Well, I'll be damned! Morning Joe had a full segment interviewing Bernie!

[CTyankee]

They let Bernie lay out his agenda quite thoroughly. It looked like Mika enjoyed hearing what he had to say and Joe was very respectful and courteous. They had Jane on, too, and talked a bit about her history as a local organizer (reminding me of early Obama!) for social justice in so many areas.

Joe and Mika seemed amazed that Bernie could raise so much money from small donors -- those $27 donors -- to whom they can go back to again. It was a good point.

It was a delightful half hour or so and Bernie laid out his case that we here at DU know so well. It couldn't have been better, IMO.

Well, I guess I've had my "sugar high" on Bernie today and from Morning Joe of all places. They really gave him lots of time and nobody got pissy...

It was a good day for Democrats on MJ. They were deeply impressed by Obama's presentation of his gun control E.O.'s but their repuke guests were typically crappy. Boy what a contrast later with Bernie...

[RKP5637]

1. Amazing!!!!!! Earlier, it was all about republicans and I turned it off. Missed the Bernie part! n/t

[CTyankee]

2. you can get it if you go to msnbc's website. they have full segments of their show.

msnbc.com

I know it's silly, but one thing I noticed is how he, like the Donald, says "yuge" for "huge." They're both New Yorkers.

[RKP5637]

4. Thanks!!!

[dorkzilla]

12. I don’t know any other NYers that say “yuge” and I’m from da Bronx

Actually I take that back. I’m the only one born in the NYC boroughs that doesn’t say “yuge”.

My proper Edwardian grandma made sure I spoke the King’s English, conducting her own elocution lessons so I would know how to properly give a Duke his due on Tuesday if he passed by 233rd Street.

Seriously, I was trained not to say “too (2) little boyds (birds) sitting on a koyb (curb) eating woims (worms)”.

I guess it was yuge that she did that.

[Armstead]

15. Some show did a montage of their huges

Some show (I forget which) noticed the same thing and put together a reel of both trumop and Bernie from different speeches using the word "yuge." It was kind of funny.

[Protalker]

3. What a great man

Best ever. No questions about mid east
He needs to address the other 50% of the job.

[CTyankee]

5. I feel certain that he will expand his program further as we go along, simply because

HRC's strong point is foriegn policy and voters want to hear what he has to say.

[Fawke Em]

30. I still find it odd that foreign policy is considered her strong point.

She's messed up nearly every foreign policy position she took and/or she has a neocon-approved FP.

[CTyankee]

32. she was Obama's secretary of state and he didn't see her a messing up on fp.

I don't think Obama is a neocon.

[Duckfan]

46. She had her usual kissy town hall today/yesterday claiming she had experience...

and that she knows exactly where the Oval Office is.

Say what?

[cui bono]

48. Yeah, I love Morning Joe too!

9. First Time in a Long Time

I watched Morning Joe for more than a few seconds.

Was a bit surprised they were so civil.

[CTyankee]

14. I figured Mika would be but I too was surprised at Joe.

Maybe he wanted Bernie to talk to weaken Hillary...that's all I could think of...

[Armstead]

17. I think Joe actually has the capacity to be reasonable at times

I think when he respects people, he tends to tone down the aggressive blowhard stuff.

[valerief]

43. That sounds more like it. nt

[emulatorloo]

10. Great! Thanks for posting, will look for video on the net! N/t

[EV_Ares]

11. Joe, respectful & courteous? Thanks for letting us know he can do that. I will watch the video on

MSNBC.com. I stopped watching Morning Joe some time ago because they seem to be faux lite anymore so have not seen that show for quite a while.

[CTyankee]

13. he started with a bit of a smirk but then was remarkably polite...I don't know what

happened to the guy...

[Armstead]

18. Maybe he felt the Bern ;)

At the end of the show, Mike Barnacle was asked "what he learned today" and he said "Well, I'm feeling the Bern."

[CTyankee]

19. Barnacle was funny on the show this morning. He looked dazed. I was wondering if

it was Bernie's sheer common sense (scarce on that show) and moral outrage at what is going on in this country, also scarce on that show...someone at last sitting down with the MJ crew and giving it to them straight...

[Mnpaul]

38. Like other RW hosts

Scarborough probably didn't want to go after someone who is good at fighting back.

[CTyankee]

39. so true. bernie just has to jab and Joe goes down in a heap...such a loser...

