That was fast! Joe Scar full-on for Team Jeb, throws Christie out-skie on his butt-skie...

No more Morning Joe fan club for CC...you are toast, fella! Get outta my face, sez the top GOP donors...

He had Lawrence O'Donnell on, who in typical over the top fashion really finished CC off...it was delicious fun...

Joe slobbered over Jeb: "He can beat Hillary!" But Heilemann offered a more sobering assessment...that if Hillary is portrayed as "old hat" then Jeb Bush could be considered equally "old hat." Point on the board!

It's a new day on Morning Joe today! Even the ACA got huzzahs from Drs. Zeke Emanuel and David Agus...

Many people here will sneer, but her most dedicated supporters will crawl over glass to see her take that oath. It's a positive, whereas Jeb really doesn't have a way to get away from that last name.

But I agree that "first woman President" will mean a lot to a lot of people, and Hillary's coat-tails could be enormous (as could Elizabeth Warren's).

Attacking her over Bill's affairs is just plain silly. And I think Joe's assessment that Jeb is more qualified is nonsense in a race with Hillary. They'll try with the Benghazi stuff, but most voters don't much care about it as an issue.

Obama showed the only way to defeat her with Dems was to offer a positive alternative. I think that holds true for the GE as well. The problem for any Republican is their party now runs on negative fuel. Anti-gay rights/women's rights/immigration rights/government, etc.

Attacking a woman over her husband's affairs is not only unfair, it's sexist and stupid as a political strategy. She was the wronged party, it makes her more likable not less so. It also pisses off many women who may not have even wanted her as a candidate.

that tape of Kasich talking about "Sheldon" like he's his ole buddy was embarrassing. Kasich looked like an idiot.

All his lovey-dovey stuff about how great Christie is will be yet another huge embarrassment for Joe...and he's had a LOT of them over the years...that pompous ass...

any male candidate to appear to feel that way. And women do a lot of campaign work on the ground so to speak and are needed by male candidates...
