Morning Joe just declared fRump a total fake candidate: Nothing real there

They agreed his mexican trip revealed he lied about Peno refusing to pay for the wall. They also agreed that he contradicted himself 3 hours later with the most viscous speech ever.

It all adds up to him having no ability to lead anything. The trip backfired.

Were they really surprised? avebury Sep 2016 #1
Yes, I think in total it backfired. Aside: Proofreading missed "viscous" --> "vicious". . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2016 #2

... the email impact in turn out election where dems approve of their candidate by over 80% and tRump isn't even close to that in his party.

Mika's evidence the email story is having an impact "the people I talk to" as if she lives in the real world

this out of the way, including saying (which I think is the truth), that "I was over protective because I was concerned what the Republicans would do with my words". Get it out of the way and then when/if more emails come out, she can just shrug the shoulders and say it's just more of the same.

... in which there has been no polls were dems care about the email issue to the degree it diminishes enthusiasm.

It was stupid, but 1.5 years worth of media coverage stupid?! ... no

Get it out of the way and then when/if more emails come out, she can just shrug the shoulders and say it's just more of the same.


She's already said it was a mistake, if she says this then they'll want something else... I've been there when someone just wants to beat you up about something you've apologized for and did your best to rectify.

again, Clinton is around the 90% approval among dems... in a turn out election this is waaaaaaay more important than sound bite media

She should be 15/20 points ahead of this dickhead, but instead it's going to be a 5-7 point win. The Democratic Party should be winning back the Senate and the House in this situation.

She needs to somehow neutralise the news of incessant drip drip of emails etc, to allow moderate Reps and Independents to get behind her.

(also love how Mika refused to utter Ann Coulter's name, told the producer to scroll right past it, she refuses to say her name on the show! Won't give a hateful person any coverage!)

None of it has anything to do with anything.
