Watching Morning Joe is almost like watching a blood sport these days.

Been checking in on his show, and each day they more material with which to eviscerate Trump, and they might even be enjoying it.

Today, they covered the newest polls, that DT is harming down-ballot candidates, the latest, most damning comments by Trump, and that he won't take anyone's advice.

I thought he hated Hillary enough to support Trump no matter what. But he seems to have reached a point where he can't take it anymore. He ended this morning's broadcast with, "Republicans: Stand up and be counted." He's calling directly for a revolt against the nominee.

Reading any WP editorial that rips Trump a new one and bringing on a lot of WP staff/reporters. As they've said a number of times on the show, even in the middle of Watergate Nixon never banned the Post.

Joe's point re his petitions to the GOP seems to be that Trump's the figurative captain drunk at wheel and piloting the ship into an iceberg and it's time for the crew to stop being loyal and instead act to save the ship from further harm.

Morning Joe loved Trump all during the primaries. But as soon as Trump decided he would no longer go on the show, Morning Joe turned the tables.

Not ONE FACT about Donald Trump has changed in over a year. But his coverage has changed based ENTIRELY on the relationship between Scarborough and Trump taking a turn for the worse.

And for someone who loves to PRETEND to care about the value of women, Mika is a second class citizen on the show.
