What do you think Joe Scarborough should say (if anything) to defend his fiancee?

[Doodley]

He will be on his show tomorrow. He will look at the camera and have a message for Donald Trump. What should he say?

[NightWatcher]

1. Hell yes he should defend his woman's honor

Call me ancient and sexist but Joe better demand satisfaction from trump and defend his lady.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. "His woman"? Seriously?

[NightWatcher]

9. I don't mean like "property" but partner. His other half.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. How about "his fiancee," then?

"His woman" has the unpleasant odor of ownership.

[sir pball]

28. "My woman" is...

...strong, capable, competent, independent and in many, even most, ways a better person than I am.

And yet she still calls me "my man", and vice versa.

In this day of almost infinite good battles, choose well.

[Gravitycollapse]

38. It's a good battle. You guys should unpack the potential ownership implications of your language.

[chillfactor]

2. I hope Joe stumps on the asshat orange one.....

and hard.

[mucifer]

3. They will enjoy the rating trump given them.

[BootinUp]

4. Challenge Don the Con to a duel?

[Xipe Totec]

11. With what, feces? He's a master at flinging it. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. He should shut up and let her defend her own honor as she desires.

It would add sexist insult to sexist injury for him to swoop in like freaking Dudley Do-Right to rescue poor weak Nell from off the railroad tracks where Snidely Whiplash tied her.

[HipChick]

7. Based on his tweets...ain't going to be good for Don the Con...but Mika

is quite capable of handling herself..

[emulatorloo]

27. +1 re Mika's toughness

[C_U_L8R]

8. Apologize and resign.

Trump is an embarrassment who shames all of us.

[Docreed2003]

10. I hope he calls Ole Scrotum Chin out for his lies in the tweet...

There's pics online of Mika on the night in question. She's very clearly not "bleeding badly" from a facelift. Hope he calls out this sick fuck for the lies and adds in a dose of "scalp reduction surgery" for his fucking baldness that President Orange Julius just can't seem to accept!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Mika should do it herself.

She isn't Joe's property that he has to defend.

[Docreed2003]

15. Very true!

[Atticus]

13. Hello? Is Mika suddenly incapable of speaking for herself?

Let Joe defend himself and let Mika respond to the Oval Office idiot in her own fashion.

Unless Joe intends to challenge him to a duel: "Cutlasses at dawn!" That could be cool.

[Doodley]

21. They are partners. They were both attacked. Let them defend themselves and each other.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

16. My DVR is set to record Morning Joe.

I will DVR this episode. I am sure both Joe and Mika will unload on Donald Trump with a fury and it will cause ripples through the White House and Republican Party. As for the Republican Party, they are doomed of they do not stand up to Trump, for Trump now is the true face of the Republican Party, and that face is UGLY.

[ecstatic]

17. Hopefully he handles it better than Ted Cruz did.

"Leave Heidi the hell alone!1"

Pathetic Cruz tried to BFF Trump just a few weeks later. SMH

Edited to add: Joe is a performer so I think it will be popcorn worthy.

[Doodley]

18. Donald Trump, we've seen it time and time again. You use Twitter to behave like the school bully

then you hide from the media rather than face questions and take responsibility for your own words.

You have to get your paid cronies to defend your unhinged behavior because you don't have the guts to do it yourself. If you have something to say, be a man, not a cowardly little man who brings shame to the office of the presidency, but be a man and come into this studio on live TV and say it to my face, and while you are here, we will arrange for both you and Mika to take an IQ test on live TV to settle this once and for all.

And if you can't do that, let it be known that you are a fraud. You are not the tough guy you have pretended to be to get elected, but a man who is so weak that you can't take criticism from a woman who frankly is far, far smarter than you, a man whose entire career has been a vanity project to surround yourself with yes men.

[Barack_America]

19. Lol. Mika is capable of defending herself.

Joe can hold her earrings.

[cry baby]

20. He should say "Mika, you have the floor, uninterrupted."

Then, after she has her say, he can launch into his tirade.

[oberliner]

35. Maybe she will use the time to trash Hillary Clinton

Like she did for ten months during the election campaign.

[Hoyt]

22. Would love to see MB just appear alone and look into the camera and express total disdain

for Trump for 30 minutes or more. Then have JS join and maybe a few others. Make it a ridicule fest before they go back to letting Trump slide by. Should be interesting.

[oberliner]

34. It would be reality tv show theatre

In real life, they are friends.

[Bayard]

23. I don't have a problem with him defending her

I would hope he'd do the same for any friend.

[gordianot]

24. Maybe they could get Joe Biden to meet Donald behind the gym.

This would have done Donald a world of good something he was missing years ago. Actually I suspect Mika could handle Donald on her own.

[brettdale]

25. The only way he can hurt trumpy

Is to produce evidence that hasnt been seen before about Trumpy being involved
with Russia hacking the election.

Or the apprentice N word tape or the hooker video.

Anything else doesnt do damage to trumpy at all.

[oberliner]

33. They don't want to hurt Trump

He has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to them.

[Historic NY]

26. This...........

[sir pball]

29. IMO neither of them should reply, except to his face.

Were I in his situation, I'd simply say "Mr. President seems to have an opinion of my fiancee that's not at all based in fact. I invite him to come on the show and personally repeat and defend these allegations to her and myself...in person."

IOW - SAY THAT TO MY FACE, MOTHERFUCKER.

[oberliner]

32. They are friends

They take vacations together.

[phleshdef]

30. I think he will mostly sit back-and let Mika have at it

[oberliner]

31. Joe, Mika, and Trump are all friends.

This is a game.

They are thrilled by Trump's tweet - great for their ratings (clearly).

[DURHAM D]

36. Mika, Joe, Trump all trash.

They deserve each other. Joe and Mika gave him daily blow jobs through out the campaign so who gives a shit.

[delisen]

37. He should say, I resign. I am guilty of creating the Trump Presidency.

I am not a journalist. I was a lousy Republican politician. I moved into political infotainment because I saw an opportunity to make big bucks by blowing smoke in the eyes of the citizenry.

I and my fiancé played good cop/bad cop and we pretended to play "I am a journalist." We elevated the brazen fool candidate and dumped on the good government candidate.

Time for Mika and me to cash in and retire to a swank resort. Thanks for making us multimillionaires, suckers.

Hope you couch potatoes can start digging America out of the Trump Sinkhole.

Anyone who has been hooked on this and other political infotainment show should quit cold turkey, recover, and get seriously involved in defending the Constitution against Donald Trump.

Slaves to mass media corporatism are part of the problem, not the solution.
