Strawmen are erected so that they can be easily bowled over.

I'm not certain that even Donald Trump sees his campaign as more than a (straw) stuffed shirt.

Party. The GOP wants to get rid of Trump - either make him quit or disqualify him. It is morning Joe's job to now brainwash their people to now be against Trump and not be shocked when he is no longer the nominee.

I fear they will run a real nominee that might stand a chance of beating Hillary. Trump would most certainly lose. I don't know about someone that the GOP can get behind and put their money and machine to work for them.

What responsibility does the Republican voter bear ? What responsibility does the Right wing media and their years of vitriol bear ? MSNBC would be one of the last media networks I'd point my finger at.

a certain degree of responsibility. Trump has hid nothing. He is who he said he is all along. This fall's election is a referendum on the American people. Either the American people send this fool packing or they don't. Joe and Mika represent just two of those votes.

He is the perfect bogeyman because he is so unqualified and nuts that we cannot afford to elect him, no matter what!

to know about this guy. Why would you let the Right wing off the hook ? Both their politicians and their media have created an atmosphere of vitriol and intolerance that essentially conditioned their base to respond to a guy like Trump. Democrats should be dancing in the streets. The Right's phony dog whistling has turned into a blatant megaphone. I've been waiting for this day for years. The Republican Party, through Trump, is merely being outed for who they've really been all along.

with fox a close second if not the first worst. I also blame many americans for being so lazy that they won't secure knowledge for themselves instead they just believe what these puppets of the oligarchs spew 24/7. All many would have to do is just think. Mindless lemmings are a vast majority of the voting public.

This may or may not be true, but when you cite something as a fact rather than a possibility, you're expected to back it up.

It's like Hillary's speeches to Wall Street-why do you think she wants them secret? Sometimes you have to read between the lines. You know?

“That’s right, nothing too hard Mika," Trump interjected.
