Morning Joe says Trump has "disqualified" himself with his David Duke comments...

I don't know when Joe and Mika jumped off the Trump bandwagon but they were two hangdogs this morning. Joe said the Donald was "stupid" if he thought the South bought into the racial divisions of David Duke and the KKK.

Normally, Trump calls into their show and gets as much time as he wants to explain himself. This morning, the phone didn't ring.

Since Joe and Mika have been the biggest cheerleaders for Trump up to this point, although Chris Mathews did a huge puff-piece on him the other night, it was surprising to see them criticizing Donald Trump for not denouncing David Duke.

Will this have any impact on Trump's campaign? With Marco Rubio on the trail ridiculing his every move and with this 180-degree turn by the media, will Trump survive this assault?
