So, as an audience, we get a bunch of Republican talking points and a few "gosh Joe" with arm pats when she disagrees. The show is a fake equivalency of an AM political bubble talk where the arguments and days news center around Republican talking points and then Democrats appearing on the networks the rest of the day are having to argue against the Republican clap trap. Basically, the morning news programs set up the rest of the day's topics for everyone. By the time the PrimeTime big wigs appear, they are basically creating a show around dispelling the day's talking points with data and facts, however, most of America is watching "Dancing with the Stars" or "American Idol"' so they really don't get a chance to hear reality vs. republican talking points that aren't based on facts.

It's about time the rich are eaten... LOL.
