He's against Trump cause he's only trying to restore the GOP brand.

More subtle and refined lies and dog whistles? Where do they go from here? They are losers even with their embrace of white supremacists. Lop off 10% or whatever the white supremacist component is and they have what?

They are caught in their own web, spun by the likes of Lewis Powell and Jude Wanniski 50 years ago.

I think you give Scarborough too much credit. I think he is just lost.

No kidding, Arizona showed us the way to behave … not challenging the authenticity of the vote is HUGE in these days of lies and deceit.

If Joe Scum (I refuse to watch his show) is pushing the right to be civil, let him continue to do so. We have to start somewhere

By and large, we simply don't behave that way. When conservative Southern Democrats were a ruthless faction in our party, they created a lot of stories associated with "Democrats." But they were not us.

As it is, the most important function the Democratic Party serves is as defenders of democracy. THE defenders of democracy. These days we're it.

Let me get this straight...a woman who spent her campaign lying about her "support" for protection of pre-existing conditions and attacked the patriotism of her Democratic opponent, while the head of her party was crowing about how proud he was to be Nationalist...she gets a free pass because of a pretty speech while using her dog as a prop???


Talk about low standards...

They pointed out that Martha McSally's positive concession speech stood in stark contrast to the behavior of Scott, DeSantis and other Republicans.

If you want to hate what they say on MJ, I have a suggestion: don't watch it.

is something that was standard in almost every political race pre Trump.

Her entire campaign, though, was driven by lies and anger. Wasn't she one of those Republicans who said they would protect pre-existing conditions when she had voted against it in reality?

that she was caught on tape urging her fellow Republicans to get ACA repeal "f**king done"- or something to that effect.

And what would ACA repeal have done? Repealing pre-existing conditions protections. Thanks for asking.

For the most part he and his guests bash republicans. Sometimes he has pro republican things he and his guests say. Once in a blue moon I agree with those things.

Sometimes I do get a little tired of the echo chamber.

Sorry gop. When you appear in your sheep disguise we can still hear you howling. It's a giveaway.
