Joe Scarborough: "What does Vladimir Putin have on Donald Trump?"
Ripping the Cyber Security idea to pieces along with the 13 hours later turn around.
Reading tweets from Graham and Sass.
Calling the meeting with Putin a failure and a capitulation.
Talking about how Trump doesn't care who he throws under the bus and has zero loyalty to his staff.
Joe asking how long is it going to take before the voters get a clue.
About to go after Don Jr.
Trump must be throwing things at his TV.
I guess we will wait a long time before Joe and Mika apologize for the early campaign coverage of this walking nightmare.

(24,259 posts)I'm no fan of Scarborough but I'm disliking him a bit less for his and Mika's turning on Trump finally. Although I'd like to think Joe finally decided to put country over party, my cynical side is much louder thinking this is all for ratings/show.

What happened at the Moscow pageant that makes it part of the story?

It was a quick statement. But, he did sneak in a little dem bash.

(58,724 posts)This is all about ratings.
Also, Trump is watching (and retweeting) Fox and Friends.

(16,887 posts)And even if they were associated with each other at social events, I don't believe they were ever "close" and it was all show business. But I do believe regardless, you need to make your statement past tense - because there is most certainly not any friendship now.
NewJeffCT
(56,829 posts)I don't think The Donald has any real friends. He was using Joe & Mika to promote his candidacy and then Joe and Mika were using him because he gave them good ratings...
Joe has turned on Trump before only to turn around and toe the party/Trump line not long afterwards. However, I think Joe is definitely staying anti-Trump for longer this time around and is louder and more forceful about it. Maybe now that his relationship with Mika is out in the open he's more relaxed?

(16,887 posts)Sometimes in life we need those moments that wake us up and we all ask ourselves how we could have been so blind...
I think Joe and Mika had that wake up call...who knows what they know and experienced - but I got chills when they told the National Enquirer story and how they were being told to kiss the Don's ring and it would all go away...
One thing they both keep repeating: is that trump is not mentally well in the head...

I'm not a BIG fan, but it's obvious they can't win on DU. Joe has never claimed to be anything but a repug. Opinions can be fluid, times and facts change. No grudge like a DU grudge. YMMV

(145,567 posts)Joe and Mika really tore into trump
packman
(16,296 posts)of Joe/Mika having candidate Trump on the phone every day and not one word of Trump's flaws, peccadilloes , or failures. He was the man who was the star, the big Kahuna, the cheese on the political burger.
Now - Well, the wind has shifted and the world has turned. In other words, I appreciate any negative media coverage of Trumpinstein, but I do believe I will NOT get up early to watch JoeMika beating their newly crafted drum.
