Every time I watch Morning Joe I think: MSNBC can do better than this.

[milestogo]

Arrogant Joe and Snippy Mika. What a pair.

[GeorgeGist]

1. Better for who? Certainly not for you ...

or me.

As usual, follow the money.

[USALiberal]

2. Someone here hates Msnbc, Cnn, Maher, etc daily! Nt

[hlthe2b]

3. Yes, but they do get good guests, I will give them that. They also both take enough time off to be

bearable on many occasions. Sometimes those guests hit Joe where he lives--like the guy this morning calling out religious hypocrisy on the right-- and that is almost delicious

I do like Willy.

[monmouth4]

5. I'm a big Eugene Robinson fan and Jon Meacham. Joe and Mika, secondary white noise..LOL. n/t

[hlthe2b]

6. Agree. Eugene is so damned sane, he helps me with my own sometimes wavering perspective!

[brooklynite]

4. ...and yet you keep watching?

Your patronage is appreciated.

[Desert Dem]

7. And you will see

them return to their Democrat bashing in due time.
They are like the Palins. Remember when they hauled ass to Mar a Lago to party with Trump et al?

[JaneQPublic]

8. On a positive note...

At least they're better than Don Imus.

Still can't believe he was ever on MSNBC.

[Desert Dem]

9. and Stephanie Miller was fired to make way for him.

John Kerry couldn’t stay away from Imus in 2004 either.

[hedda_foil]

10. No she wasnt. Stephanie had a one week tryout. They auditioned a number of shows.

[Desert Dem]

16. Semantics

[hedda_foil]

21. Reality vs wild exaggeration but have it your way

[Desert Dem]

24. give it a rest

[Paladin]

11. As long as we're compiling an "MSNBC can do better than this" list:

Add Chuck Todd, Chris Matthews, Steve Kornaki and Andrea Mitchell to it.

[pecosbob]

12. Every time I hear Scarborough I hear Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Mitch McConnell

So shut the f*ck up already Joe...nobody wants to hear your Reaganite bullsh*t. Now f*ck off, and take Comcast and all the GOP enablers with you.

[rsdsharp]

13. I prefer Charlie Pierce's name for them:

Squinty and the Meat Puppet.

14. I watch Morning Joe regularly

His show and his guests do a better job of eviscerating and exposing the trump crime family than almost anyone else on television. His show does this 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am satisfied that he has done enough to atone for his past. He has disowned the republican party and I cannot fathom his return simply because a Democrat is elected president. The republicans who remain in office after 2020 that he has curb stomped for the last 2 years will give him plenty of incentive to continue on the path he has now chosen. His daily audience is around 1,000,000 people. He has probably influenced thousands of those people to rethink their opinion of trump by exposing him with the use of educated guests and facts.

So tell me, what has anyone here done to top that? Unforgiving bitterness should not run so deep in the Democratic Party.

[milestogo]

15. Disowned the republican party?

I think not.

[quickesst]

17. he is no longer a Republican

He has quit the republican party and is now an independent. He may not have abandoned all of his conservative values, but he has thoroughly rejected trump's republican party. What you have brought up is a minor difference in opinion, and does not even scratch the surface of the subject matter in my post. I suspect that most of Joe Scarborough's haters would rather he not be such an outspoken critic of the trump crime family which many would perceive as justification for that hate. Unfortunately for them quite the opposite is true, and despite his past he has proven to be a valued voice against trump's degenerate republican party.

20. For Now...

He's done a damn good job at tearing into tRump and his evil regime. I'll cheer him on all the way.

But I also believe that if a more traditional type of republican got in the WH, he'd be running to reclaim that party like no other. Joe's not tRump's repub party. That's for sure. But it doesn't make him any less than what he was before 2016.

[quickesst]

23. I guess....

.... Thanks for agreeing with most of the talking points in my original post. You believe he will return to exactly what he was before the Trump debacle, but you offer only a belief in defense in your statement about that turnaround. My argument is that he will still hold conservative values, which I have already stated, but I do not believe he will return to the Republican Party but remain an independent. My reasoning, as stated before, is because of those Republicans who have been, and still are Trump puppets who undoubtedly will still be in office. I think they will provide enough incentive for him to keep the heat on those who will still be trying to spread Trump's poison. It's a difference of opinion, and remains to be seen who's is correct.

18. "His daily audience is around 100,000 people."

I read somewhere it was in the 900,000 to 1,000,000 range.

[quickesst]

19. you are absolutely right

I need to fix that. Shorted Joe a zero.

[5starlib]

22. Unlike most MSNBC talent, they are not anti-Biden

So I've enjoyed watching them recently. Hayes and Reid can go kick rocks.
