doing a great job running the show with little or no snark, just discussing the news. What a pleasure it was to watch.

At the beginning, Nicolle Wallace was really trashing Ted Cruz, calling him 'intellectually dishonest', 'fearmongering', and 'lying to the voters'.

(63,771 posts)It was a productive morning on the set of Morning Joe! Even Nicolle Wallace was a bit more measured and reasonable. I loved the respectful way they spoke to each other and the (mostly) good behavior of the male panelists. When the lineup is all men and just subservient Mika the place sometimes gets zoo-like and is unwatchable. Today was a breath of fresh air. Things got discussed rationally and calmly. Nobody started yelling and waving their arms...

(63,771 posts)couple of times watching him spazz out on the set, it becomes old hat. Why relegate these excellent women commentators to the dead of August?

To be fair, the problem with the show is Joe and Joe alone. When Mika doesn't have to deal with Joe's interruptions and sophomoric frat-boy persona or play the female sidekick she improves immeasurably as well.
