Morning Joe and Mika are attempting to be as fair as possible with Donald Trump this AM...

But, it had an uncomfortable beginning. Willie Geist and Donnie Deutch were there, along with John Heileman (sp) ... and Eddie Glaude, who seems to be the most intelligent of the lot.

It appears that Donald has opened a can of worms.

just my opinion.

They spent the whole first segment on another of their patented hillary email circle jerks.

This is how the right wing has "worked the referees" for a quarter century now.

To me it was more dipshit favoritism then fair. Are they trying to be on the debate list?

By saying that Donald had called him "Little Donnie"...

Then Willie informed them that he was going to be spending more time with them and less time with the morning show he has been on. Don't know what that is about?

Then they showed Donald's video pleading with white folks for African-American votes. Joe said that if he wanted to ask African Americans for their vote then he should ask African-Americans for their vote...

Mika's romantic relationship with Joe is being dragged out into the public. That was where Donald Trump's attack hurt the most. He knows the truth. Donnie was chomping at the bit to talk about it, but the vibe Mika was giving off... Honestly, at one point while Joe was talking, I thought she was going to start to cry. She was struggling to hold the facade together.

And Joe has been divorced for several years. I honestly don'tk now what the big deal is. They are both free to "date" each other. Trump didn't tell us anything we didn't know or at least strongly suspect.

Willie Geist on the "Today" show (his other TV stint) is annoying as hell! He comes across as a supercilious sanctimonious blowhard who's full of himself.
And he doesn't hide his Republican proclivities ... at all!
