Mika arguing with Tom Cole (R-OK) on morning Joe about

how he can continue to support DT after all of the stupid, dangerous things he's said, as well as being emotionall not well. Cole, like Michael Steele, is continuing to support him, saying HRC isn't any safer.

There are too many R's thinking of party over country. There are too many not budging over what seems obvious to us.

He kept repeating that he wants a president who doesn't lie all the time...

and that's why he supports...Trump?!!!

I was waiting for everyone to start laughing.

Their goal is to gaslight the whole nation. Facts are totally irrelevant if you're a Republican.

I'm watching that show now to see what they're saying and it's getting more than a little bit much. Her sad and worried for America mien these days, "Tsch!, tsch!, tsch. Wake up, America," is a 180-degree change from her perky Trump boosterism, but of course those are what the show's agenda requires at that point and this.

Tom Cole is a Republican congressman running for reelection. He appears to doing well now, but if he denounced Trump, he would lose the Trump voters and with them likely his seat.

He and Mika are both just doing whatever's required to hold onto jobs they like way too much.
