Today on Morning Ho MSNBC

Mika: Hillary did not have a message in 2016.

Joe: Barack Obama (without saying his name) did not know how Washington worked.



Joe: Hillary was not an attractive candidate.
(Funny she got more votes than anybody in history except for Barack Obama in 2008)

4. Thanks for watching them so I don't have to. I find "ho" to be a jerk and sometimes Mika ...

can be one, too at times.

They mistake "tag line" for message and "sound bites" for policy.

7. I love this show. It doesn't bother me when they say things I don't agree with. Most of the time

... that are just straight up factually wrong such as the statements in my o.p. it
pisses me off. Hillary did have well crafted messages but the media like Joe, Mika,
and others kept talking about her emails, Barack Obama very much knew how
Washington worked but McConnell and other worked 24/7 to block everything he
tried in order to sink the economy so the people would vote Obama out, and truth
be told Hillary was very popular.

out. As far as discussing Democrats and their shortcomings....I don't do that here so that is all I can say.

But I am glad to see you are objective and you are able to watch them without going off a cliff the moment they say something incorrect or that we just don't agree with.

....that a lot of Democrats haven't said, including a great many right here on Democratic Underground. As long as he is spending 90% of his time completely excoriating the drump Administration and his own former party, his statements as presented in the OP does not merit the wholesale condemnation he receives from some members of Democratic Underground. It's almost as if some are watching Morning Joe just waiting for that line or two that might be construed as anti-democratic or right-wing looking for that aha moment so they can run to the board and try to convince everyone that he is a dirty right winger that spends 90% of his time criticizing.......... the right wing.
