Morning Joe... "With Bernie's poor performance at the debate..."

"Poor"?
What a narrow, distorted view. Then Joe commented it wasn't poor in content, just in style or delivery.
I agree he has room to improve, but to describe it as a "poor performance" is bizarre.

Joe commented that Bernie KNOWS the issues deeply, but their sidekick disagreed, saying that Bernie doesn't know much about the details of foreign policy or military budgets.

Gee, he know a hell of a lot more than Trump does... Why the hell are Democrats held to such high standards compared to the dopes (George W) and ignoramuses (too many to mention) thrown up by the GOP?

They are the family members who are slow and dim witted. they embarrass you and drink too much. Their actions are anti social, they fight for no good reason, they pee on the lawn (Palins), and yet we keep inviting them because....hell I don't know why.

So you can't even get in the long line of talking heads we don't give a *bleep* about.

If you like a slick politician Hillary is your horse.

If you like heartfelt honesty albeit a bit rough around the edges then Bernie is your horse.

Perosnally I like honesty.

Joe Scab will attack any democratic threat. He's been trumpeting Bengazi or any other republican talking point to appease his conservative viewers...it's what he does! So his debasing Bernie is to be expected. I think he knows the dems are gonna win this election, so he is going to go balls out to put down whomever wins the nomination. I think he knows Clinton has been scrutinized for so many years, there's not much left to attack, so he jumps on Bernie....just in case.