[Mnpaul]

40. Tweety does it as well

He will spout crap when Bernie isn't on the show, but to his face, he is nice and respectful.

[CTyankee]

42. HEH. yes indeed...

[Uncle Joe]

16. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, CTyankee.

[raindaddy]

21. Since Sanders message is being censored by the mainstream media

I hope Bernie's supporters post this interview on social media...

&feature=share

[SoapBox]

22. This is great!

...didn't even know he was supposed to be on.

[KoKo]

23. It was Excellent. Here's DU video Link and also the MSNBC Link to Interview

I don't know if this part has the interview with Jane Sanders but that was a good watch, also. I saw it live so I didn't go through the posted video but if anyone missed it they can watch some of it here posted on DU


http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1017&pid=319188

Or, go to MSNBC and watch the Video Segments of the Whole Interview, Scrolling Down to "Morning Joe" Clips at bottom:

[tex-wyo-dem]

24. To my knowledge, this is the second time...

Bernie has been on MJ; the first time was back in the summer when Bernie was having his massive rallies and I remember being surprised Joe was very respectful, asked good questions and allowed Bernie to respond without interruption.

I think Joe kinda likes Bernie and may secretly agree with him on a lot of things.

[mountain grammy]

25. I'll go to the website to watch..

gave up MJ a long time ago, but Bernie is always worth watching. Thanks for letting us know.

[Akamai]

26. I saw that too -- very respectful for the most part!

I have recorded it and will watch it again tonight, but very, very nice interview!

Certainly Bernie is making it into some MSM platforms. And Jane Sanders also was very positive, knowledgeable.

But MJ interview that I can remember!

[YOHABLO]

27. My suspicion tells me that people on the left have been complaining that

they haven't been giving Sanders fair air time. As you know, those of you who have watched this, Trump had a little 'sit down' with Mika and Joe before the Sanders piece. Plus the fact Joe surrounds himself with Republican Lites and DLCers every morning. Can't you see that gang at a cocktail party with their scotches on the rocks in hand. Sickens me.

[Mnpaul]

41. My guess

MSNBC is running out of viewers.

[LiberalArkie]

28. Everyone including the pundits have been told for years that no one could get elected for a major

office without large amounts of money from the rich and powerful. Everyone was told that the John Does could not finance a large political campaign. That is why you can not have public financing. Bernie #1 goal was to prove that public financing can work.

[azmom]

31. Bernie is changing things already.

He is a great leader.

[Duckfan]

47. I just hope caucus people in Iowa liked it too

Good for Bernie to get some major airtime and exposure.

[PearliePoo2]

29. I watched this live also.

I jumped on the Morning Joe Facebook and weighed in too.
There's a pretty good assortment of like-minded posters there. What fun!
I'd say that Mika was feeling the Bern this morning, given her nodding and vocal agreement!

[onecent]

33. Bernie's wife is CERTAINLY a secret weapon. What a SUPER SUPER LADY!!!!

[CTyankee]

34. did you hear them list the things she has done in her own community?

It was mind boggling.

No wonder Bernie loves her...

[LiberalArkie]

35. The media has a very vested interest in people not conducting expensive campaigns. The last

thing the media wants is for politicians to start conducting campaigns via internet and person to person again campaigns instead of spending millions on media advertising. All the media is very scared that Bernie might win or even get close to winning. That would not be good for lobbyists or large wealthy donors.

[CTyankee]

36. That's why I was so surprised to see how nicely Bernie was treated on MJ!

they had a lot of dignity and respect for Bernie and I for one appreciated it...

[LiberalArkie]

37. I think a lot of people in all sorts of powerful positions are having to re-evaluate positions they

have held in the past.

I have talked to a high school "friend" who is old money and he is hoping for Bernie. He said he lost way too much to the bankers on Wall Street. We keep thinking Wall Street, but there were very few who made money from the collapse. Not a lot of people who held a lot of stock did all that well especially if they were not insiders. He was hoping that someone would do something to "reign in the Capones on Wall Street".

[onecent]

50. GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are the reason we are in this MESS.

[valerief]

44. I'm a little worried for Bernie now. I don't trust a media giving him too much air time.

I don't trust what they're up to. I hope Bernie has secret service protection.

[LiberalElite]

45. And Good Morning America had a 3 minute

interview with Stephanopolous today between 7-7:15 a.m. That's a lot for ABC.

[BigBearJohn]

49. Here is a Youtube video of the show
