2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMorning Joe had his sad face on again today!
The polls show Obama up by 5 in Ohio, and Joe is starting to realize that the writing is on the wall!

(1,553 posts)I hope he cries in his pillow. Mika should be slapping him in the face with a bat for all the comments he made about Obama.

(5,004 posts)He looked down immediately after he finished reading the numbers off of twitter. He was probably thinking how will I spin those numbers. LOL

(1,214 posts)I tivo it, and was just listening to it all with my eyes closed. Will have to go back for that. I love it when Joe is despondent.

(63,769 posts)He simply couldn't spin this any other way altho he tried (faintly) to do so later in the show.

(233 posts)There is NO WAY a mayor can prevent the POTUS from visiting a storm-savaged city. It is the president's duty and right to pay a visit and care for the citizens. Regardless of what others are politicizing, he MUST VISIT!
We don't need to be diverting resources at the moment. This is a non-story as Bloomberg would never refuse if the President asked.
barnabas63
(1,214 posts)I was thinking about that myself. Aside from maybe Bloomberg doesn't have time right now..which I guess I could understand, what would be a reason Obama couldn't visit? Does the city have to provide security?

(100 posts)From his blatant lies
To his disdain for the poor.
From his severe conservatism
To his new found liberalism.
From his tax evasion
To his bullying gay kids.
Mitt Romney is always more PATHETIC. He is a flaming bag of dog poop on the doorstep of life.

(5,808 posts)loses in Michigan, Minn. and one other state (Iowa?). Joe will grow a mustache if Obama wins either FL or NC.
Someone asked Joe if he had ever had a mustache and he said, "No, but I'm about to."

(102 posts)I doubt Axelrod is worried one bit.
Atman
(31,464 posts)about NC AND FL. Axelrod got him to change it NC OR FL. Joe is just exuding confidence.
Atman
(31,464 posts)"Well, you're not going to have anything to talk about after the election, so people can tune in to watch your mustache grow."

(424 posts)I have followed her reports since August and her reports always start like, "Governor Romney is fighting back!" Or "Governor Romney has cut, repeat, has cut the Presidents lead" , or as she said the other day with an excitement in her voice, "Governor Romney is finally punching back!". Can't wait to see this useless hack mascarading as a repoorter when her "Governor" Romney is handed his political ass on Tuesday.

(204 posts)It was awesome to hear him grappling with reality. Perhaps someone at MSNBC schooled him on this little thing we have called the electoral college. He is in the earliest stages of grief. Welcome to reality Joe!

PsychProfessor
(204 posts)It can be unspeakably aggravating but it is as close as I can stomach to actually exposing myself to conservative claptrap. Joe can drive a person completely bonkers but he reminds me of my brother. And when he is getting down on the republican party or feeling like the election is not going their way, it is just plain pleasant. Schadenfreude. If/When Obama pulls this election out, I will watch with glee and evil villain laughter. Something (else) to look forward to on the morning of Wednesday November 7th. (((I hope! Knock wood)))
