Have ya noticed how "Morning Mika" works so much better without Joe? (Original Post) TreasonousBastard Mar 2018 OP
Mika does do a great job. Joe is a waffling redumbliCON that isn't sure democratisphere Mar 2018 #1
Oh absolutely! Noticed this for years. I wish big-mouth Joe would take a hike! PearliePoo2 Mar 2018 #2
so nice not to have Joe monopolizing the discussion--interrupting everyone. hlthe2b Mar 2018 #3
I agree - that's the worst part of his show FakeNoose Mar 2018 #15

She's organized, serious and in control. There's no interrupting. Everyone has respect for one another.

It's like night and day.

Joe Scarborough acts like he's the #1 permanent guest on his own show.

They should make her the host and give him 5 minutes to blather, and then move on to the real guests.

Because he thinks he knows more than everyone. With Mika, it is extra egregious because there is an air of possession of her with him. And she bats her eyelashes and demurs to him. All that's missing is a giggle.

Blech.

He is a blowhard who monopolizes the discussion. And if anyone points it out, well...

Misogynistic piece of crap...and thanks to his Repuk roots a skilled manipulating liar.

She does a great job. The show is so much better when she runs it by herself.

They need to keep Joe in a soundproof booth. Audio goes in, but nothing comes out.

I noticed that years ago. Watching the show with Joe is just so exhausting. I finally quit watching Morning Joe a long time ago. What an awful way to start the day.

Joe has a melt down if Mika interjects, but he constantly talks over her. He’s an ass!

They should put Joe and Chris Matthews on a show together and let those two egos interrupt each other to their hearts content. Might come to blows; it would at least be a McLaughlin Group style shouting match.

I'm thinking, "Who is worse than Joe? Why, only Chris Mathews, that's who"!

How many great answers had Chris stuffed with his spittle laden interruption?

Yet, I still watch him as he does have a point every now and again plus he gets first rate guests.
