OK, I really didn't want to get bent outta shape this morning but JOE SCARBOROUGH

forced me into a rant at the TV.

He was attacking Dem candidates about "taking away guns" from Americans and how that is a loser position (I forget whether his little rant included his obligatory reference to his days down south).

Joe, at least mention the distinction made by Beto O'Rourke who singled out by name the weapons that have no business in the hands of anybody not in the military. https://www.nbcnews.com/video/beto-o-rourke-hell-yes-we-re-going-to-take-your-ar-15-68832325641

Good god, man, get it straight...

doing the very thing he wrote 10,000 words about, some of which seemed like it was made out of whole cloth

Scarborough HATES Trump and has said he will vote for the Dem but he really doesn’t want it to be Bernie or Warren. He thinks they are too far left and would lose in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
I don’t share that view but I do know a lot of moderate Dems and some moderate Republicans that do feel that way.
