General Discussion
Showing Original Post only (View all)Donny Deutsch to S.E. Cupp on Morning Joe - "Will you (or perhaps...do you ever) stop talking" [View all]
During the Morning Politico update the topic of Romney's conference call and the "gifts" comment came up.
The fact that a number of national Republican leaders spoke out against the statement led to the discussion of how the Republican party needs to realize it needs to change.
Cupp of course says that there is nothing wrong with the party.
Deutsch takes advantage of Cupp taking a breath and gets into the conversation telling Cupp that the Republicans need to realize that their "brand" is out of touch with today's population.
Cupp cuts off Donny stating that there's nothing wrong with the brand but that Republicans just need to better portray their policies.
At that point and totally exasperated Deutsch looks at Cupp and says "will you stop talking?" or "do you ever stop talking?" and proceeds to educate Cupp that a political party's policies do indeed make up the party's "brand". Barnicle then jumps in to say that what he'd like someone to explain is that if the Republican policies are in tune with the public how did both Romney and Ryan got blown out vote-wise in their hometowns.
It was a wonderful thing to see early on a Thursday morning. Best on-air moment on that show since Mika called Willie an "ass" during the 2008 campaign.
