Why are all of the commenters on Morning Joe talking about the Senate Democrats "laying down"

instead of all-out fighting the Kavanaugh nomination?

Don't some of them read DU?

Don't they know Democrats are doing all that is possible for the minority to do?

Release the documents online.

Don't show up to the hearing.

Let the people see the Trump parties underhanded tactics.

Don't just lie down, or get stream rolled.

They think Dianne Feinstein is behind this this milk toast approach.

Fight.

Just like they normalized Trump, get ready for them to level the paying field by trashing Democrats. It's about to happen. Bigly.

Some people will never be able to grasp the medias ability to keep both parties strong, or weak, depending on the times.

This. I am pretty damn tired of how weak and ineffective they have been behaving. I expect more from them.

He must know all the regular commentators push the show's conservative themes. Because all intelligent viewers do.

Couldn't miss. Joe and his panel diss Dems every single day without fail, with the very same goals and methods Russia uses -- which, btw, the Mueller quote below summarizes.

Atticus did bring us a nice typical example, which those who don't watch can examine to understand Morning Joe's motive and method.
